46 Installation
4510001 REV B – 220620
AC Power
Experience has shown that the AC power in locations where the LX-150 is installed can be
subject to line noise, brownouts, and blackouts. If line noise, brownouts, or blackouts occur
on a regular basis, install a good-quality Line Conditioner to ensure data integrity. In many
cases, these devices may not be necessary; it is acceptable to start an installation without
them. However, if system lockups or occasional label misfires occur, the first corrective
measure should be to isolate and clean up the AC power.
Work Area
For safety, the work area should have a Fire Extinguisher.
Orientation
Looking at the front of the LX-150, the Conveyor enters on the left and exits on the right.
The UR-1 should be positioned before the LX-150 in the production line, but may need to be
at an angle to avoid interfering with the Conveyor flow. In this case, a Turn Bar will be
needed to redirect the film into the LX-150 (see “Turn Bar” on page 20).
Mandrel Position
The center line of the Conveyor will need to run beneath the central axis of the Mandrel (see
“Fine-Tuning the LX-150 Position” on page 60).
Maintenance Access
When planning the installation, allow for easy access to the Front Door and Electronics
Cabinet of the LX-150, as well as to the HMI, so that setup, operation, and maintenance can
be done conveniently. Additionally, ensure that both sides of the UR-1 are easily accessible
for fast and convenient changeover and splicing of Label Film Spools and for maintenance.
Ventilation
A Heat Shrink Tunnel usually immediately follows the LX-150 on the product path, shrinking
the placed labels onto the product. Depending on the product and label material used,
hazardous fumes can result from the heat shrink process. Ensure that the work area has
proper ventilation.
WARNING: Hazardous fumes – ensure that work area has adequate
ventilation.
