Before installing and operating the Collamat 6600 read following safety instructions: The labeler C6600 is exclusively determinated for labelling goods. The installation of a Collamat 6600 has to be done by a trained specialist. For this you have to consider the national specific regulations of prevention of accidents...
Symbol descriptions ATTENTION Indicates danger of damaging the Collamat 6600 or other system compo- nents, with a potential consequential danger of injuries. DANGER Indicates an immediate hazard for persons. DANGER Shock hazard due to high voltage at component. DANGER Hazard due to high temperature component.
These assemblies must be certificated by HM Collamat AG. 2.2.3 Mechanical stability If the Collamat 6600 is used on a movable stand, this stand must be capable to be tilt 10° in each direction. See also following figure 1: 10°...
2.3 Assembly parts The assembly parts are mounted and placed on a modular rail.

3 Mechanical adjustments 3.1 Traction unit 3.1.1 Threading the labelweb Figure 3 Thread the labelweb as shown in figure 3 up to the dispensing edge and draw it out by approx. 1m. Detach the labels from the paperweb at the drawn-out web. Then open the pinchroller by turning the knob 1, place the paperweb over the dispensing edge and finish threading the paperweb as shown in figure 3.
3.1.3 Readjustment of paper brake Figure 5 The braking force is factory-set to an optimum value. Should it, however, be unadjusted, readjust it with the M3-bolt 2 in the web-end controlbox of the traction unit, from the outside. higher braking force Screw in bolt = lower braking force Unscrew bolt =...
3.2 Flap adapter 3.2.1 Inclination adjustment of flap adapter Figure 7 The inclination of the flap adapter can be changed against the module rail: Unscrew nut 1 with two turns (refer to figure 7), with special hexagonal spanner (included as accessory). Push adapter in the direction indicated by the arrow 2, turn to desired setting at ring 3.
Proceeding of the adjustment of the optical label scanner: Switch on the Collamat 6600. Set the label scanner potentiometer to zero. Pull the labelweb so that the gap is located below the marking 1 of the scanner. Turn the potentiometer until the red LED on the scanner goes off.
3.4 Adjustment of the mechanical label scanner The mechanical label scanner (not used on magnetic flap adapter) is an alternative to the optical label scanner and is mainly used for transparent labels. 1. Scanner support 2. Scanning head 3. Nut 2 - 6 mm Figure 10 Adjustment:...
4 Technical description 4.1 Dispenser board All the electronic devices including power transformer, except of the main switch with indicator lamp, are located on a printed board. The dimensions of the board are approximately 215 x 234 mm. Figure 11 shows the board with all the connectors and terminals. The description is divided into power supply, motordriver, controller and firmware.
The interference can lead to malfunction of the Collamat 6600. Anyway, installing the Collamat 6600 you have to consider the rules concerning RMI and ESD to prevent these interferences. See also chapter Cabling.
The inputs are used to connect peripheral units and sensors. The inputs are activated while they are pulled to GND (0 Volt). The peripheral units from HM Collamat AG have NPN-outputs to 0 Volt. Figure 12 shows the schematic diagram of the inputs:...
4.2.3 Isolated outputs These outputs are completely isolated to the electronic circuit of the labeler. Figure 13 shows the schematic diagram of the isolated outputs. The following outputs are available: ERROR Photocoupler, indicates an error condition (ERR) IFEED Photocoupler, isolated FEED-signal (IFD) Umax.: 24VDC Imax: 25 mA PC355T...
4.2.5 Currentsource-output For the IR-transmitter of the label scanner TCY, a controlled currentsource is used. Figure 15 shows the schematic diagram of the currentsource: +12V OP-AMP 100k LM358 H8/532 BCP54-16 4 IR-LEDs 100n Figure 15: TCY-currentsource page 18 / 56 5999.525-01F 13.01.
4.3 Connection diagrams BUS X101, X102 The buscable of the peripheral units is connected to the connectors X101 or X102. The cable must be placed inside of the module rail to prevent interferences. Figure 16 shows the position of the buscable connectors on the dispenser board: X102 X101...
The primary side of the transformer is connected to the terminals X46 and X48. Dependent to the mains voltage the transformer is connected as shown in figure 18: 110V 120V 220V 230V 240V 0 = black 2 = red 4 = yellow 5 = green 8 = grey 9 = white...
4.7 Connection of the mains output Peripheral units like the flatprinter or the adapter with magnet are connected to the mains output. To this terminal only units, certified by HM Collamat AG, may be connected. Figure 20 shows the mains output terminal:...
4.9 Motor and motorcable Attention: Never dismantle the motor ! Steppermotors heat up during operation ! When connecting or disconnecting the motor, the labeler has to be switched off ! While working on the motor, the labeler has to be disconnected from the mains ! The motor is connected inside of the labeler.
5 Firmware 5.1 Normalmode After turning on the labeler, the DIL-switches are scanned to figure out the working mode. Then the DATA-HOLD-switch is scanned. Dependent to its position the data from the EEPROM are read out or the potentiometers are scanned. The dispensing of a label is triggered by the negative edge of GSC1 (Goods scanner input).
5.2 DIL-switches The dispenser board contains six DIL-switches. These switches are used to select different operat- ing modes. The following table and figure 24 show the functions and the positions of the DIL-switches: Switch Function TEST Labelingmode/ Testmode Labelingmode Testmode Slave Master Turning direction of the motor...
5.2.4 DIL-switch NS This DIL-switch selects the Nonstopmode. In the Nonstopmode two Collamat 6600 can be used to work in a zero downtimemode. For further information to the Nonstopmode, please read the chap- ter Nonstopmode.
5*20mm 74031135 To exchange the fuses, the cover of the Collamat 6600 must be removed. If the fuse of the main voltage is blown, the indicator lamp of the power switch is not illuminated when the Collamat is switched on.

The transmitter (2 pole cable) and receiver (3 pole cable) of the optical label scanner can directly be connected to the dispenser C6600, to the flap adapter or to the flatprinter respectively. In this case, the connection to the Collamat 6600 is made by the 14 pole flatcable. page 31 / 56...
10 Nonstop labelling When using two Collamat 6600, it is possible to label goods with no down time. For this purpose the two labelers must be connected together by an electrical link. The necessary links are shown in figure 34. The placement of the two Collamat to each other is shown in figure 35.
Service the erroneous condition on the stopped Collamat If an error occurs which stops both Collamat, first the error condition must be serviced. Then the Nonstopmode must be set up again, as described before.
The DATA-HOLD switch is supervised. Dependent to its position, the potenti- ometer values are scanned or stored. In the testmode, the Collamat 6600 can be controlled by an ASCII-terminal or a PC with a terminal emulation software. The communication with the Collamat will be done through the connector X104 using the RS232 protocol.
11.1 Testprogram When the Collamat 6600 is connected to the terminal, it must be switched on. At this moment the DIL-switch TEST must be set to on. The traction unit begins to turn with the speed set on the SPEED potentiometer. The terminal shows the following message: COLLAMAT 6600 V1.011...
11.1.2 Motor intervall test The Motor intervall test tests the labelling functions of the Collamat 6600. If a label web is threaded through the dispenser, labels will be dispensed periodically with the speed set on the SPEED potentiometer. >n Motor intervall test.

12 Incremental encoder The electrical connection of an incremental encoder is described in the chapter Connection of the goods scanners. The programming is described in the chapter Testmode. Now the mechanical attachment of the conveyor to the encoder will be described. If the speed measuring is done by an incremental encoder, the measured speed can be fine ad- justed by ±10 % with the SPEED potentiometer.
