1.6 Using this Manual - Typographical Conventions The following manual conventions are frequently used to assist in understanding important information, alerting the operator of potentially dangerous or damaging practices, and the normal functions of the T-1000 Advanced Poly-Bagger text Normal text <ENTER>...
2.1 Installation Procedures The T-1000 is transported as a single unit in a custom crate designed to protect the machine during shipment. It is shipped completely assembled except for a few items which are easily attached during installation with final adjustment for proper placement of touch screen, dancer assembly, foot switch, funnel and guards.
Dancer Assembly : The dancer assembly, located on the stand at the rear of the T-1000, is secured with tape strapping during shipment. After the removal of the strapping, the dancer should be checked to make sure that it will rotate freely in a semicircular path.
VAC and properly grounded before hooking up the power. The air supply should be fed to the T-1000 with 3/8 ID flexible tubing; this tubing affixes to the coupler adapter (quick disconnect not provided). Connect the air to the regulator by holding the regulator firmly in one hand and pushing the air line connector on the male regulator connector.
Note: If bags were delivered with the T-1000 or the size of the bags were known to APPI, the T-1000 may be ready to run. Therefore, few changes to BAG SET UP may be required.

APPI for pass codes. Options which have been purchased separately must be installed by APPI or by qualified maintenance personnel. The following sections describe how to setup optional equipment on the T-1000. If your T-1000 is not equipped with these options, please disregard these sections.
3.18 Accumulating Funnel The Accumulating Funnel Option is not included in the standard T-1000 package and must be purchased separately. This special purpose funnel has several functions: 1) to collect (accumulate) a product before dropping the full contents of the Accumulator into the bag, 2) to...
3.20 Inline Printer A Printer option is not included in the standard T-1000 package and must be purchased separately. Used for product identification, a Printer option prints information, graphic images or bar codes directly to the surface of the film.
The Diverting Funnel option (DF-10) is used to signal a diverting mechanism, located either beneath the seal bar of the T-1000 or at the end of a conveyor, to direct product one way or another (or into Box A or Box B) To turn the option ON, press the toggle button.
A minimum ON timer is provided so that false signals do not cycle the bagger when the Auto Cycle option is turned ON. Additionally, a Load Time delay is provided which delays the T-1000 from cycling immediately after the light curtain field obstruction is removed. See Fig. 3-26 3.26 Trim Seal...
ON the ON/OFF button. Use the <Setup> button to make it easier to mechanically adjust the fingers along the front plate slots on the T-1000. See Fig. 3-24. Once the mechanical adjustment is complete, press <ON> and <AUTO> for normal operation of the flat seal assembly.
"talk" to each other is essential to a fully automatic packaging system. Rarely will reprogramming be necessary to interface auxiliary (infeed) equipment. Additional cabling, however will be required which will transfer the signals between the T-1000 and your existing equipment. Three auxiliary signals are provided with the T-1000 so that no additional modifications or wiring is required for the integration.
The T-1000 is able to store 32 machine settings, called jobs, including BAG SETTINGS, OPTIONS SETTINGS and AUXILIARY SETTINGS. Each time a setting is changed on the T-1000, the settings are immediately saved in memory so that if power is lost, the T-1000 will power on with the job that was running before power was lost.
Outputs and Inputs. PLC I/O screen(s) are also used to assist APPI Service Technicians, working with your Maintenance Personnel to troubleshoot the T-1000 in the field. See Fig. 3-15. To determine the function of each Input / Output, press the LED to display a brief description.
LED to display an information screen describing the function. See Fig. 3-16. 3.38 UF-5000 Operation Screen The T-1000 is programmed to also control the UF-5000 Infeed Conveyor if equipped with the Expansion PLC Card. This screen allows the operator to setup the conveyor to run standalone, with the T-1000 or with parts counters.
Press the UF-5000 Mode button to return to the UF-5000 Operation Screen. 3.40 Information Screens The T-1000 touch screen program provides for many informational screens that provides descriptions of functions or screens. See Fig. 3-19 for an example of an information screen.
3.41 Message Screens Message screens provide functional messages that describe errors or the status of equipment. Fig. 3-20 is an example of a message screen. Other message screens include: Open Frame, Printer Fault, Open Thermocouple, Job Run Error, Out of Bags, Predetermined Count Reached, Perf Sensor not Activated, Light Curtain Reset, Seal Bar not Engaging, UF-5000 Estop Engaged, UF-5000 Password not Entered.
Then "snug" the upper block bolts and recheck the alignment. Note (TIP): A light source (lamp) positioned to the rear of the T-1000 showing light in the gap of the rollers will assist in judging whether the upper and lower roller are parallel.
The roller shaft must be parallel to the upper and lower guide rollers to allow proper tracking through the center of the T-1000. If the roller shaft is not parallel, the web of bags may track to the left or right.
NOTE: If bags have an air relief hole or hanger hole, shift the bag to the right or left of center to avoid having the hole pass directly under the perf sensor. NOTE: Use the web guides for minor adjustments only. Major adjustment of the guides requires relocation of the bag roll on the bag roll shaft.
Note: Pressure bar adjustment should only be necessary after rod or bushing replacement. 4.10 Drive Belt Tension Adjustment The T-1000 has two belts, one of which will periodically require adjustment. The drive belts (Fig. 4-18) will require adjustment if it becomes loose during normal operation.
To avoid personal injury, do not place fingers or hands into the seal area of the T-1000 while power is ON or air is attached. Do not test the anti-jam device with hands or fingers. Ensure the poly tube which is used for testing is long enough to keep fingers or hands away from the seal area of the T-1000.
Screen Front Cabinet, beneath the Touch Screen (if installed on the T-1000). Press the <START> key if the T-1000 is in the Stop mode. If "Y0" illuminates in long pulses without increasing the Temperature on the Bag Setup Screen (page 32, Fig. 3-3) proceed to step two. 2) Check the heater fuse (F5), on the Interface Board (Fig.
