Safety
Operating Precautions
Proper operation of the SLPA depends upon timely maintenance and
appropriate operation. Always observe the following precautions:
•
Use label stock which is designed for use with the SLPA. Printronix
supplied replacement stock is recommended.
•
Ensure that a regulated air supply is used for the pneumatic system. Use
the appropriate filters for the removal of dirt, oil, and excessive moisture.
•
Secure all protective guards, covers, and enclosures prior to operating
the SLPA. Ensure proper mounting of the SLPA prior to use.
•
Do not attempt to operate an SLPA from a power source other than that
for which it was designed. Do not use any of the SLPA’s components to
power or operate any equipment except those they are intended to
operate.
•
Use only Printronix replacement parts for maintenance and repair.
•
You must have this manual to perform any maintenance. Use only the
appropriate tools and ensure that maintenance workers are properly
grounded if work is being performed on the circuitry.
•
Do not use objects other than a finger to operate buttons on the keypad.
•
Sound pressure levels indicated a maximum reading of 81
±
1dB(A).
Sound levels were determined based on SLPAs of similar design and
assembled with a 3 x 4 inch applicator pad. Readings were taken in a low
noise environment, at approximately 1.0 meter.
NOTE: Sound levels may vary depending upon the mounting of the SLPA,
the surface to which a label is applied, and the environment in which it
is used. The size of the applicator pad can also affect sound levels, in
that larger pads can produce greater noise when applying labels.
Operational Safety
WARNING
The addition of custom safety guards in the vicinity of the label
applicator is essential to the safe operation of the SLPA. Due to the
variety of potential assembly line setups, Printronix cannot provide
sufficient guarding in a standard package. The addition of such guards
is the responsibility of the buyer.
WARNING
The SLPA should be powered off during any operation in which a
worker may be exposed to a hazardous zone. If it is necessary that the
SLPA remain powered on, make certain that the Pause button is pressed
and the product sensor is disconnected.
