TAL-3100C Tamp Applicator Machine Startup: 1. Mount the TAL-3100C on an appropriate mounting stand. Be sure to mount the labeler using only the mounting arms. 2. Plug the TAL-3100C directly into a 110 VAC 15-amp Grounded outlet. Extension cords may result in improper labeler operation and are not recommend by Take-A-Label, Inc.
Label Setup: The label advance potentiometer resides on top of the TAL-3100C electrical housing. The purpose is to adjust the stopping position of the label with respect to the peel plate. With the label advance pot turned all the way counterclockwise the photo eye will stop the applicator instantly when it senses a gap.

Air Assist Tube Placement: 1. The air assist tube is used to assist the label out onto the vacuum pad. As a rule of thumb, the blast pattern from this tube should be directed at a 30° angle onto the vacuum pad. This angle may vary due to several factors, as a result different blast angles may have to be experimented with.
