SUBJECT: ULTIMA-65 TURNING OFF WHILE RUNNING
When you encounter an Ultima-65 turning off while running, here are some things that you should know:
• The Laminator must be plugged into a dedicated grounded outlet. Do not connect other
equipment to the same circuit.
• Overloading the motor will cause the Transformer's TCO to blow. The Transformer does not
have a resettable thermal cut off (TCO), so you will have to replace the Transformer.
• There is a resettable fusible link on the Main P.C. Board that replaced the original 3-amp fuse.
When the Main P.C. Board gets overloaded (hot), the machine will turn off. Once it cools down,
you can start running the machine again.
There are a number of variables that will cause the machine to turn off while running; here is what to
check for:
• The 15 Amp Circuit Breaker may have tripped. If you have to reset the Circuit Breaker several
times in a short period of time, the Breaker may have become weak and must be replaced with
part number 704091031.
• Check Safety Shield and Feed Table Tray Interlock switches and connections.
• Make sure product thickness does not exceed the maximum of 1/16" (1.59mm).
• Too much Brake Tension on Film Shafts. As recommended, use the minimum amount of tension
to eliminate wrinkles in the finished item.
• Check for proper pressure/tension between upper and lower Heat Tubes (Rollers) and upper and
lower Pull Rollers. The pressure applied should be enough to enable the rollers to pull the film
and product being laminated through, however, it should not be so great that it causes marks on
the film or product.
• Motor/Sprocket Chain is too tight. Chain must have some play/slack in it.
