DANGER Indicates an immediate hazard for persons. DANGER Shock hazard due to high voltage at component. DANGER Hazard due to high temperature component.
The rewinding force of the rewinder as well as the braking power of the paper brake are adjustable at the traction unit from the outside. The installation of the Collamat 3600 must be done by trained personnel. For this you have to consider the national specific regulations of:...
These assemblies must be certificated by Collamat Stralfors 2.2.3 Mechanical stability If the Collamat 3600 is used on a movable stand, this stand must be capable to be tilt 10° in each direction. See also following figure 1: 10°...

3 Mechanical adjustments 3.1 Traction unit 3.1.1 Threading the labelweb Figure 3 Thread the labelweb as shown in figure 3 up to the dispensing edge and draw it out by approx. 1 m. Detach the labels from the paperweb at the drawn-out web. Then open the pinchroller by turning the knob (1), place the paperweb over the dispensing edge and finish threading the pa- perweb as shown in figure 3.
3.1.3 Readjustment of paper brake Figure 5 The braking force is factory-set to an optimum value. Should it, however, be unadjusted, read- just it with the M3-bolt (2) in the web-end controlbox of the traction unit, from the outside. Screw in bolt= higher braking force Unscrew bolt= lower braking force...
3.2 Flap adapter 3.2.1 Inclination adjustment of flap adapter Figure 7 The inclination of the flap adapter can be changed against the module rail: unscrew nut (1) with two turns (refer to figure 7), with special hexagonal spanner (included as accessory). Push adapter in the direction indicated by the arrow (2), turn to desired setting at ring (3).
Proceeding of the adjustment of the optical label scanner: Switch on the Collamat 3600. Set the label scanner potentiometer to zero. Pull the labelweb so that the gap is located below the marking 1 of the scanner. Turn the potentiometer until the red LED on the scanner goes off.
3.4 Adjustment of the mechanical label scanner The mechanical label scanner (not used on magnetic flap adapter) is an alternative to the opti- cal label scanner and is mainly used for transparent labels. 1. Scanner support 2. Scanning head 3. Nut 2 - 6 mm Figure 10 Adjustment:...
4 Technical description 4.1 Dispenser board All the electronic devices including power transformer, except of the main switch with indicator lamp, are located on a printed board. The dimensions of the board are approximately 215 x 234 mm. Figure 11 shows the board with all the connectors and terminals. The description is divided into power supply, motordriver, controller and firmware.
These components also prevent interference caused by electrostatic discharge. The interfer- ence can lead to malfunction of the Collamat 3600. Anyway, installing the Collamat 3600 you have to consider the rules concerning RMI and ESD to prevent these interferences. See also chapter Cabling.
4.2.1 Inputs The inputs are used to connect peripheral units and sensors. The inputs are activated while they are pulled to GND (0 Volt). The peripheral units from Collamat Stralfors AG have NPN- outputs to 0 Volt. Figure 12 shows the schematic diagram of the inputs:...
4.2.3 Isolated output IFEED This output is completely isolated to the electronic circuit of the labeler. Figure 13 shows the schematic diagram of this isolated output: +5 V Umax.: 24 VDC Imax: 25 mA PC355T Figure 13: Isolated output IFEED 4.2.4 Open-Collector-output IFEED For better resistance against interferences, the Open-Collector-output IFEED is also equipped with a photocoupler.
4.3 Connection diagrams BUS X101, X102 The buscable of the peripheral units is connected to the connectors X101 or X102. The cable must be placed inside of the module rail to prevent interferences. Figure 16 shows the position of the buscable connectors on the dispenser board: X102 X101 Figure 16...
The primary side of the transformer is connected to the terminals X46 and X48. Dependent to the mains voltage the transformer is connected as shown in figure 18: 110 V 120 V 220 V 230 V 240 V 8 = grau 9 = weiss 0 = schwarz 2 = rot...
4.7 Connection of the mains output Peripheral units like the flatprinter or the adapter with magnet are connected to the mains out- put. To this terminal only units, certified by Collamat Stralfors AG, may be connected. Figure 20 shows the mains output terminal: gelb/grün...
4.9 Motor and motorcable Attention: The motor never must be dismantled ! Steppermotor heats up during operation ! When connecting or disconnecting the motor, the labeler must be switched off ! While working on the motor, the labeler must be disconnected from mains ! The motor is connected inside of the labeler.
5 Firmware 5.1 Normalmode After turning on the labeler, the DIL-switches are scanned to figure out the working mode. The dispensing of a label is triggered by the negative edge of GSC1 (Goods scanner input). READY must not be active (12 Volt). The stop of the labelling is triggered by the detection of the gap (LSC) and performing the remaining steps for the predispensing.
5.2 DIL-switches The dispenser board contains two DIL-switches. These switches are used to select different operating modes. The following table and figure 24 show the functions and the positions of the DIL-switches: Switch Function TEST Labelingmode/ Testmode Labelingmode Testmode Turning direction of the motor Right Left T E S T...
1.6AT 5*20mm 74031135 To exchange the fuses, the cover of the Collamat 3600 must be removed. If the fuse of the main voltage is blown, the indicator lamp of the power switch is not illuminated when the Collamat 3600 is switched on.

The transmitter (2 pole cable) and receiver (3 pole cable) of the optical label scanner can di- rectly be connected to the dispenser C3600, to the flap adapter or to the flatprinter respec- tively. In this case, the connection to the Collamat 3600 is made by the 14 pole flatcable. Page 29 / 47...
SPEED potentiometer. If there are any labels threaded through the Collamat 3600, the labels will be dispensed periodically. In the testmode, the Collamat 3600 can be controlled by an ASCII-terminal or a PC with a ter- minal emulation software. The communication with the Collamat will be done through the con- nector X104 using the RS232 protocol.
10.1 Test software When the Collamat 3600 is connected to the terminal, it must be switched on. At this moment the DIL-switch TEST must be set to on. The traction unit begins to turn with the speed set on the SPEED potentiometer. The terminal shows the following message: COLLAMAT 3600 V1.01...
