Set-Up Procedure
Tape Loading
The HSD®2000-ET II /2’’Tape Heads accommodate 2" wide Tape rolls and HSD®2000-ET II
/3’’Tape Heads accommodate 3" wide rolls. Check the Tape Head Manual included with your
Carton Sealer or the Tape Head label on the side of the HSD®2000 ET II Tape Head to
determine which Tape Head you are using. Push the roll of tape onto the Mandrel with the
adhesive side up (refer to Threading Diagram on the HSD® 2000 ET II tape head) until the
core seats against the Mandrel flange. This ensures the tape will be centered when feeding into
the tape head.

UDM108-01 16 RSA2024-TB/2”
Set-Up Procedure
Tape Threading - Upper Tape Head
Remove the blade guard from the knife in the Tape head. NOTE: TURN OFF ELECTRICAL
POWER SUPPLY AND DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD FROM THE
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY BEFORE BEGINNING TO WORK ON THE TAPE HEADS OR
TO LOAD TAPE. IF POWER CORDS ARE NOT DISCONNECTED, SEVERE INJURY
TO PERSONNEL COULD RESULT. THE KNIFE CONTAINED IN THE TAPE HEAD
IS EXTREMELY SHARP. USE CAUTION WHEN REMOVING THE BLADE GUARD
AND THREADING THE TAPE TO AVOID PERSONNEL INJURY. To thread the tape
into the Upper Tape Head you do not require any special tools. Pull approximately 12" of tape
from the roll and fold in half. This allows you to thread the tape without it adhering to the guide
and clutch rollers inside the tape head. Follow the Tape Threading Diagram on the side plate of
the HSD
®
2000 Tape Head. See your Tape Head manual for further information if required.
Tape Threading - Lower Tape Head
Lift Top tape Head Box to the uppermost position by activating the “BLOCKED” selector
switch on the control box. Remove the Lower tape Head by grasping the tape application rollers
and lifting straight up. Remove the blade guard from the knife in the Tape head. NOTE: THE
KNIFE CONTAINED IN THE TAPE HEAD IS EXTREMELY SHARP. USE CAUTION
WHEN REMOVING THE BLADE GUARD AND THREADING THE TAPE TO AVOID
PERSONNEL INJURY. To thread the tape into the Lower Tape Head you do not require any
special tools. Pull approximately 12" of tape from the roll and fold in half. This allows you to
thread the tape without it adhering to the guide and clutch rollers inside the tape head. Follow the
Tape threading diagram on the side plate of the HSD
®
2000 Tape Head. See your Tape Head
manual for further information if required. Replace the Lower tape head in the machine. Turn off
the “BLOCKED” selector switch.
Electrical Connection
A twelve (12) foot standard three conductor power cord with plug is provided for 115 V, 60 Hz,
15 amp electrical service. The servicing receptacle must be properly grounded. Before the
machine is plugged into the receptacle, ensure that all materials are removed from the machine.
Note: Use of an extension cord is not recommended because of voltage drop.
The electrical control is protected with an
automatic circuit breaker with re-settable
overload. This reset is located in the electrical
box in the lower left quadrant (Fig. 9). Push
on the blue button to reset.
Figure 10

UDM108-01 17 RSA2024-TB/2”
Air Connection
The regulator has a male "quick disconnect" adaptor. Connect clean dry compressed air to this
adapter. The RSA2024-TB requires a minimum of 3 C.F.M. at 75 psi maximum.
To regulate the air pressure, pull on the
green knob located on the side of the
machine. Turn the knob clockwise for
more pressure and counter clockwise for
less. When the air pressure is at 75 psi,
push back down on the button until a
"click" is felt. The threading size is 3/8
NPT.
Pneumatic Adjustment
The main air filter/regulator controls the air pressure going inside the machine. It also controls
the air pressure inside the cylinders that rise the Top Belt Drive Assembly and open the infeed
guides. The recommended pressure setting for the main air filter/regulator is between 60
and 70 PSI.
The Infeed Guide Pressure is controlled with the pressure regulator located at the infeed end of
the machine, under the left hand Side Cover (Item 24 on the Bottom Belt Drive Structural
drawing). By increasing the air pressure, you increase the centring force of the guides on the
box. The recommended pressure setting for the Infeed Guide regulator is between 30 and
40 PSI.
The weight of the Top Belt Drive Assembly on the box is controlled by the High Flow Pressure
Control located at the discharge end of the machine, under the left hand Side Cover. This
controls the air pressure at the bottom of the cylinder and counterbalance for the weight of the
Top Belt Drive Assembly. Therefore, to reduce the weight applied on the top of the box, you
have to increase the air pressure. . The recommended pressure setting for the High Flow
Pressure Control is between 35 and 45 PSI.
Figure 11

UDM108-01 18 RSA2024-TB/2”
