2.3 INSTALLATION 

 

 
Prior  to  starting  Installation  it  is  important  to  fully  understand  the  following 
instructions. Unpack the machine very carefully to avoid damage and make sure that 
all small items and boxes are retained before discarding the packaging. Screw in the 
four  adjustable  feet  (or  castors),  move  the  machine  into  position,  set  the  conveyor 
height and level machine by adjusting the feet. 
 
The  Operator  Panel  has  been  lowered  to  approximately  guard  level  for  transport 
purposes  as  shown  in  photo  below.  This  needs  to  be  raised  to  a  suitable  height  for 
operation. Ensure that one person supports the box before another person releases the 
clamp to raise the box.  
 

 

Operator panel lowered for shipment 
 
Reassemble  the  coder  (if  fitted)  to  the  machine  and  connect  the  pneumatic  and 
electrical services. The coder is usually secured onto the label arm mounting bracket 
with 4 off M6 socket head screws. 
 
Check that  your electrical supply details correspond with those on the machine plate 
and machine electrical drawings. Ensure that a suitably qualified person connects the 
supply  to  the  isolator.  If  your  supply  uses  an  earth  leakage  circuit  breaker  (ELCB)  / 
residual current device (RCD) it is recommended to be 100mA minimum trip rating.   
 
The  machine  is  supplied  with  all  guards  necessary  for  safe  operation.  If  any 
modifications are made for any reason, care should be taken to ensure that the overall 
safety is not impaired.
