regard to safety and dangers as stated in the operating manual.
• The device applicator mounted on a cab printer of the Hermes+ series is intended exclusively for applying suitable
materials that have been approved by the manufacturer. Any other use or use going beyond this shall be regarded
as improper use. The manufacturer/supplier shall not be liable for damage resulting from unauthorized use; the
user shall bear the risk alone.
• Usage for the intended purpose also includes complying with the operating manual, including the manufacturer‘s
maintenancerecommendationsandspecications.

Warning!
This is a class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference in which
case the user may be required to take adequate measures.

• Before mounting the delivered components disconnect the printer from the power supply and close the shutoff
valve of the applicator.
• Only connect the device to other devices which have a protective low voltage.
• Switch off all affected devices (computer, printer, accessories) before connecting or disconnecting.
• In operation, moving parts are easily accessible.
This applies especially for the zone, where the pad is moved between the starting and the labelling position.
During operation do not reach into that zone and keep long hair, loose clothes, and jewelry distant. Before any
manipulations in those areas, close the shutoff valve.
• The device may only be used in a dry environment, do not expose it to moisture (sprays of water, mists, etc.).
• Do not use the device in an explosive atmosphere.
• Do not use the device close to high-voltage power lines.
• Perform only those actions described in this operating manual.
Work going beyond this may only be performed by trained personnel or service technicians.
• Unauthorized interference with electronic modules or their software can cause malfunctions.
• Otherunauthorizedworkonormodicationstothedevicecanalsoendangeroperationalsafety.
• Alwayshaveserviceworkdoneinaqualiedworkshop,wherethepersonnelhavethetechnicalknowledgeand
tools required to do the necessary work.
• There are various warning stickers on the device. They draw your attention to dangers. Warning stickers must
therefore not be removed, as then you and other people cannot be aware of dangers and may be injured.

Note!
Please keep the original packaging in case the applicator must be returned or transported.
!
Attention!
The device as well as the printing materials will be damaged by moisture and wetness.
Only set up label printer with applicator in dry locations protected from moisture and splashes.

3 Operation
3.1 Standard Operation
Check all external connections.
Load the material. Ensure that the locking system is locked Operator's Manual of the printer.
Open the shutoff valve of the air pressure.
!
Attention!
Ensure that the pad is not covered by a label when switching on the printer-applicator system.
Otherwise the vacuum sensor may be calibrated incorrectly.
Switch on the printer.
i
Note!
In the case of the pad being outside the starting position when switching on the printer the print process
will be interrupted and an error message will be shown on the display.
If you push the pause button on the printer the applicator will move into the start position.
The Applicator is ready for work.
Press the feed key on the printer.
A synchronization feed is initiated. The processed labels have to be removed manually. After a few seconds the
printer carries out a short backward feed to position the front edge of the next label at the printing line.
i
Note!
This synchronizing also has to be carried out when the print job was interrupted with the cancel key.
Synchronizing is not necessary when the print head was not lifted between print jobs. This also applies if
the printer was powered off between print jobs.
Start a print job.
Start the labelling process via I/O interface.
Error messages during the labelling process are shown in the display of the printer 4 Error Messages.
3.2 Cleaning
!
Attention!
Never use solvent or abrasive.
1
Clean the outside surfaces with multi purpose cleaner.
Remove dust particles and leftover label pieces with a soft
brush and/or vacuum cleaner.
The slide foil (1) requires regular cleaning as the most dirt
is deposited here.

!
Attention!
Disconnect the printer from the power supply before mounting the applicator!
Ensure the printer is in a stable position!
Connect the compressed air only after mounting the applicator to the printer!
To clean the applicator and printer it is occasionally necessary to turn away or even demount the applicator from the
printer.
Do not adjust the setting screws, throttle valves or other alignment elements. This will enable use of the applicator
directly after cleaning
Turning away and Demounting the applicator
1. To turn away the applicator loosen thumbscrew (5) and swing the applicator to the side.
2. Disconnect SUB-D 15 male connector (6) from the female connector (7) of the printer.
3. Loosen screw (4) and move the locking plate (3) from the hinges.
4. Lift the applicator upward and off the printer.
Remounting the applicator
1. Hang the applicator via the female part (1) of hinges to the male printer mounted hinges (2).
2. Connect SUB-D 15 male connector (6) to the female connector (7) of the printer.
3. To secure the applicator slide the locking plate (3) under the hinge and tighten the screw (4).
4. Swing the applicator to the printer and tighten the thumbscrew (5).

1. Lower the applicator hinges (1) into the
printers hinges (2) effectively attaching the two
components.
2. Pull out the SUB-D 15 plug (6) a little from the
applicator to insert in into its counterpart on
the printer (7).
3. To secure the applicator lock it in place by
loosening the hinge screw (4), slide the hinge
lock (3) under the hinge and tighten the screw
again.
4. Pivot the applicator towards the printer making
sure that the cable of the plug (6) does not get
jammed between the components.
5. Usetheturn-wheelscrew(6)toxtheappli-
cator to the printer.
6. Raise the transportation lock to ensure the
unhindered movement of the lift cylinder.

Figure 12 Stopper/transportation lock as transportation safety
Before the applicators are delivered, a stopper/transportation lock (2) is mounted on the rod (1). With this stopper (2)
the labelling position for the operation mode "blow on" can be adjusted. In transit the same stopper is in the transport
safety position, ensuring that the movement of the tamp is kept to a minimum. For longer transit times a stopper with
a cushion (4) further reduces the impact energy.
Releasing the transportation lock
1. Loosen the screw (3) of the stopper (2).
2. Move the stopper (2) to the top like described in chapter 6.5.
3. Tightenthescrew(3)toxthestopper(2)inplace.

The blow tube (3) can be rotated around its axis. By this principle the direction of the compressed air can be
optimized.
1. Loosen the screw (1).
2. Insert the blow tube (3) as far as possible into the provided slot B (2).
3. Tighten the screw (1) to ensure the blow tube stays in place. Adjustment of the blow tube and compressed air.
5.8 Connecting the Air Pressure
!
Attention!
Performance control and operational settings where tested with an air pressure value of 4.5 bar.
The applicator operating range is between 4.0 and 6.0 bar.
!
Warning!
When connecting the printer to the compressed air the applicator is regard as "IN USE."
Do not reach into the zone of the moving pad and keep long hair, loose clothes, and jewelry away.
