IMPORTANT: CALIBRATION OF THE PHOTOCELL
The label detector photocell has been adjusted at the factory and requires no adjustment for a large variety of labels.
However, some specific labels (very transparent or relatively opaque backing paper) might require adjustment of the
photocell.
Load a roll of labels on the machine and position the backing paper in front of the photocell. Make sure that the labels
are tensioned when doing the calibration. The green LED should light on. If not, rotate the potentiometer till LED goes on
"green". Now put a label in front of the photocell, the LED should turn off.
REWIND CONTROLS
DIRECTION
SWITCHED/ CONTINUOUS
TORQUE
SWITCHED/CONTINUOUS : to choose the rewind mode depending on the application. When in continuous, the rewinder
will not stop with the front control panel commands. In switched mode, the rewinding motor will be dependent on the
start/stop button from the front control panel and the optional pre-set counter.
We recommend tensioning the web BEFORE pressing the start button.

TEST: Green LED
RESET (Only if optional counter is fitted): The toggle switch is a momentary
closing switch that has the same function as the reset button on the counter.
ADJUST: Potentiometer for Photocell (see below)
RESET
TORQUE POTENTIOMETER :To adjust the rewind tension. DO NOT
APPLY EXCESSIVE TORQUE. If the rewind unit gets noisy, it is most
probably due to excessive rewind torque.
DIRECTION SWITCH: To change the direction of the rewind shaft for
wind-in or wind-out functions. DO NOT CHANGE DIRECTION WHILE
THE UNIT IS RUNNING. THIS COULD PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE
MACHINE.
• Signals: ENC A and ENC B: Square wave 0 – 15V
• Linear encoder resolution: 40 or 80 microns (depending on model)
• Gap: Open Collector (15V)
• Start/Advance '1': Pulse 12V to 15V (The pulse length should be shorter than the
time it takes to advance one label)
• Busy: Output: 15V when motor is running. 0V when stopped.
