The RSA2024-WAT-EU Case Sealer has three operating modes. The operator selects these modes, using the
2-position switch and push button on the Control Box (refer to Figure 5-6).
When the case sealer is turned on, the top tape head box will rise to the uppermost position and side belt drives
will come out to their outermost position. These positions are referred to as their “home” positions.

5.3.1 Auto Mode
This is the standard operating mode of the machine. In this mode, the Top Tape Head Box will rise to upper
“home” position and the side belt drives will travel to “home” position until case arrives. When a case is being
processed, the top tape head box will match case size; side belt drives will move in towards the box and carry case
through the exit of the machine.

2. Turn the Manual/Auto selector switch on the control box to Auto (Automatic) (refer to Figure 5-6).
3. The bridge does not rise all the way up when Auto mode starts, except if it is Bottom only. The belts will still
open up.
4. Press the Start button, the drive belts will return to “home” position.
5. Introduce a case with the flaps held in the closed position and advance to the indexing gate so the proper
sensor is activated. Do not place hands in front of case.
6. The top tape head box will descend to set itself at the height of the case.
7. When the bottom paddle is depressed and the bottom switch is covered, the side drives will close.

Once the case is processed and exits the machine, the exit sensor is cleared and the side belt drives will
return to “home” position.
