Alarm messages

If calibration cannot be carried out, the temperature control system must be checked for errors, e.g. de-
fective contacts, cable, controller, sealing wires, Teflon coating, etc.. Please contact the VC999 Cus-
tomer Service Department.

9.8.1.2 Burn-in sealing bars

NOTICE

Only use sealing wires and sealing bars specified by the manufacturer and stated in the spare
parts list!

NOTICE

If sealing bars with new sealing wires have been installed in the machine, the following proc-
esses have to be carried out one after the other:

Calibration sealing bars – Burn-in sealing bars – Allow sealing bars to cool down – Calibration
sealing bars.

If sealing bars with previously burnt-in sealing wires are installed in the machine, only

Calibration

seal-

ing bars

has to be carried out.

Burn-in sealing bar

1.

Determine the burn-in sealing bars in Mask 102: Parameter 2/2 under the parameter "Sealing".

2.

Press the function button

Burn-in sealing bars

in Mask 152: Calibration sealing bars. The button

changes to

Burn-in is active

.

The sealing bars are heated up to 250 °C for 1 second. When a sealing bar is heated up for the first
time its material resistance changes; this is also referred to as the burn-in effect.

Burn-in has been completed when the button changes back to

Burn-in sealing bars

.

NOTICE

Sealing bars must be calibrated after the burn-in process! This procedure is described in

Mask

152: Calibration sealing bars

.
