Before a Falcon 40 Laminator can be installed there are 
a few requirements that must be met. Make certain that 
each of the requirements listed in the following prein-
stallation checklist are met before beginning installa-
tion.

  CAUTION

3UHLQVWDOODWLRQ &KHFNOLVW

Are doorways and hallways wide enough for the 
laminator to be moved to the installation site?

Is there ample room for the laminator?
A work area must be established that allows for 
operation in both the front and the rear of the 
machine and provides space for efficient material 
flow. Figure 2-1 shows a typical machine area lay-
out.

Is the environment appropriate for the laminator?
The laminator requires a clean, dust and vapor free 
environment to operate properly. It must not be 
located where there is air blowing directly on the 
machine.

 

  WARNING

  CAUTION

Is there an appropriate power outlet available or 
has a certified electrician been contacted to wire 
the laminator directly?
The laminator requires 30A single phase service 
and a power receptacle that accepts a 30A 250V 
NEMA L6-30P plug or, in Europe, 3 phase, 240/
400 VAC with 20A per phase. See Figure 2-6 for 
power cord connection options.

 

  CAUTION

 

Failure to follow the preinstallation checklist can 

result in damage to the laminator.

The operating environment must be free of dust, 

flammable liquids and vapors. You can be  

injured by inhaling chemical vapors. Vapor build 

up or stored flammable liquids can cause a  fire. 

Excessive dust can damage the laminator.

Do not locate the laminator where air is blowing 

directly on the machine. The air flow can cool  

the rolls unevenly and result in poor quality 

output.

Position the jumpers as shown in Figure 2-6 for 

service choice.
