Unpacking
Thoroughly inspect the equipment and packaging immediately on arrival.
Carefully remove the outer protective shipping wrapper. Inspect the machine for any
damage that may have occurred during transit. If goods are received short or in
damaged condition, it is important that you notify the carrier’s driver before they leave
your company and insist on a notation of the loss or damage across the bill of lading.
Otherwise no claim can be enforced against the transportation company. Please note
that a copy of this document is attached to the outside of every crate.
If concealed loss or damage is discovered, notify your carrier at once and request,
insist, on an inspection. This is absolutely necessary. A concealed damage report must
be made within ten (10) days of delivery of shipment.
Unless you do this, the carrier will not entertain any claim for loss or damage. The agent
will make an inspection and grant a concealed damage notation. If you give the
transportation company a clear receipt for the goods that have been damaged or lost in
transit, you do so at your own risk and expense.
All claims must be filled within five (5) months of the delivery date or the carrier will not
accept them.
We are willing to assist you in every reasonable manner to help you collect claims for
loss or damage. However, this willingness on Eastey’s part does not make Eastey or its
parent or related companies responsible for collections or claims or replacement of
equipment damaged or lost in transit.
Loading and Unloading Instructions
The machine is fully crated on pallets.
Use a forklift with adequate capacity to lift the machine from the pallet.
(Forklift extensions may be required to repack equipment.)

14 Installation
Installation
Lift the machine up and off of the shipping pallet.
CAUTION! The VSA series L-sealer is heavy and will require a forklift,
floor crane, or several people to move safely off the shipping
pallet. Use proper equipment when lifting the L-sealer and
ensure it is secure and will not shift while being moved off
the shipping pallet.
Place the sealer in the desired location with the required electrical power source
available. (See power requirements for the specific model in the Specifications table.)
Make sure the electrical wiring is adequate to provide the required voltage. If the voltage
provided is too low, the equipment will not operate correctly.
Selecting the proper location is one of the most important considerations for initial
setup. When selecting the location, take into consideration the following factors.
1. Adequate power supply nearby?
2. Where is the sealer in relation to the power source?
3. Where is the sealer in relation to the tunnel and any conveyor(s) necessary to
move the wrapped product? (Alignment with packaging line.)
4. Convenience for the operator.
If there is any doubt, get qualified assistance with your initial installation.
Location Requirements
When installing the L-sealer please be aware of the following considerations:
1. The surface on which it is located is flat and level.
2. Conveyor or packing table height.
3. Alignment with packaging line.
When the L-sealer is positioned in the operating location you will need access to:
1. Control panel switches: On/Off switch, dwell timer, conveyor timer.
2. Height and width adjustments.
3. Film unwinder.

Installation 15
For units equipped with a takeaway conveyor at the exit of the L-sealer, provision
should be made for exiting packages. For example, a table or bin where packages that
have been sealed will be placed until they can be picked up, or a conveyor that will
move them to the tunnel.
If the L-sealer is part of a longer packaging line, take into consideration the table and
conveyor height in relation to adjacent machinery.
The machine should be placed on a flat, level floor so that it does not rock or move. We
recommend that the machine be securely locked in place when used.
Set up the L-sealer and move it to its location. The casters allow easy movement over
smooth flat surfaces. If you need to lift the unit to move it, you will need to use a pallet
jack, floor crane, or fork lift to move it to its location.
CAUTION! If the L-sealer must be lifted for moving, use proper
equipment when lifting and moving it to ensure it is secure
and will not shift.
When the L-sealer has been moved to its location, use the levers on the casters to lock
the wheels to prevent rolling and keep the unit in place. A power cord (with optional
electrical plug) should be installed by a licensed electrician.
CAUTION! Before operating, ensure the following.
1. All shipping ties are removed.
2. All personnel are clear of the equipment.
3. Electrician has stated that all electrical work is complete.
4. Adjust all controls according to the settings sheet.
Refer to instructions in the Operation section for instructions to power up or shut down
the machine.

16 Operation
Operation
The main power switch is located on the door to the electrical panel,
which is under the product intake conveyor and film inverter.
Control Panel
Controls other than the main power switch for the L-Sealer are located
on the hinged control panel attached to the sealing area enclosure, near
the top and center of the machine.
Operator’s Panel —The operator’s panel is a fully functional color touch screen. A
technical name used for this is the Human Machine Interface (HMI) It displays current
status information and displays buttons for configuring and controlling the system and
obtaining system messages and status information. More detail about using the
Operator’s Panel is explained in the following pages.
T.D. Thermo —Temperature controller for the L-Sealer heat element that is aligned
cross-wise or transverse to the Machine Direction. More specific information about
setting the T.D. temperature controller is provided in the pages following explanation of
use of the Operator’s Panel.

M.D. Thermo —Temperature controller for the L-Sealer heat element that is aligned
with the Machine Direction (M.D.). More specific information about setting the M.D.
temperature controller is provided in the pages following explanation of use of the
Operator’s Panel.
Start —Green light indicates the machine is powered on and ready for operation or
operating. Press to start automatic operation once operating parameters have been
defined using the Operator’s Panel.
Stop —Press the Red button to stop automatic sealing in a normal non-emergency
situation. The Red Stop button illuminates red indicates automatic sealing has been
stopped.
E-Stop Button —In the event of an emergency, press in the large red mushroom
shaped E-Stop button. This brings the system to a halt in a way to avoid damage or
excessive film waste. In addition to the E-Stop on the Control Panel, there is also an E-
Stop at the outer corner of the machine at the Infeed end of the machine. To return the
machine back to normal operation, turn the activated E-Stop button so both E-Stops are
out, and then press the green Start button.
Main Power Switch —Use to turn main power to the automatic L-sealer on or off.
CAUTION! When the power is turned on be aware of sealer hot surfaces
and moving belts and rollers.
Other Features
Film Unwinder —The film unwinder is located behind the product infeed conveyor and
film separator/inverter area, behind and to the right of the L-sealer enclosure.
Pin Perforator —The pin perforator is inside the film unwinder. The Pin Perforator is
synchronized with the film during normal operation. It creates holes in the film (To allow
air to escape during shrinking). The lever on the outside of the Film Unwind at the rear
of the infeed end is the Perforator Release Lever.
Perforator Release Lever —The Perforator Release Lever allows the perforator to be
disengaged temporarily when necessary to allow the film to be threaded.
Infeed Conveyor —The infeed conveyor is used to facilitate insertion of the product
between the bottom and top layers of film and transport the product into the seal area.
Width and Height Adjustment —The infeed conveyor is adjustable for width to
achieve proper placement of the total width of the package, thereby allowing the product
to be placed precisely in the seal area and film each time. Infeed film height adjustment
allows the height of the upper film inverter triangle to be changed for differing heights of
product.
