Reel-to-Reel Counters provide the ideal off-line solution for counting rolls of labels. With these machines you can verify the number of labels on a roll, divide large rolls into smaller rolls using the preset count/stop fea- ture, and re-tension loose rolls. The RRC-400 affords high-speed bi-directional counting capability for up to 16” diameter rolls. -

- Page 7 B) Using the Adjustable Core Holder (ACH) • Unlock the three locking levers underneath the plate by turning them clockwise.

- Page 10 ADJUSTING THE DAMPER ROLLERS (FIG. 20 - Top) • The damper rollers at the top of the machine should be slightly separated from the aluminum rollers such that the labels are close but do not touch the rubber rollers. • The rubber rollers help prevent any variance in the final count by preventing the fluttering of the web at the end of the roll from being felt by the label sensor as the web is pulled off of the unwind side of the machine.
- Page 11 OPERATING THE RRC-400 • Place both direction switches in the stop position (illustrated by the “|” symbol). (FIG. 16) • Place the supply roll of labels onto a core holder on one side of the machine. • Install an empty label core onto the other side of the machine and tighten the Core-Holder.
- Page 12 A) Sync Mode (FIG. 20 - Bottom) • Sync Mode enables semi-automatic operation. Once the operator has chosen the desired direction and speed, the machine will automatically adjust the speed throughout the counting process to optimize the counting time and roll tension. •...
- Page 13 B) Manual Mode (FIG. 16) • Manual Mode gives the user complete control over the operation of the machine. The two bidirectional motors enable the rewinding and unwinding in any direction and any configuration. (FIG. 25, 26, 27, 28). Note: The motors CAN be set in opposite directions and at different speeds. This is perfectly OK and will not damage the machine.
- Page 14 Each button increases the preset count by its respective order of magnitude. • When the preset number of labels is reached, the RRC-400 will stop as close to the desired count as possi- ble. Pressing the white “COUNTER RESET” button to the left of the counter will start the RRC-400 again.
