• The device applicator mounted on a cab printer of the Hermes+ series is intended exclusively for applying suitable materials that have been approved by the manufacturer. Any other use or use going beyond this shall be regarded as improper use.
Introduction • Before mounting the delivered components disconnect the printer from the power supply and close the shutoff valve of the applicator. • Only connect the device to other devices which have a protective low voltage. • Switch off all affected devices (computer, printer, accessories) before connecting or disconnecting. •...
Product Description Important Features • The supporting air and the vacuum as well as the speed of the cylinder are adjustable. That way the applicator can be adapted to different label materials and sizes. • To avoid contamination within the vacuum channels they are cleaned by air pressure impulse at the end of each application.

Operation Fig. 7 Mounting the applicator to the printer Attention! Disconnect the printer from the power supply before mounting the applicator! Ensure a stable positioning of the printer! Connect the compressed air only after mounting the applicator to the printer! To clean the applicator and printer it is sometimes necessary to turn away or even dismount the applicator from the printer.
Operation Movement of the Pad The applicator 4214 has different takeover modes. The position of the pad is also adjustable. The base position of the pad will be described in „7.1 Pad Adjustments“. The kind of takeover mode is dependant on the label size and material.
Error Messages Error Messages of the Printer For detailed information about printer errors (e.g. 'Paper out', 'Ribbon out', etc.) Check the operator's manual of the printer. Error treatment: Clearing the error results. Press the feed key to synchronize the label feed, remove the left over labels manually. ...

Installation Mounting the Applicator Attention! Disconnect the printer from the power supply before mounting the applicator! Ensure the printer is standing in a stable position! Connect the compressed air only after mounting the applicator to the printer! 1.
Installation Mounting the Pad 1. Move the pad (6) with the cut-outs (8) along the guiding rail (5) to the bottom side of the pad holder (3). 2. Fix the pad with the screws (7) to the pad holder (3). 3.
4. Switch on the printer via the power switch. It is possible to use an air pressure regulation unit. cab offers two versions of air pressure regulators. • Air pressure regulation unit with included magnetic valve (3) Controlling via printer ...
Adjustments Pad Adjustments For optimal functionality it is necessary to place the pad exactly over the label for the takeover procedure. Moving the Pad in X-, Y- and Z-Directions 1 mm Fig. 15 Moving the pad assembly Adjustment in the X-direction - Sideways Adjustment 1.
Adjustments Vacuum Adjustments The label will be held on the pad by a vacuum. The vacuum needs to be set up in such a way that the label covers all the suction holes and is not hindered before it reaches its intended position on the pad. The default Value of the Vacuum is -0.6 bar.
Adjustments Adjusting the Blow Tube (Supporting Air) The blow tube must be adjusted in such a way that the label takeover is unhindered by turbulence and the supporting air blows the label evenly against the pad. The default factory value is 2 bar. Note! When changing the label size (2", 4"...

Adjustments Fig. 20 Throttle valve "support air" The strength of the supporting air can be varied via the provided throttle valve (1). To increase the strength of the supporting air turn the throttle valve (1) counterclockwise. Measuring Point Support Air (MP S) Use a manometer with a measuring range of -7 to 7 bar to measure the pressure.
Adjustments Adjustment of the Stopper for Blow Mode Note! For operation mode "Blow on" only! The operation mode "Blow on" allows labelling without contact. The pad does not press on the product. The label will be blown from the pad onto the product over a distance of up to 10 mm.
Adjustments Lift Speed of Cylinder Z Fig. 23 Throttle valves on the cylinder Z The speed of the pad movement can be regulated by two throttle valves (1, 3). Adjust the pad movement speed as necessary. To increase the downward speed turn screw (4) at the lower valve (3) counterclockwise. ...

Adjustments End Position Cushioning Note! The end position cushioning of the cylinder is set up to client specifications and does usually not need to be adjusted. The end position cushioning of the main cylinder reduces the impact energy when the applicator is operating at high speeds and/or masses. Adjust the end position cushioning so that the piston arrives the end position definitively but does not strike it to hard. A higher level of end position cushioning will reduce the lift speed.

Adjustments 7.12 Labeling from Below - Changing the Spring of the Impact Sensor For fault free labeling in a side- or upward-motion it is necessary to change the spring of the impact sensor. The stronger spring prevents the unwanted triggering of the impact sensor due to the inertia of the cylinder and stamp assembly group.
Configuration The applicator can be operated in different ways. While the original process stays the same, the operation mode can be chosen from the printer setup. The most important setting is the selection between the operation modes "Stamp on" and "Blow on". Additionally the applicator has different application modes concerning the order of printing and applying within one labelling cycle.
Configuration Configuration Parameters of the Applicator The configuration parameters of the applicator can be found in the menu Setup > Machine param. Parameter Meaning Default Configuration parameters of the applicator Applicator > Mode of Setting the operation mode Stamp on, Roll on, Blow on Stamp oper. > Mode of Setting the application mode Print-Apply / Apply-Print Print- appl.
Configuration Setting the Peel Position To optimize the transfer of the labels from the printer to the pad there two different parameters are available for adjusting the peel position. Attention! First adjust the parameter "Peel Position" in the printer configuration. Following adjust the additional peel-off offset in the software. It is very important to follow that procedure for a certain start after label loading and for the re-start after error treatment.
Operation Test Mode without a Print Job Warning! The pad will be moved to the starting position immediately! Danger of injury to hands and fingers by the moving pad! Do not reach into the zone of the moving pad and keep long hair, loose clothes, and jewelry away. Fig. 36 Test mode with enter button Note! ...
