Install the Print Mechanics at Machines (Installation without Mounting Frame)
In case the machine is used without mounting frame, then the print module is to be fixed from the top with four M6 screws.
The maximum thread engagement of the M6 threads is 6 mm.

Connect the Pneumatic Power Supply

The pneumatic power supply for the printhead mechanics has to be made available a minimum continuous pressure of 4 ... 6
bars in front of the pressure regulator. The maximum pressure in front of the pressure regulator is 7 bars and 4 bars after the
pressure regulator.
NOTICE!
A pneumatic power supply of 4 bars is recommended.

Connect the Direct Print Module

The direct print module is prepared according to standard for a mains voltage of 230 V AC / 50 ... 60 Hz. Optionally a mains
voltage can be used by 115 V AC / 50 ... 60 Hz. The set mains voltage is mentionned on the type plate.
CAUTION!
The direct print module can be damaged by undefined switch-on currents.
.

Set the power switch to '0' before plugging in the direct print module.

Insert the power cable into the power connection socket.

Insert the plug of power cable into a grounded electrical outlet.
NOTICE!
Insufficient or missing grounding can cause faults during operation.
Ensure that all computers and connection cables connected to the direct print module are grounded.

Connect the direct print module to a computer or network with a suitable cable.
Before Initial Operation

Mount the print mechanics.

Connect all cables between the print mechanics and control unit.

Protect the cables against unintentional unscrewing.

Connect the compressed air line.

Connect the control unit and PC by printer interface.

Connect the control unit and packaging machine by inputs and outputs.

Connect the power cable of control unit.

Please observe the following notes:
•
The compressed-air has to be dry and oil free.
•
The supplied pressure regulator with manometer is to
connect with a plastic tube Ø 8 mm via a plugging
bolting to the pneumatic power supply. It is necessary
to make a connection between the pressure regulator
and the print mechanics via a plastic tube Ø 8 mm.
•
Position the pressure regulator as near as possible to
the print mechanics.
•
The pressure regulator is only to operate in the
direction that is indicated on its underside. The
direction shows the way of the streaming air.
•
It is not allowed to bend the plastic tubes.
•
Shortening of the plastic tubes has to be made with a
clean right-angled cut without squashing the tube. If
necessary use special tools (available in pneumatic
requirements).
•
Please observe a possible short length of the 8 mm
plastic tubes.
