QuickLabel RW-2 - Manual (Page 2)

(2) Slide the shaft and flange assembly onto the RW motor shaft allowing for
clearance to the RW-2 chassis and motor screws. Tighten the Allen screw to
secure the shaft and flange assembly until it is snug, but not too tight.
(3) Set the unit in place near the label exit path of the printer.
CAUTION: AVOID ACCIDENTS. CHOOSE ONLY A
STURDY SURFACE ON WHICH TO SET THE RW UNIT.
(4) The RW-2 and RW-8 are bi-directional. They can wind labels in either direction.
Verify that the
Direction Switch on the Control Panel is in the Off position.
(5) Connect the power lead from the Power Supply unit to the power Input Jack on
the back panel of the Drive Unit. Plug the AC Power Cord into the Power Supply
and into an appropriate AC power outlet.
The Rewinder is now ready for use.
LABEL REWINDING
(1) Place the Direction Switch on the Control Panel in the center OFF “0” position.
(2) Slide an empty 3-inch (76-mm) label core over the Core Holder (Core Chuck)
until the core is against the inner flange plate.
(3) If desired, slide the outer Flange Plate (with the center Nylon hub) over the Core
Chuck and up against the label rewind core. Tighten the Core Chuck Lock Knob
clockwise to secure the core and outer Flange Plate.
(4) Feed the label web from the printer and secure it to the take-up roll core with
masking tape. Manually rotate the take-up reel a couple of turns.
(5) Check that the Rewinder Unit is square with the printer.
(6) Place the Rewinder
TORQUE RANGE Switch in the NORMAL (REWIND)
position.
NOTE: YOU CAN USE THE HIGH (SLIT) POSITION FOR LABEL SLITTING OR
WHEN REWINDING LARGE DIAMETER ROLLS.
(7) Rotate the TORQUE ADJUST Control Knob to the minimum position (fully
counter-clockwise).
(8) Place the RW-2
DIRECTION Switch in the position desired to run left or right.
(9) Start the printer and adjust the TORQUE ADJUST Knob for the desired take-up
tension. Use only the minimum torque setting needed to rewind labels properly.
Excessive torque might pull the labels too hard and cause the printer to lose registra-
tion.
(10) When rewinding is finished, place the
DIRECTION switch in the OFF “0”
position. Turn the Core Chuck lock lever counterclockwise to release the outer
Flange and label roll from the unit.
EXTERNAL HALT CONTROL
QuickLabel Systems has provided an EXTERNAL HALT CONTROL to allow an
external device to optionally command the Rewinder to start or stop. If an external
unit, such as the printer, label slitter, etc. opens the control circuit, the Rewinder will
immediately disconnect power to the motor and apply braking.
Use a 3.5 mm dual circuit plug and cable plugged into the EXTERNAL HALT
CONTROL Jack. The Rewinder Control Plug connections are described below.
3.5mm External Halt Control Plug (dual circuit)
CONTACTS 2 & 3 OPEN: Rewinder HALTS
CONTACTS 2 & 3 CLOSED: Rewinder RUNS
1 = No connection (Not Used)
2 = Normally Closed (NC) contact return
3 = Normally Closed (NC) contact
MAINTENANCE
Your Label Rewinder requires no periodic or preventative maintenance.
