POWER UNWINDING:
1. Place the "DIRECTION" Switch on the UCAT-40 Control Panel in the centre "OFF"
position.
2. Slide the roll of labels to be unwound on the Quick-Chuck.
3. Run the labels under the UCAT-40 Control Arm and into the printer.
4. Place the "DIRECTION" switch in the desired position to feed the labels into your
printer.
5. Place the "REWIND
–SLIT" Switch in the Rewind position and advance the
"TORQUE" Control about 1/3 rotation from fully Counter-Clockwise as an initial
setting.
6. Start your printer and observe how the labels are being fed into the printer.
Adjust the "TORQUE" Control as needed to provide more or less unwind assistance. As
the printer uses the labels, the Control Arm will rise, causing the UCAT-40 to turn on and
feed more labels. As the UCAT-40 feeds more labels, the labels and the Control Arm will
drop down, turning off the UCAT-40 until more labels are needed as the Control Arm is
lifted again.
EXTERNAL HALT CONTROL:
An External Halt Control jack on the UCAT-3 is for use with external devices capable of
providing an open circuit halt command. A 3.5mm control cable is necessary for use (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 UCAT-3 will operate. When the External Circuit is opened,
the UCAT-3 will stop.
