TRIGGER DIST – TRIGGER DISTANCE
TRIGGER DISTANCE is used in conjunction with the encoder feature ONLY. Trigger distance is similar to product
delay in that it is used to electronically move the placement of the label on the product. When the encoder feature
is used, the product delay feature is rendered inactive. Trigger distance will move the label placement in inches
(00.00).
1. Set basic applicator up first, refer to quick setup
2. Ensure that the applicator is operating properly before starting this procedure.
3. This feature requires the use of an encoder. The appropriate encoder features should be setup prior to this
feature.
4. Set ENCODER to “ON”.
5. Set ENODER LINES “XXXX.X” Refer to CALCULATING ENCODER LINES PER INCH section.
6. Set TRIGGER DIST to 00.00
7. Start system and apply label at the desired speed.
8. Check the placement of the label on the product.
9. Measure the OFFSET of the label placement. Note: A label CAN NOT be advanced on the product ONLY
moved “back” since the applicator can only delay the product signal.
10. Apply the measured offset to the TRIGGER DISTANCE or if too great it may be necessary to physically move
the product switch. Keep trigger distances to a minimum for best results.
11. Operate system again and measure offset.
12. Enter the measured offset, IF ANY, into the TRIGGER DISTANCE.
13. Test again, repeat if necessary until label is in proper registration.
14. Turn back on any options that may have been disabled for setup of this particular feature.

PRODUCT DELAY
PRODUCT DELAY is NOT used in conjunction with the encoder feature. Product delay is similar to trigger
distance in that it is used to electronically move the placement of the label on the product. Product delay will move
the label placement in time (00.000). Because the product delay feature utilizes time, the speed of the product
MUST be constant and consistent.
1. Set basic applicator up first, refer to quick setup
2. Ensure that applicator is operating properly before starting this procedure.
3. This feature requires the use of an encoder. The appropriate encoder features should be setup prior to this
feature.
4. Set ENCODER to “OFF”.
5. Set CONVEYOR LOCK to “OFF” if in ASYNCHRONOUS operation.
6. If in SYNCHRONOUS operation PRODUCT DELAY WILL NOT WORK
7. Set Product delay to 00.000
8. Start system and apply label at the desired speed.
9. Check the placement of the label on the product.
10. Measure the OFFSET of the label placement. Note: A label CAN NOT be advanced on the product ONLY
moved “back” since the applicator can only delay the product signal.
11. Apply a small delay to the product delay or if too great, it may be necessary to physically move the product
switch. Keep product delays to a minimum for best results.
12. Operate system again and measure offset.
13. Apply a small delay to the product delay or reduce if too much.
14. Test again, repeat if necessary until label is in proper registration.
15. Turn back on any options that may have been disabled for setup of this particular feature
