4.4.9 Product length (PRDL)

A start signal can be prematurely triggered by the

shape of the product or reflective surfaces. In such a

case, the product length must be manually set.

Example [67]:

If the product [D] reaches the product sensor [C], a

start signal is sent and the machine dispenses a label.

The recesses in the product trigger additional start sig-

nals; without the PRDL function, the product would be

labelled several times. With the product length [A] set in

the PRDL function, the machine ignores all start signals

until the product has passed the dispenser head.

In the extended menu:

➔ Call up the PRDL function.

➔ Set the product length.

– Settings are possible in 1 mm steps:

Minimum: 5 mm

Maximum: 999 mm

➔ Confirm the value using the ENTER key and exit the

function.

To set the product length the same as the label dis-

tance:

➔ Set the value for PRDL to less than 5.

– The message AUTO appears on the operator panel.

– The control system automatically sets the value for

PRDL to the value of the label distance (LPIT).
