Operating Precautions

Proper operation of the SLPA depends upon timely maintenance and

appropriate operation. Always observe the following precautions:

• Use label stock which is designed for use with the SLPA. Printronix

supplied replacement stock is recommended.

• Ensure that a regulated air supply is used for the pneumatic system. Use

the appropriate filters for the removal of dirt, oil, and excessive moisture.

• Secure all protective guards, covers, and enclosures prior to operating

the SLPA. Ensure proper mounting of the SLPA prior to use.

• Do not attempt to operate an SLPA from a power source other than that

for which it was designed. Do not use any of the SLPA’s components to

power or operate any equipment except those they are intended to

operate.

• Use only Printronix replacement parts for maintenance and repair.

• You must have this manual to perform any maintenance. Use only the

appropriate tools and ensure that maintenance workers are properly

grounded if work is being performed on the circuitry.

• Do not use objects other than a finger to operate buttons on the keypad.

• Sound pressure levels indicated a maximum reading of 81 ±1dB(A).

Sound levels were determined based on printers of similar design and

assembled with a 3 x 4 inch applicator pad. Readings were taken in a low

noise environment, at approximately 1.0 meter.

NOTE: Sound levels may vary depending upon the mounting of the SLPA,

the surface to which a label is applied, and the environment in which it

is used. The size of the applicator pad can also affect sound levels, in

that larger pads can produce greater noise when applying labels.

Operational Safety

WARNING

The addition of custom safety guards in the vicinity of the label

applicator is essential to the safe operation of the SLPA. Due to the

variety of potential assembly line setups, Printronix cannot provide

sufficient guarding in a standard package. The addition of such guards

is the responsibility of the buyer.

WARNING

The SLPA should be powered off during any operation in which a

worker may be exposed to a hazardous zone. If it is necessary that the

SLPA remain powered on, make certain that the Pause button is pressed

and the product sensor is disconnected.
