APPLICATIONS

The VIPColor VP485 Unwinder is used to unwind labels onto a 3” core holder. The unwinder can 

handle labels up to 220mm (8.6”) wide and unwind rolls with external diameter up to 250mm (10”).

POWER SUPPLY

An external power supply 100/240VAC - 2.5A at 24V     allows an electronic circuit to provide, 

through the tension arm, the speed and sense of rotation auto adjustment. 

FUNCTIONING

The printer must be put onto the unwinder’s printer plate, in this way the correct unwinding 

operations are guaranteed and also the device is fastened to the printer.

The unwinder has two types of speed adjustments, through the two buttons it is possible to set 

the maximum speed required while the tension arm will auto adjust the speed from zero to the 

set value and the sense of rotation.

WORKING CONDITIONS

- When the printer forwards the media for printing, the tension arm goes up, the device unwinds 

the media. 

Yellow or green led on depending on the selected rewinding mode (face-in or face-out).

- When the tension arm is in the middle position, the device is idle. 

Both yellow and green leds on.

- When the printer backwards the media, the tension arm goes down, the device rewinds it. 

Yellow or green led on depending on the selected rewinding mode (face-in or face-out).

When the unit is operating but the media is not loaded or it runs out, the tension arm reaches 

the lowest position and after few seconds the unit will stop by itself, both leds blink and it beeps.
