4. Connect the T-SEAL III devices to the power supply by connecting the AC power cord to the AC power inlet and
then to an earthed AC socket.
5. Make sure that the power switches are OFF.
6. Insert a communication termination plug into the COM IN of the leader.
7. Interconnect the next T-SEAL III device with the leader by utilizing the short communication cable. Connect the
short communication cable from the COM OUT of the leader to the COM IN of the first follower.
8. Interconnect the remaining followers by connecting the communication cables as described above.
9. Insert a communication termination plug into the COM OUT of the last follower.
10. Turn on all of the devices.
11. When the status LEDs are green and none of the error LEDs are illuminated, the devices are ready to make
segments.
12. Place the tube in the tube slot and slide the tube downward into the slots. Be careful not to stretch the tube or to
put any stress on it.
13. Each sealing head will separately detect its tube section, and cascade sealing will be activated only when all the
individual tube sections are detected. If the tube is not correctly detected in one or more of the sealing heads, the
error LED will be illuminated on the actual device and on the leader. In this case, remove the tube from all the
heads and start the procedure again.
14. All the T-SEAL devices will seal one by one.
15. During the sealing process the LEDs will turn yellow on each device. When the process is finished, they will turn
green again.
16. Remove the tube when all the LEDs have turned green.
4. Functional Description
This section describes how T-SEAL III works, where the connectors and the indications are placed on the unit, and
their functions.
4.1 Description of Sealing
The tube to be sealed is placed in the slot of the front cover, in between the electrodes. When the sensor detects the
tube, the sealing procedure begins automatically. The radio frequency (RF) generator starts and the energy is transferred
from the fixed electrode to the tube, which melts to a welding pattern.
During the entire sealing process, the yellow seal light on the display of the sealing unit is lit. When the light goes out,
the seal process is complete, the electrode opens, and the tube may be removed.
The sealing unit detects, controls, and adjusts the necessary sealing activity to give the best sealing quality for the type of
tube that is being used.
5. Operating Instructions
This section describes the use of the device.
Warning! T-SEAL III uses radio frequency (RF) energy to generate heat for sealing. Be cautious of potential electrical
shocks or hazards while handling this device. Always keep your fingers away from the electrodes in the slot. Never place
any object other than the tube between the electrodes.
Warning! This device emits a low level of electromagnetic (non-ionizing) radiation while sealing. It should not be used
near high-frequency sensitive electronic equipment. See Table 1 for guidance.
Caution! Inspect all parts of the device for defects before use.
