Introduction
The Tanco Autowrap Bale Wrap Controller enables the operator to monitor and control the operation of the
bale wrapper at any stage of the wrapping cycle. The controller is designed for models : 1300EH, 1510EH,
1510T, 1514S, and 1514T rotating-arm type wrappers.
There are 2 operating modes – Automatic and Manual. The automatic mode permits ‘one-touch wrapping’
to ease the workload on the operator. The controller is fully programmable to optimise wrapping
performance. Bale counts are automatically logged in any one of 10 selectable memory stores, in addition
to a grand total memory store.
