16 Installation Installation Carefully unpack the outer carton and shipping material. Although the exterior of the shrink tunnel is coated with a custom two part epoxy finish that resists scratching, avoid denting, scratching, or otherwise damaging the oven exterior. Lift the machine up and off of the shipping pallet. CAUTION! ET Performance Series Shrink Tunnels are heavy and may require a forklift, floor crane, or several people to move the...
Installation 17 Location Requirements When installing the shrink tunnel please be aware of the following considerations: 1. The surface on which it is located is flat and level. 2. Conveyor or packing table height. 3. Alignment with packaging line. When the shrink tunnel is positioned in the operating location you will need access to the control panel.
18 Operation Operation Control Panel Control panel location may vary by model. Model 1608-30 and Model 2010-36, the control panel is located in the side of the base of the unit. Model 1610-36 and Model 1610-48, the control panel is located l above the tunnel entrance.

20 Operation Sequence of Operation 1. Turn on power to the shrink tunnel by toggling the Power switch near the upper left of the control panel to the On position. (The temperature in the tunnel will be displayed on the temperature control.) 2.
Adjustments 21 Adjustments Temperature Controller Settings (ETC00011) 1. PV = Processing value (red in color). 2. SV = Setting value (green in color). 3. Back ( ), forward ( ), down ( ), and up ( ) keys. 4. Programming key access door — Open to access programming keys. 5.
22 Adjustments To Change the Set Value 1. Press the left-arrow ( ) button and a digit will begin to flash. The flashing digit indicates the digit whose value can be changed by pressing the down- ( ) or up- arrow ( ) buttons.
Page 23
Adjustments 23 To set AL-1 so the machine will shut down at 150°, press the left-arrow key and the right-most digit will flash. Use the up- or down-arrow key to select the digit, and then press the left-arrow key again. Use the up- or down-arrow key to set the digit and repeat until the correct value is displayed.
24 Maintenance Maintenance To aid in the high reliability of the shrink tunnel, inspect the machine regularly and perform maintenance as required. Disconnect electrical power before making any repairs. Be very careful when servicing or adjusting this equipment. If in doubt, stop and obtain qualified help before proceeding.
Maintenance 25 Check for loose fasteners. Tighten as necessary. Check the condition of the power cord for wear, especially if it is exposed to traffic. Check that the tunnel is able to maintain the set temperatures. If not, refer to the Adjustments Section of this User Guide for instruction.
Page 26
26 Maintenance NOTE: You must take the chain off the drive motor sprocket or the conveyor will not move freely. You must be able to move the conveyor to replace silicone covering on the rollers. 3. Remove old covering, by carefully slitting the covering and then pulling it off. 4.
Maintenance 27 Replacing Tunnel Components Caution! Disconnect main power source before performing any procedure to replace any tunnel component(s). Fuse replacement or electrical component replacement Major electrical components, except the conveyor motor (whose replacement procedure is provided on the previous page) and the heater bank and blower motor (whose replacement procedures are provided separately below), are located behind the fold- down electrical control panel for easy maintenance.
Page 28
28 Maintenance For the second option (to replace entire controller and receptacle), first take note of wire locations (make a sketch and label the wires with tape, if necessary), and then disconnect wires from the temperature controller and thermocouple. Slide the controller and receptacle out of the front of the panel.
Maintenance 29 Note: Do not rest blower housing on blower wheel! Blower wheel will not work if bent or out of balance. Blower wheel replacement Shut off power to the machine. Refer to Blower motor replacement instructions above. Placement of upper wear rails Shut off power to the machine, move the conveyor by hand if necessary to gain access.

30 Maintenance Step 1 – Begin splicing in the center 1. Move the two ends of the belt to be spliced to the exit end of the conveyor. 2. Confirm that the edge loops curve back, away from the direction of belt travel as shown in the following illustration.
Page 31
Maintenance 31 6. Pull the ends of the strand through until the center section “pops” or “locks” into place. (You should be pulling the strands toward you.) 7. Use pliers or the wire belt straightening tool to straighten the wire in the center space.
Page 32
32 Maintenance 2. Bend the wire toward the center and insert it around the z-bend next to the center space. (Space D in the following illustration.) 3. Pull the strand wire through the mesh and straighten it with pliers. 4. Repeat the above three moves until you reach the side edge of the belt. 5.

Maintenance 33 2. If you are installing a new belt, you are finished splicing. Step 4 – Check Drive Shaft Sprocket Alignment Check to ensure 3/16-inch clearance between all sprockets (and/or blanks) and the Z-bends next to them. Check alignment of sprocket teeth with a straight-edge. (Only necessary if the sprockets are not keyed to the drive shaft.) Step 5 –...
