3.2 Operating procedure
Step User action Response LCD display
1
Switch power on. The LCD will show “INITIALIZING” and
sealing jaws will move to the load
position.
2
Check that the tubing type
and diameter displayed are
correct. If not, then set to
match the tubing to be
sealed (Steps 2A to C).
When the diagnostic checks are
complete, the unit will prompt you to
insert the tubing and will display the
current tubing setting. The READY light
will come on.
3
Lift the tube loading handle
upwards. The red safety
flag will turn to allow you to
insert the tubing. Place the
tubing in between the jaws
resting on the stainless
steel platform. Release the
tube loading handle and
verify that the red safety
flag is on top of the tubing.
Press and hold the GO
button down until a beep is
heard. The GO button may
be released at that point.
The jaws will close to squeeze the
tubing. The READY light will go out.
Once the jaws are closed, the sealing
will begin. The LCD screen will display
progress of the cycle and the time in
seconds for each step.
If the GO button is released before the
jaws have closed to the preset sealing
position, the step will be aborted and
the jaws will open again to the load
position (Step 2).
4
Wait for the sealer jaws to
open and release the sealed
tubing. Remove the tubing
and reset the machine for
the next cycle by pressing
the GO button.
Inspect the seal carefully
before use. Allow a few
minutes for the seal to cool
completely to anneal to
maximum strength.
The machine will open to the release
position. The sealing jaws will be cool to
touch. The seal cycle is complete. The
READY light will come on.
Each seal cycle takes about 2 to 3
minutes depending on the tubing type
and diameter.
