STEP 1: INSTALL THE TAKE-UP SHAFT
• Mount the 400-mm (16”) diameter Flange Plate onto the “Quick-Chuck” Core Holder using the screws provided.
• Slide the “Quick-Chuck” and Flange Assembly onto the CAT-40G Motor Shaft allowing for clearance to the Chassis and
Motor Screws. Tighten the Allen screw to secure the “Quick-Chuck” and Flange Assembly onto the flat part of the Motor
Shaft
• Set the CAT-40G in place near the label exit slot of the printer.
CAUTION: AVOID ACCIDENTS. THE CAT-40G WEIGHS APPROXIMATELY 14KG, SO CHOOSE ONLY A STURDY SURFACE
ON WHICH TO SET THE UNIT.
• The CAT-40G is bi-directional. It can rewind labels in either direction.
• Verify that the “DIRECTION” Switch on the CAT-40G Control Panel is in the “OFF” position.
• Plug the power cord into an appropriate AC power outlet. The unit is now ready for use.
POWER REWINDING ON A CARDBOARD CORE
• Place the “DIRECTION” Switch on the CAT-40G Control Panel in the centre “OFF” position.
• Slide an empty label core onto the CAT-40G “Quick-Chuck”.
• Feed the label web from the printer under the Sensor Arm (TA only) and onto the rewind core, and secure it with a piece
of tape.
• Place the “DIRECTION” switch in the desired position to rewind the labels.
• Advance the “TORQUE” Control about 1/3-rotation from fully counter-clockwise as an initial setting.
• Start your printer and observe how the labels are being rewound.
•
Adjust the “TORQUE” Control as needed to provide more or less rewind force. The CAT-40G’s amplified-torque motor
will provide a nearly constant rewind speed as the roll diameter grows. If necessary, adjust the rewind TORQUE setting.
•
EXTERNAL HALT CONTROL (FIG.2) :
• An External Halt Control jack on the CAT-40G is for use with external devices capable of providing an open circuit halt
command using a 3.5mm control cable (not included).
• With Pin 2 and Pin 3 of the External Halt Control circuit closed (connected together using a 3.5mm dual circuit plug), the
CAT-40G will operate. When the External Circuit is opened, the CAT-40G will stop.
• 3.5mm “EXTERNAL HALT CONTROL” Stereo Plug (Dual Circuit Plug)
• Contact CLOSED=RUN
• Contact OPEN=HALT
• Pin 1 - No connection (NOT USED)
• Pin 2 - Normally Closed (NC) contact
• Pin 3 - Normally Closed (NC) contact return
