Installing The Accessories; Inner Unwind Flange; Extra (Support) Hub; Outer Unwind Media Retainer - ID Technology 252 Operator / Technical Manual

3 Installing the Accessories

Once the applicator is firmly attached to the stand, locate the accessory pack and other
optional components provided.

3.1 Inner Unwind Flange

After unwrapping the flange pack, locate the inner flange. This can be identified by the
lack of a locking instruction label on the hub. With the hub facing out, place the flange
on the unwind shaft and slide it as far as it will go towards the faceplate. The flange will
come to rest against the snap ring on the unwind shaft. Locate the tapped hole on the
outer rim of the flange and align it with the flat on the shaft. Using a 4mm hex wrench,
tighten the setscrew in this hole firmly against the flat on the unwind shaft. Note the
locking spur on the edge of the hub. The spur is designed to increase pressure on the
inside of the label roll core and prevent it from slipping on the hub. See the Loading the
Labels section for instruction on using the locking spur.
Due to vibrations in shipping, the setscrew may have moved in, out or
completely fallen out of the hub. It may be necessary to back the screw out
in order to put the hub on the shaft. If there is no screw in the hub, please
check the packaging that the flanges were in.

3.2 Extra (Support) Hub

Depending on the width of the labels being used and/or the orientation of the applicator,
it may be helpful or necessary to use the extra hub to support the outboard side of the
label roll. Similar to the Inner Unwind Flange, the extra hub slides onto the unwind shaft
and the set screw should be tightened against the flat on the shaft. At this point of
installation, slide the extra hub near the inner flange and snug the setscrew against the
shaft flat. Final adjustment of this hub will be done when labels are loaded.
Due to vibrations in shipping, the setscrew may have moved in, out or
completely fallen out of the hub. It may be necessary to back the screw out
in order to put the hub on the shaft. If there is no screw in the hub, please
check the packaging that the flanges were in.

3.3 Outer Unwind Media Retainer

The outer unwind media retainer (Outer Unwind Flange) is rectangular in shape and has
the locking directions label on the hub as well as the soft hub locking insert. Using the
diagram on the locking directions label, align the flat on the diagram with the flat on the
unwind shaft and insert the unwind shaft into the retainer hub. Once the retainer is on the
shaft, rotate the retainer either clockwise or counterclockwise until it locks into place.
