1. Safety and Operational Guidelines
DANGER
This symbol identifies situations that endanger people, property, and/or equipment. If such conditions
exist, the equipment must be shut down and all energy sources (electrical, gas, and pneumatic) must be
disconnected, purged, and locked out until the problem is resolved.
Never attempt to bypass or defeat any safety device. Do not attempt to operate the equipment if any safety
device is not functioning properly, or if any doubt exists about proper operation of safety devices.
The product described in this publication may operate at high speed and contain numerous moving parts.
It may employ natural gas or propane, mechanical or pneumatic forces, and/or hazardous voltages, and may
create other conditions that could, through misuse, abuse, unauthorized alteration or retrofitting, inattention, or
lack of understanding, result in injury, death, or damage to the product or to other equipment. In addition,
improper operation may also depreciate the value of the machine and other assets of the owner, and impair the
working efficiency of the machine.
Energy Sources
M&R equipment may use one of more of the following energy sources:
Compressed Air (Pneumatic Energy)
Electricity
Gas (Natural Gas or Propane)
Each form of energy presents its own unique hazards and requires appropriate precautions.
Danger From Compressed Air (Pneumatic Energy)
Only qualified personnel should be allowed to work on pneumatic components or assemblies. Before work is
started on pneumatic components or assemblies, equipment should be disconnected from the air supply and all
pneumatic lines should be purged to prevent accidental operation of pneumatic assemblies. All pneumatic pipes
and hoses should be checked frequently for damage and wear.
Danger From Electrical Energy
Only qualified personnel should have access to electrical enclosures or work on electrical systems, and
enclosures should be locked when not in use. Electrical equipment should be checked regularly.
WARNING
Failure to follow safety and maintenance procedures or to take appropriate corrected action when required can
result in severe or fatal personal injuries, property damage, and/or damage to the equipment.

4. Compressed Air Supply
Description
1 Compressor
2 Air Dryer Unit
3 Shut-Off Valve
4 Closed Loop
5 Supply Lines (Air Drops) to Other Equipment (If Required)
6 Drain with Shut-Off Valve
7 Supply Line (Air Drop) to Equipment (3/4" inside-diameter pipe required)
8 Filter/Regulator/Lubricator
9 Flexible Rubber Hose
10 Equipment
This illustrates a typical closed-loop compressed-air supply system. It is designed to deliver clean, moisture-free
compressed air to pneumatic equipment. Air Dryers should be installed to help prevent moisture damage to
pneumatic seals, valves, and air cylinders that could void equipment warranties.
Air generated by the compressor (1) contains oil and moisture. The air dryer (2) removes moisture as the air
passes through it into the air supply system (4). Shutoff valves (3) should be installed at strategic locations to
allow operators to isolate parts of the system for repair or maintenance without shutting down the entire system. A
drain valve (6) should be installed at the lowest point in the loop to drain off accumulated oil and moisture. The
system may include one or more feeder lines (5). To further reduce moisture and prevent other contaminants from
entering pneumatic equipment, the feeder line should force air to travel upward, causing moisture and
contaminants to collect on the inside of the pipe and flow downward toward the drain valve. The supply line
should run horizontally to a position near the equipment before turning downward (these lines are known as `air
drops'.). Before reaching the equipment, the rigid supply pipe (7) should terminate in a shutoff valve (3) connected
to a 3/4" flexible rubber hose (9). The hose should be connected to the filter/regulator/lubricator manifold (8) on
the equipment. The regulator controls air pressure, the filter provides a final moisture-removal stage, and the
lubricator delivers a mist of special oil to lubricate all pneumatic components on the equipment (10).
Note: System air requirements determine pipe sizes. Air systems should be designed and installed by
licensed plumbing contractors.

Timers
Press the TIMERS button (1) to display the Index, Flash, Quartz, Preheat and Delay screen.
Index
When operating the press in AUTOMATIC mode, the index time (dwell) is the time interval between indexes.
Use the Up and Down arrows (2) to increase or decrease the Index time. The minimum setting is 0 and the
maximum is 20 seconds.
A numeric value (3) is displayed to the right of Index, Flash, Quartz, Preheat and Delay time. This provides a
visual indication of the current dwell time setting, and remaining dwell time. As the Index time (dwell) is adjusted,
the indicator changes to reflect the time entered. As the press operates and the dwell time counts down or
decreases, the numeric value reflects the amount of dwell time remaining until the start of the next print cycle.
When the dwell time reaches 0, the press automatically starts the next index cycle.
Flash & Quartz
The dwell time for both Flash Time and Quartz are adjusted in the same way. The minimum setting for Flash is 0
and the maximum is 20 seconds. The minimum setting for Quartz is 0 and the maximum is 15 seconds.
Preheat
Preheat controls the preheat time interval for the Quartz Flash lamps.
Use the arrow Up and Down buttons (4) to increase or decrease the Preheat time. The minimum setting is 0
and the maximum is 15 seconds.
Note: Always use preheat before starting an automatic print cycle. This allows the quartz lamps sufficient
time to achieve curing temperature and eliminates under cure and/or ink build-up on screens.

Delay
Delay controls the start of the quartz flash lamps as the index table starts its index motion. Delay time allows the
quartz lamps to reach operating power and reduces overexposure of heat sensitive substrates.

maximum is 5 seconds.
