Insert Funnel; Diverting Funnel; Palm Buttons - Advanced Poly-Packaging T-1000 Operation Manual

To count the product when it first enters the detection field, choose the LEADING EDGE
option. To count the product when it exits the detection field, choose the TRAILING EDGE
option. The LEADING EDGE setting is typically used for shorter components in an automatic
operation whereas the TRAILING EDGE setting is used for components that are longer or that
vary in length. Press <EXIT> to return to the Options Menu.

3.22 Insert Funnel

The Insert Funnel option (IF-10) is used for flowing products
whereas the product may contaminate the sealing area or
when air flow to bag must be turned off during bag filling.
The funnel enters the bag and remains in the bag until
signaled with a foot switch or automatically by a filler.
To turn the Insert Funnel ON, press the toggle button. To
disable the air, press the Air Delay, type in the amount of
time the funnel is filling up the bag before the air should shut
off. Fig. 3-25.

3.23 Diverting Funnel

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. Then set the value of bags (Part
Count) that will be in each batch quantity. A delay time is
also provided to allow the last bag in the count to clear the
diverter before it cycles. To adjust the delay time, press
the <Flip Delay> button, enter the value in the keypad and
press <Enter>. Fig. 3-23.

3.24 Palm Buttons

The Palm Buttons option (Dual Palm Buttons) is not
included in the standard T-1000 package and must be
purchased separately. This option is used as a safety device to avoid personal injury by ensuring
that fingers or hands are not in the seal area during the cycle operation of the T-1000.
Caution: To avoid personal injury, do not operate the T-1000 when funnels, guards or covers
are removed. Advanced Poly-Packaging, Inc. recommends either the Palm Button or Light
Screen options to safeguard operators.
The Palm Button option operates in lieu of a foot switch. Two buttons, positioned on opposite
(left and right) sides on the top of the T-1000 covers, must be pressed or touched simultaneously
to cycle the bagger. If both buttons are not pressed at the same time, or if one of the buttons are
held while the other button is pressed, the T-1000 will not cycle. As an additional safety
function, the Automatic cycle mode is disabled when the Palm Button option is turned ON. The
foot switch input is also disabled when the Palm Button option is turned ON. To turn ON this
option, press the <Palm Button> menu option and press the toggle ON button.
