NOTE: DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD AND AIR SUPPLY FROM THE MACHINE
BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY OF THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW THIS PRECAUTION COULD RESULT IN INJURIES FROM MOVING
PARTS OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK!
MERGE NOSE ASSEMBLY REMOVAL
1) Remove the stainless steel cover on the bottom of the applicator.
2) Remove the air tubes interconnecting the two sides of the applicator.
3) Disconnect the fiber optic cables from the label sensor mounted on top of the power supply. Open the
top cover on the sensor and slide the cinching mechanism located on the right side of the sensor housing
upward. Gently remove the two fiber cables from the sensor.
4) Cut the tie wraps securing the fibers to the adhesive mounting pads and gently pull the fiber optic cable
out of the wiring clamps and through the holes in the mounting plate.
5) Remove the fiber optic mounting plate from the side of the applicator housing.
6) Rotate the first stage of the merge nose downward to gain access to the #10 mounting screws.
7) Remove the six #10 mounting screws holding the nose assembly to the housing.
MERGE NOSE ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION
1) Rotate the first stage of the merge nose downward to gain access to the #10 mounting screws.
2) Install the merge nose assembly using the six #10 mounting screws.
3) Re-position the first stage of the merge nose.
4) Make sure the label sensor is installed in the peel edge. Run the optical fibers through the two holes in
the mounting plate on the applicator housing.
5) Re-connect the fiber optic cable to the label sensor located on top of the power supply. Open the top
cover on the sensor and slide the cinching mechanism located on the right side of the sensor housing
upward. Plug the emitter fiber (from the lower fork in the label sensor) into the out going arrow
connection on the sensor housing and the detector (from the upper fork in the sensor) to the incoming
arrow connection. Slide the cinching mechanism downward and close the top cover on the sensor
housing.
6) Neatly tie wrap any excess fiber optic cable to the adhesive pads located near the fiber mounting plate.
Note: The excess fiber should be formed into a loop greater than 3” in diameter to avoid kinking
the fiber.
7) Install the air tubes interconnecting the two sides of the applicator.
8) Replace the stainless steel housing cover.
