Installation 15 Installation Carefully unpack the outer carton and shipping material. Although the exterior of the bundling 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 Bundling Tunnels are heavy and may require a forklift, floor crane, or several people to move the...
16 Installation Location Requirements When installing the bundling 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 bundling tunnel is positioned in the operating location you will need access to the control panel.
Page 17
Installation 17 When the tunnel cools down to approximately 150°F or 66°C (unless a different cool- down temperature has been set), the tunnel conveyor and blowers will shut off automatically. Bringing the tunnel down this way helps prevent damage to the conveyor and internal components from excess prolonged exposure to heat inside the tunnel.
• Lifting the lever to the On position turns on (connects) the system power necessary to power the Eastey Bundling Tunnel. • Pushing the lever down to the Off position cuts (disconnects) all power to the system.
Operation 19 4. Thermostat Control — Temperature setting (SV, for Set Value, also sometimes called the set point) and current temperature (PV, for Present Value) inside the chamber is displayed. CAUTION! When the power is turned on be aware of heat inside of the tunnel and hot surfaces and moving belts or rollers.

20 Operation Special Notes About the Bundling Tunnel Shutdown Sequence When shutting down the tunnel, be sure to first turn the heater-bank switch to Off. Once the heater-bank switch is switched off, it will take some time (this will vary depending on heat settings) for the tunnel to cool down completely.
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.
24 Maintenance Maintenance To aid in the high reliability of the bundling 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 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. ...
26 Maintenance When performing repairs to the conveyor, it is important to remove or protect the belt to avoid damage from welding sparks or from other tools. Avoid using the belt for uses other than for what it was specified. If you need to utilize the belt in a different application, consult the manufacturer first.
Page 27
Maintenance 27 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.
28 Maintenance 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 29
Maintenance 29 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.
30 Maintenance 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.

Maintenance 31 2. Insert a plastic retainer clip into place to retain the metal rod. Use a hammer, if necessary, to gently tap the retainer clip into place. 3. Use a flat-blade screwdriver to give the retainer clip a “double click” to finish seating it in place To disassemble the belt 1.
Page 32
32 Maintenance 2. Use a screwdriver to push down on the retainer clip to unseat it. 3. Continue to push down on the retainer clip to move it out of the end link. 4. Slide the metal rod out to unlink the belt and the belt will unzip.
