3.3.3.4 Gas flush level setting:
For a selected program set the gas flush level following the same procedure as
for the vacuum level; the maximum gas flush level setting is 10% below the
vacuum setting.
3.3.3.5 Sealing time setting:
For a selected program set the sealing time, starting with the seconds; the
decimal point is automatically inserted following the first digit entry and the
validation is automatically performed following the third digit entry (the new
sealing time is blinking). The sealing time is truncated to the nearest half
hundredth. In a middle of an acquisition, use key "ENTER" to validate the sealing
time and key "ESC" to come backward and start over with a new acquisition
(the old sealing time is blinking).
Examples: 4.50s keys 4, 5, 0 or 4, 5, ENTER or
keys 4, 5, 1 or 4, 5, 2 or 4, 5, 3 or 4, 5, 4
2.35s keys 2, 3, 5 or
keys 2, 3, 6 or 2, 3, 7 or 2, 3, 8 or 2, 3, 9
0.00s keys 0, 0, 0 or 0, ENTER
3.3.4 Vacuum cycle execution:
For the manual units and the automatic units set on manual, close the cover to initiate a
vacuum cycle. For the automatic units set on semi-automatic or on automatic, use push
button "STOP / START" to initiate or interrupt a vacuum cycle. A selected program can
be initiated only in the programs menu, when no modifications are in progress, and the
access to the other programs and functions is denied. During cycle execution the
operation status is sequencally displayed on LCD screen, except for the parameters
established to zero, which are not displayed:
- chamber vacuum level during vacuum sequence,
- vacuum plus time status during vacuum plus sequence,
- chamber vacuum level during gas flush sequence,
- sealing time status during sealing sequence,
- chamber vacuum level during atmosphere sequence.7
During cycle execution, use key "1" to abort the vacuum sequence and execute the
following sequence, which is gas flush or sealing, and key "ENTER" to accede and
modify the program; the parameters become valid only for the following vacuum cycles.
3.3.5 System monitor:
To accede the diagnostics menu, power up the vacuum packaging machine while
keeping pushed in the "ESC"key. Use key "SELECT" to select the system monitor
function and key "ENTER" to accede and visualize the monitored parameters. Use key
"SELECT" to change over from the software revision, the amount of working hours
done and the amount of complete cycles performed since first initialization.
