AUTO FLASH MODE -
(See page 43 for control instructions)
When using any print station for Auto Flash Operation, the
control panel switches for that particular print station must be
set for the “Front” stop position, and the print station stroke
switch set in the “Single” position. More than one print station
can be activated for flash mode simply by positioning the
switches as described above. Once placed in the auto flash
mode, the print stations will cycle in the auto flash mode and
remain in the auto flash mode as long as the indexer is run-
ning, either manually or in the automatic mode. When the
indexer stops and the dwell time expires, the flash will return
to a standby position (which will be away from the pallet). To
return the print stations to normal print mode, simply flip the
carriage stop toggle switch to the “Rear” stop position.
MANUAL FLASH MODE -
To flash a sample manually or test print, proceed as follows:
1. Position front-rear switch to “Rear” position on the print
station with the Omni Flash.
2. Position single-double switch to either “Single” or
“Double” position.
3. Press the green “Reset” button and the Omni Flash will
move into position over the pallet.
4. Return the single-double switch to the middle position
and the front-rear switch to the front position.
5. Press any print button to raise the carousel to print
position.
6. After flash time is completed, return the single-double
switch to single position and press the reset button to
remove the Omni Flash from over the pallet.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR OMNI/UNI FLASH INSTALLATION:
The following information describes the proper procedure
for the installation of the M&R Omni/Uni Flash cure unit on
M&R Challenger Series II textile screen printing systems.
1. After determining the location of the M&R Omni/Uni Flash
Unit, generally print station number “2” in the print
sequence, disengage the latch clamp located on the flip-up
front screen frame holder assembly (See Fig. 1).
2. After loosening the latch clamp as described in number 1
above, lift the entire front screen frame holder assembly up
into the fully raised, vertical position. The flip-up front
screen frame holder assembly should lock into the fully
raised position. (See Fig. 2 top left next page) In the event
the flip-up front screen frame holder assembly does not lock
securely into position, examine the lock assembly for prop-
er operation or contact our Equipment Service Department
at 1 (800) 483-8765 for further assistance.
NOTE: All Challenger Series II systems can be
retrofitted to accept the Omni Flash or
Quartz Flash Unit.
