HI-700HS service manual - 1 - Installation About this manual This service manual contains information for a qualified service engineer on aspects of the HI-700HS machine such as basic & detailed maintenance, component parts and recommended spare parts. HI-700HS The HI-700HS is a PC based high speed dynamic weigh labeller.
Ensure when this port is not in use the protective cover is screwed on. Shipment of machine Machines leaving Digi Europe Ltd are normally shipped in a wooden crate, and the load cell clamped by the transit screws. These transit screws must be released before the machine is operated, see further in this section for details.
HI-700HS service manual - 1 - Installation Safety- your responsibilities In normal operation, it is essential that the scale cover, protective covers or panels are in place. The conveyors should be fitted and in their correct place for the machine to operate.
Page 12
Safety–Emergency stop The HI-700HS is fitted with an emergency stop switch on the main control box and the labeller power box When the machine is running, a sharp push on the button head will stop the conveyors.
HI-700HS service manual - 1 - Installation Moving the machine When moving the machine the labeller should be supported to stop lateral movement.
