TARTUP AND OPERATION

Monitoring functions

During labelling operation, the electronic control unit
monitors the following functions:
Material end / roll diameter
(OD = outer roll diameter, PMA = printer, LMA = dis-
penser)
To facilitate quick and smooth changing of the material
roll, the machine can send an alarm to operating per-
sonnel in advance before the end of the material roll.
The OD sensor is used for this purpose. It is available
in two designs.
Depending on the configuration and setting of the ma-
chine, different messages appear at material end or
when a critical roll diameter is reached:
•
No OD sensor
Message of the PMA at material end:
Status num:
No gap found
The PMA stops.
Message of the LMA, if the PMA doesn´t continue
to print:
Status num:
PMA not ready
•
Internal OD sensor
The control unit is evaluating signals from two sen-
sors that are integrated into the material dispenser.
Prerequisites:
– To be able to use the function, the two sensors
must be connected to the machine with two ex-
ternal cables (accessories).
