independently in a setup mode.
Ready/Waiting LED displays Ready when the heater bar temperature is in the range of acceptance.
Waiting flashes when the machine is not at temperature. Waiting pauses the operation unless in the setup
mode.

3.7 Settings Screen

Settings Screen provides access to the basic
machine settings. Bag size, thickness and product
characteristics affect settings required for the
proper operation of the machine. See Figure 3-4.
All settings will be entered numerically on a
keypad. To adjust any value, press the green button
of the setting which you would like to change, then
enter the value on the number keypad followed by
the <Enter> button.
The Settings Menu is where most entries and
machine operation settings will occur to setup a

new bag size or to run a new product.

3.8 Fill Time

The <Fill Time> button functions differently dependent upon the MODE in which the T-1000 is
operating: MANUAL, AUTOMATIC (<AUTO>) mode or AUXILIARY mode.
In the Manual mode with NO accumulating funnel, Fill Time will delay the operation from starting until
this time has passed. When equipped with an accumulating funnel, Fill Time will affect the delay time
before sealing, after the accumulating funnel door has closed.
In the AUTO cycle mode with no auxiliary in-feed equipment, Fill Time affects the paced rate operation.
The bagger will automatically cycle with the Fill Time delaying the seal bar after the bag has been blown
open. In the AUTO mode a footswitch is not required.
CAUTION: To avoid physical harm, DO NOT cycle the equipment in the AUTO mode if the funnel,
guards or covers are removed. Since the seal bar actuates automatically, operators must keep fingers,
hands and other parts of the body away from the sealing mechanism and all other moving parts.
AUXILIARY cycle mode, FILL TIME displays the time which a product, automatically filled by
auxiliary equipment, has to be completely settled in the bag before the seal bar is actuated.
Typical setting for manual loading with a footswitch is 0.0 seconds. Typical setting for auxiliary
equipment / automatic loading is 0.5 seconds. The lower the setting, the faster the operation. However,
too low of a setting could cause the seal bar to contact the product, possibly damaging the product or seal
components.

3.9 Air Pulse

The amount of time that a burst of air will initially blow the bag open. Wider bags and heavier gauge
bags require a longer burst of air. Additionally, to increase the volume of air from the air pulse tubes, turn
the Air Pulse valve counter-clockwise. Flow control valves are located on the right lower side of the seal
frame assembly to increase or decrease air through the air pulse tube or blower.
