DUAL ACTION SETUP
Pulse Length
This menu only will appear if the encoder option is on. This is where you put in how far the
product travels for every pulse of the encoder. To figure the pulse length use the following
formula:
(Distance Product Moves/Rev)/(Encoder Resolution)= Pulse Length
Example: An encoder with a 50 pulse/rev resolution has a wheel attached to it that has a 12 inch
Circumference. This assembly is then put on a conveyor top. Therefore with one
revolution of the encoder the product will travel 12 inches.
12 inches/50 pulses = 0.240 Pulse Length
Follow the direction in “Applicator Display”/ “Changing Variable Fields” section on how to
change the value.
Note: If a zero is entered for pulse length, a warning screen will appear telling the
operator “Value too Small”. Pressing “ENT” will bring the operator back to the
Pulse Length menu to put in a good number.
Encoder Rate
This screen will only appear if the encoder option is turned on. There is no variable data to
change, it is used only to determine if the pulse length is correct or to make sure the encoder is
turning the right way. To check the pulse length, you can use a tach on the conveyor and see if it
matches the encoder rate screen. If not, press ”Tamp/Home” and the pulse length menu will
come up. Increasing the pulse length will increase the encoder rate. Decreasing the pulse length
will lower the encoder rate. If the encoder rate is zero when the encoder is turning, the encoder
may be turning the wrong direction. You can physically turn the encoder around or you can
reverse the white and black wires on TB1-17 and TB1-18.
Input 6 Configuration
This allows the operator to configure input 6 as an inhibit or as an external print input. When the
input is configured as an inhibit, the applicator apply cycle will not actuate when the input is on.
When the input is configured as external print, the printer will not print a label until the input is
turned on. To turn this option on, press “ENT” and the second line should start to flash. Use the
arrow keys to toggle between "External Print” and “Inhibit”. When you get what you want, press
“ENT”. Press “MENU” to go to the next screen.
Tamp is Disabled/Enabled on Power Up
On power up, the tamp is disabled. This means the applicator will ignore the product detect
signals and the operator has to enable the tamp so the applicator will work. This option will
enable the applicator to power up ready to apply labels. To turn the option on, press “Ent” and the
first line should start to flash. Use the arrow keys to toggle between “Tamp is Disabled” and
“Tamp is Enabled”. When you get what you want, press “ENT”. Press “MENU” to go to the
next screen.
Disable Tamp on Pause
Turning this option on will cause the applicator to disable it tamp every time the printer goes into
pause. This may be helpful when using a Zebra printer. To turn the option on or off, press “ENT”
and the last word on the second line should start to flash. Use the arrow keys to toggle between
‘Off” and “On”. When you get what you want, press “ENT”. Press “MENU” to go to the next
screen.
