6.2 Installation Requirements
In order to successfully install a ICE Torus printer, the following services must be available at
the site of the printer installation:-
Power: 90-264 VAC (+/- 10%), 1.5-0.5A, 1~47-63Hz
Compressed Air: 6 Bar, dry, uncontaminated
Print Signal – See notes below:-
Print signalling can be achieved by the following methods:
A 24VDC signal from a PNP sensor (supplied separately, part number - 402276 for a diffuse
sensor kit or part number - 402277 for a retro reflective sensor kit)
or
by utilising the ‘volt free‘ print signal contacts, standard with every ICE Torus printer
PLEASE NOTE:- ALL ICE TORUS PRINTERS CONTAIN AN ‘INTEGRAL’ PRODUCT
SENSOR. HOWEVER, IF THE INTEGRAL SENSOR IS TO BE USED, THE SELF-
CLEANING PRINTHEAD CYCLE WILL BE RENDERED INACTIVATE.
IN ADDITION, IF THE INK CANISTER IS REMOVED THE SELF-CLEANING PRINTHEAD
CYCLE WILL BE RENDERED INACTIVE.
It is highly recommended that a correctly screened, EMC Compliant, remotely mounted retro-
reflective product sensor is used wherever possible.
Operating with a remotely mounted sensor will allow sufficient time for the self-cleaning
printhead cycle to activate between products.
In addition, a retro reflective sensor will reduce the possibility of false print triggering, caused
by product undulations, which can occasionally occur with a diffused sensor.
Sufficient space to mount the printer allowing easy access to the ink canister and the
CLARiTY™ touch screen. Refer to the Technical Guide for printer dimensions.
If the product conveying equipment varies in speed, the ICE Torus encoder kit, part number -
402275, will be required.
IMPORTANT WARNING: It is essential that the ICE Torus 500/126 printers are only used
with a fully screened encoder, Part Number 402275. Failure to do so may result in equipment
damage and product malfunction. Any equipment damage resulting from the use of incorrect
or unscreened encoders will not be covered by the equipment warranty.”
A suitable storage area for replacement ink canisters, dry with a temperature between 10 -
40ºC.
If the printer is not being used, it should also be stored between 10 - 40ºC.
