Installation of your Binding Machine
Installation of your binding machine will depend on how you plan to use it and the
resources available in your bindery.
Therefore, the installation information should be considered as a guideline and
recommendation rather than exact instructions. Contact James Burn International if
you have any queries about installing the machine.
Choosing a Location for your Binding Machine
You should choose a site within the office that is solid, level and rigid enough to keep
the machine accurately aligned, even while it is running, and place it in a position
which ensures the most efficient work flow.
Floor Plan
The approximate floor area that is required for the binding machine is 2.5 x 1.0
metres.
Power Points
You should ensure that 16 amp electric connection points with earth are provided
nearby.
WARNING
Ensure that the voltage setting on your binding machine conforms
to the supply rating. See Electrical Installation Notes at the end of
this section. 2 Versions 100-120 Vac 50/60Hz or 200-240 Vac
50/60Hz, 16 Amps with Earth singlephase.

WARNING
Avoid violent or sudden movement when moving the machine, otherwise
it may fall causing property damage and/or personal injury. Therefore
when you are moving the machine check that it is stable. The machine
weights 277Kg (610lbs).
Unbolt the retaining straps holding the machines feet to the base. At least 4
persons are required to removing the machine from the pallet. All the coach
bolts at the appropriate end of the pallet should be removed. The support
underneath the base can now be carefully removed, and the pallet tilted to
allow the machine to be slowly rolled off the now sloping base. The pallet
should be retained for future use.
Place the Wire-O Bind in situ.
Plug in the IEC mains cable and the footswitch. Switch on the WOB3500
using the black isolator switch on the right hand side of the machine. The
screen should illuminate and display the opening screen.

Protection of persons
Operators’ safety with RCCBs, RCDs and Circuit breakers.
Definitions- In the following text ‘RCCB’ is used for ‘Residual Current Circuit
Breaker’, RCD is used for Residual Current Device and CB is used for Circuit Breaker.
Protection of persons and animals –
The Inverter Drives, Programmable Logic Controllers and Switch Mode Power
Supplies, all use high value capacitors in their internal circuit design. This fact may
cause false tripping on power up. It is highly recommended that “Pulse current
sensitive RCCD” and “Type C” circuit breakers be fitted in your mains power
distribution panels, to protect the machine, operators and service staff and to reduce
false tripping to a minimum.

3. How to Select the Correct Size of Wire-O
WOB3500/MesDocuments/Corinne/Notices/WOB3500/Anglais 13
Wire-Ois supplied in eleven different sizes for the WOB3500 binding machine. These
range from 1/4” and 11/4” sizes and are available in a variety of finishes and colours.
Request a brochure from James Burn International or your agent for the complete range.
Wire Sizes
The wires are numbered according to their size in sixteenths of an inch, e.g. wire
size 9 corresponds to 9/16” and wire size 6 corresponds to 3/8”.
The size of the wire required is obtained in the following manner.
Using the Following Formulae:
Imperial:
All 3:1 Pitch Wire Size = Book Thickness in inches + 1/16”
(and 5/8 wire)
All 2:1 Pitch Wire Size = Book Thickness in inches + 1/8”
(except 5/8 wire)
or
Metric:
All 3:1 Pitch Wire Size = Book Thickness in mm + 1.6mm
(and 5/8 wire) 25.4
All 2:1 Pitch Wire Size = Book Thickness in mm + 3.2mm
(except 5/8 wire) 25.4
Where the precise size is not available the nearest oversize wire can be used.
Example:
A book has a total thickness of 6mm, adding 1.6mm and dividing by 25.4 gives
0.3 inch. Therefore, No.5 - 5/16” - (8mm) wire can be used. (see table below).
