6. Installation and Initial Operation
Installation
Only an optimally aligned installation of the system can ensure a continuous operation
with a low rate of failures and a minimum wear. For an optimized installation of the sys-
tem, fine tunings adapted to environmental conditions are essential. For the fine tunings, a
complex expert knowledge is required basing on experience with labeling technique.
The complexity of a wear-optimized installation requires a high measure of specialized
knowledge and experience, which cannot be obtained completely by reading this manual.
Therefore the installation of the labeler must be made by a technician from the Bluhm
Weber Group or examined by a final inspection. Damage or damages based on an incor-
rect installation, represent no case of warranty.
Furthermore additional information on initial operation and maintenance is available in the
Service Manual.

can result in malfunctions of the controller.
Correct air and power supply according to the chapter "Technical Data".
Placing the Labeler
