SET-UP

1. Install the aluminum Control Arm (with Nylon roller) onto the Sensor

Shaft on the front of the UCAT-40. Note that the Screw in the Control

Arm MUST go on the flat part of the Sensor Shaft. Tighten the Screw

then use the Large Screw that came with the Control Arm to secure the

Arm to the Sensor Shaft. Tighten snugly.

2. Mount the 40-cm (16”)

diameter Flange Plate onto the

“Quick-Chuck” Core Holder using

the screws provided.

3. Slide the “Quick-Chuck” and

Flange Assembly onto the

UCAT-40 Motor Shaft allowing

for clearance to the Chassis and

Motor Screws. Tighten the Allen

screw to secure the “Quick-

Chuck” and Flange Assembly

onto the Motor.

4. Set the UCAT-40 in place near the label entrance slot of the printer.

5. CAUTION: AVOID ACCIDENTS. THE UCAT-40 WEIGHS

APPROXIMATELY 30 POUNDS (13.6 KG), SO CHOOSE ONLY A

STURDY SURFACE ON WHICH TO SET THE UCAT-40.

6. The UCAT-40 is bi-directional. It can unwind labels in either direction.

7. Verify that the “DIRECTION” Switch on the UCAT-40 Control Panel is

in the “OFF” position.

8. Plug the Power Plug at the end of the wire on the AC Wall Transformer

into the UCAT-40 Power Input Jack. Plug the AC Transformer into an

appropriate AC power outlet.

9. The unit is now ready for use.

POWER UNWINDING:

1. Place the “DIRECTION” Switch on the UCAT-40 Control Panel to the

center, “OFF”, position.

2. Slide the roll of labels to be unwound on the UCAT-40.

3. Run the labels under the UCAT-40 Control Arm and into the printer.

4. Place the “DIRECTION” switch in the desired position to feed the

labels into your printer.

5. Place the “HIGH / NORMAL” Switch in the NORMAL position and

advance the “TORQUE” Control about 1/3 rotation from fully CCW as

an initial setting.

6. Start your printer and observe how the labels are being fed into the

printer.

7. Adjust the “TORQUE” Control as needed to provide more or less

unwind assistance. As the printer uses the labels, the Control Arm will

rise, causing the UCAT-40 to turn on and feed more labels. As the

UCAT-40 feeds more labels, the labels and the Control Arm will drop

down, turning off the UCAT-40 until more labels are needed as the

Control Arm is lifted again.

EXTERNAL HALT CONTROL (Use is Optional)

The External Halt Control jack on the UCAT-40 is for use with external

devices capable of providing an open circuit halt command. A 3.5-mm

control cable is required (not included).
