LOW
When lit, this Light Emitting Diode (LED) indicates
that the amount of distilled water in the humidifier
bottle is running low and needs to be replenished.
HUMIDITY VOLUME
The position of this setting knob controls the amount
of time the humidifier is ON during a 60-second
period.
During the STOP and IDLE Modes, the humidifier
runs for the number of seconds that the knob is set to.
For example, if the humidity volume setting is set on
10, the humidifier will run for 10 seconds and cycle off
for 50 seconds to complete the 60-second cycle.
During the RUN Mode, humidifier runs for 2 times
the number the knob is on. For example, if the
humidity volume setting is set on 10, the humidifier
will run for 20 seconds and cycle off for 40 seconds to
complete the 60-second cycle.
NOTE: When the humidifier is in operation, the
humidity volume LED will be lit.
RUN/IDLE/STOP
When pressed, the selected mode is enabled, and the
previously set mode is disabled. These touch switches
are used to select the mode of transport powered by
the feed motor. The three selectable modes are the
RUN, IDLE, and STOP Modes. A lit LED in the two
o’clock position from the mode selection switch
indicates the selected mode.
RUN Mode
In RUN Mode, the motor, fans and heaters are ON.
IDLE Mode
In IDLE Mode the motor is ON, while the heaters
and fan are both OFF.
STOP Mode
In STOP Mode, the motor, heaters and fans are OFF.
NOTE: The humidifier operates in all three
modes.
ROTATE SHUTTER
The shutter is located at the exit point of the lacquer
container. The purpose of the shutter is to maintain
the humidity level within the lacquer container. When
blinking, the rotate shutter LED indicates that the
shutter is not in the correct position and needs to be
manually rotated (see the “Shutter Control Lever”
section).
Normally, whenever the laminator is in either STOP
or IDLE modes, the shutter should be closed.
Whenever the laminator is set to RUN mode, the
shutter must be open.
If the shutter is open when in STOP or IDLE Mode,
the LED will blink to indicate the shutter needs to be
closed.
If the shutter is closed and then the RUN mode is
selected, the machine will not be allowed to enter
RUN mode.
