EHA Transprint HP 2010
Chapter: User manual Version: 01 Date: 02-12-2016
File: BAL-QS-004/ENG Page 12 of 23 Release: M. Klein
Operating conditions
Temperature: 10°C ~ 50°C (50°F ~ 122°F)
Do not expose the machine to direct sunlight; the temperature increase
may affect the final product.
Humidity: 30 % ~ 85 %
The humidity should ideally be maintained at 55% (no condensation).
Dust: Prevent a dusty environment. Since the films are easily electro
statically charged, they could attract dust. Work clean and tidy.

plug in accordance with the type plate.
The installation should only be carried out by qualified personnel.
Make sure the supplied voltage is within the required tolerances.
The connecting cable for the power supply has to be connected properly
(CE plug 230 V, 16 A, 2-pole).
1. Connect the cable for the power supply to a suitable socket (230 Volt).
2. Check if the correct fuses according to the electrical circuit diagram are installed and if
these are in working order.

6 GENERAL OPERATION
6.1 Start up
Turn the heating on for about 30 minutes in advance of using the machine to
ensure that the roller has the required temperature and is well heated
through.
► Only connect the power cable to a 230V, 50/60Hz socket, secured with a 16A fuse.
► Connect the power cable.
► Set the On / Off switch in the "I"-position (see capture 6.10).
► Select the temperature setting (see chapter 6.11)
Now all functions are put into operation.
► The roller rotates (depending on the choice of automatic or manual heating, see chapter
6.10.1 / 6.10.2) and the roller is heated to the selected temperature.
► The preset temperature of about 195°C is reached in approximately 7 minutes.
► After about 23 minutes the roller is sufficiently heated.
► The machine is now ready for use.
► All electrical and mechanical safety features must be in place and functional.

6.2 Insert foil
.
If the machine has already been in operation and the working
temperature has been reached the roller and the roller heating cover will
be hot.
► Pull the power plug of the machine before working with the foil.
► Insert the foil roll on the unwind shaft to the right of the roller, so that the foil runs to the
left.
► Feed the foil under the spring loaded in feed plate, put the foil under the roll around the
square bar, over the round bar, further around the next guiding shaft to the wind up unit.
►Attach the foil on the bottom left to the core already fitted on the wind up shaft by means
of sticky tape.
► Press the guiding flange against the core to clamp the core to the shaft.
► Align everything straight and free of wrinkles in the foil!
► Load the foil roll on the unwind shaft with a guiding flange.
► Clip on the pressure spring. Pretension the pressure spring with the adjusting ring so far
that the winding motor can not pull the foil roll straight.
►Connect the power cable.

6.3 Prerequisites vehicle number plates
The vehicle number plates must be:
►equipped with hp-resistant reflective foil.
►uniformly shaped, straight and flat.
►have a top surface that is clean, dry, and free from dust and grease.
►at least 20°C (Room temperature).
►the roller operating temperature is about 195°C.
6.4 Hot stamping - normal operation
►Place the vehicle number plate on the table on the right and position it against the guiding
strip.
►Fully pull down the roller lever. (The wind up motor is turned on automatically)
►Push the vehicle number plate(s) to the roller until the plate is fixed and pulled through
the roller.
►Stay clear of the roller with your fingers.
Risk of being trapped!
►The next plate(s) can be fed into the machine. Remove the finished plates from the left
side.
►Put the roller lever back into the upward position after the hot stamping operation (The
wind up motor turns off automatically).
Brush off the loose pieces of foil from the plate if necessary.
6.5Changing the foil
►Put the second roll of foil on the outer unwind shaft right.
►Unwind the foil for a short distance and attach the foil to the first foil by means of sticky
tape in front of the spring loaded in feed plate.
►Cut the first foil over the mend.
►Unwind the foil by rotating the wind up shaft manually until the foil is positioned
underneath the roller.
►Load the foil roll on the unwind shaft with a guiding flange.
The machine is ready for use again.
6.6 Powering down the machine
►Manually turn off the machine (see chapter 6.10.1/6.10.2).
The heating is turned off.
Be aware that all machine components close to the roller will remain hot for
a considerable time during the Cooldown phase. Danger of burns!
