AUTO-RUN / FOOTSWITCH OPERATION
AUTO-RUN OPERATION
The continuous-run operation allows the user to set the
direction of the roller rotation and adjust the roller speed
by turning the Speed Control knob on the top of the left
side cabinet.
This feature is useful for long runs that don’t require much
user control, and when used with the rear wind-up shafts
can be efficient in an auto-run mode.
1. Press the motor direction switch for the processing
direction desired.
2. Turn the speed control knob on the Motor Control
Panel to adjust the speed of the rollers (refer to the
Top Motor Control Panel page).
NOTE: If the photoelectric eyes become blocked
during continuous-run operation, the roller
rotation will stop immediately. (On
Domestic laminators only). After clearing
the photo-eye blockage, the motor will
restart in slow-mode. Otherwise, the
blinking directional switch will have to be
pressed again to resume the pre-set speed.
NOTE: Be very careful not to stop the motor or
block the photo eyes while an image is
being laminated, as this can cause marks in
the output.
FOOTSWITCH OPERATION
The function of the footswitch is to permit the rotation of
the rollers to be controlled in a hands-free manner.
This feature can be used when webbing materials onto the
laminator or feeding delicate images and overrides the
photoelectric safety eyes.
1. Pressing the footswitch runs the laminator in the
direction that was pressed last (the active directional
switch will be illuminated).
2. The rollers will run at the speed last set which is
indicated in the top display on the front control panel.
3. The speed can be adjusted when using the footswitch
by turning the speed control knob on the top of the
cabinet.
WARNING: While using the footswitch,
interrupting the photoelectric safety
eyes does NOT stop the laminator. An
audible beep will be heard, the motor
directional switch will be blinking and
the roller speed will run in ‘slow mode’
at a speed of 2ft/min (0.6 m/min.).
Releasing the foot switch will stop the
laminator, unless the machine is in
auto-run mode.
4. After clearing the photoelectric eye blockage the
buzzer will stop.
5. To resume the pre-set speed, press the blinking
directional switch.
CHANGING FROM FOOTSWITCH OPERATION
TO AUTO-RUN MODE WITHOUT STOPPING
(This prevents stop marks on the substrate):
During footswitch operation (keep the foot switch
pressed), then press the Motor Direction switch desired on
the Motor Control panel. The laminator will run at the pre-
set speed. Next, release the foot switch.
NOTE: Do not stop the motor or block the photo
eyes while an image is being laminated as
this can cause marks in the output.
Rotation of the rollers stops when:
1. The photoelectric eyes in the front or back of the
rollers are interrupted.
CAUTION: This does NOT happen when the foot
switch is pressed.
2. An emergency stop button is pressed.
3. The stop button on the motor control panel is pressed
and the operator is not using the footswitch.
