Operation of the device
8.1
General information
Hint
: position the front edge of the label near the peeling edge. In case of applying 2 labels to each product
this must be the longest label of the two.
At first start-up the display will show the following screen:
You now select the language, the application mode (one or two labels), and you enter the label settings
according to the instructions in chapter 8.
The AP16-F automatically stores the settings you have applied in so-
called “programs”. When you
start the
AP16-F again, the display will automatically show the last
“
program
”
you have used.
Apart from creating programs in the menu, you will calibrate the ultrasonic sensor for each new label material
which you will use.
-calibrate the sensor according to parapgraph 8.2.
-for label and product settings in 1-label mode: see paragraph 8.3.
-for label and product settings in 2-label mode: see paragraph 8.4.

Sensor calibration
Gap sensor values:
Picture 4.0
First place the sensor over the gap as shown in
picture 4.0. Make sure that
line “B” is in the middle of
the gap and that line “A” crosses the narrowest gap
section. Also ensure that no label cut outs, other than
the gaps, will interfere with line “A” during operation.
Do not move the labels or sensor during calibration.
Press and hold the “TEACH” button for >3 seconds.
The LED “T” will shine, which indicates the sensor is in
calibration mode. Once you release the key, LED “T”
will start blinking. The sensor is now teaching itself the
gap value. The LED-bar will indicate the signal
strength. After the process is completed, LED “T” will
go off.
In case the signal strength is insufficient the LED-bar
will start blinking. Repeat the procedure in that case.
You may need to restart the device.
