FILM CARRIAGE
To run an automatic mode, switch to “Auto” and press the “Start” button. To raise or lower the film
carriage manually, switch to “Manual Up” or “Manual Down”, and press the “Start” button. To stop,
switch to “Auto”, or press the “Stop” button.
TURNTABLE SPEED
The “Turntable Speed” potentiometer dial determines the speed of the turntable in both automatic
and manual modes. Turn clockwise to increase, counter-clockwise to decrease. Adjusting this will
affect the film overlap. The maximum turntable speed is 12 rotation-per-minute (RPM).
CARRIAGE SPEED
The “Carriage Speed” potentiometer dial determines the speed of the turntable in both automatic
and manual modes. Turn clockwise to increase, counter-clockwise to decrease. Adjusting this will
affect the film overlap.
FILM FORCE
The “Film Force” potentiometer dial determines the amount of film tension applied to the load in a
wrapping cycle. Turn clockwise to increase, counter-clockwise to decrease. The best product
wrapping and proper dancer bar response is achieved when the dancer bar is set to between half
and two thirds of its full extension. This gives the proper force to load setting and allows a good
proportion of the spring return travel on the dancer bar to be used when the turntable slows down
at the end of cycle.
STOP
The “STOP” button cuts machine operation and removes power to frequency drives. In the event
this button is pressed during the course of operation, it is necessary to pull this button fully out to
reset the machine.
POWER INDICATOR LIGHT
The LED indicates that power is supplied to the machine.
WARNING
If the “STOP” button is depressed while the turntable is rotating, the
turntable will NOT stop immediately, but rather it will coast and
decelerate to a stop.
