OPERATING THE COUNTER & SETTING A PRESET COUNT
•
The counter is counting the gaps between the labels, and will increase by one for each label that passes
through the sensor.
•
To use the preset function, input the desired number of labels with the blue push buttons on the counter.
Each button increases the preset count by its respective order of magnitude.
•
When the preset number of labels is reached, the RRC
-
400 will stop as close to the desired count as possi-
ble. Pressing the white
“
COUNTER RESET
”
button to the left of the counter will start the RRC
-
400 again.
•
The motors will
“
coast
”
a little after reaching the preset count, and the counter will indicate how many
labels beyond the preset have been counted.
•
In order to precisely achieve the desired preset amount, manually rotate the unwind shaft backwards by
the amount of the overage.
NOTE: FOR BEST PRESET COUNT RESULTS, ONLY USE THE PRESET FEATURE:
(1)
IN SYNC MODE, AND
(2)
WITH THE SPEED DIAL SET AT OR BELOW 50% OF MAXIMUM SPEED (White line on the dial is in the
11:00 position, or less.)

ENCODER OPTION (RRC
-
ENC)
The Encoder Option provides the flexibility to measure the linear length of a material or numerically count
labels with inter
-
label gaps, and/or labels without gaps.
Step 1: Load Roll Onto Machine
•
Load label roll as previously outlined herein (pgs. 16
-
20) and thread the material through the Rollers in
either one of the two ways shown.
(FIG. 31 & FIG.32)
A) Measuring Linear Length
•
Flip the switch on the lower front left side of the unit to TRANSPARENT.
(FIG. 19)
•
On the Counter, press
“
SET/LOCK
”
key and
“
UP
”
(far top right key) together at the same time. SCLE ap-
pears in the display.
(FIG. 29)
•
Enter the desired SCALE FACTOR from the chart on the next page (pg. 21). The values shown are the cal-
culated Scale Factor Values for readout in various units.
•
Press the RESET key for the change to take effect.
(FIG. 29)
•
The readout will now display the length of material wound as it passes the Encoder.
