1.0: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION
 The equipment described in this manual is covered with fix panel (only opened with a tool) that
provide protection from electrical components and most of mechanical motions. However,
there is four (4) belts that can be exposed to the user. ALWAYS turn OFF the machine before
approaching hands from every motion part to remove a jam, service or clean the machine. Go
against this notice can result in a severe injury or death;
 Special attention made to ensure that the operation of the machine is safe and convenient
without compromising the efficiency. Keeps hands away from the mechanism that break the
clips apart. Keeps hands and clothes away from the working area of the machine;
 Keep hands away from the working machine. Do not force through remaining gaps;
 If the system is linked to another machine or install onto another machine. Lock the electrical
box of the other machines before performing any maintenance on this equipment. Please refer
to the local regulations and laws on locking out machinery. Go against this notice can result in
a severe injury or death;
 When working on the electrical components. Disconnect the equipment at the source and use
a lockout device to avoid any risk of danger. Make sure you also have the space required to
complete the work to avoid any risk of danger.
 Any modifications with any aspect of the mechanical, safety, electrical design, design, or any
parts connected with the equipment will void the warranty and liability of KLR Systems. If a
change is required, contact KLR Systems for approval. All technical handling must be done by a
qualified technician or by KLR Systems;
 KLR is not responsible for any abuse, mishandling, misuse, improper maintenance and repair
by owners and users;
 Equipment must be supervised when operating;

CAUTION
 Safety switches: DO NOT bypass any safety components for any reason. Violation will void all
warranties and responsibility from KLR Systems. If a safety component is broken, it must be
replaced before starting the machine;
 Safety panel (fix panel) or safety doors: As a safety, component does not try to remove or
unscrew them unless it is necessary for a maintenance operation. If it is the only option, use a
lockout device during this procedure and reassemble every single piece as it was when finished;
 When the machine is set to interlock mod, that means the KLR.950 run command and speed is
controlled by another equipment. Careful when handling the equipment because it may start
when you do not expect it. ALWAYS keep hand away from belts and mechanisms even when
the machine is stopped.

guides on both sides to prevent product going into the system. Those guides should at least be present
until the bag tail is engaged into the KLR.950 bag closer machine. These is another view on the next
page. Dimensions are in inches

Advanced parameter is locked when turning ON the machine. "Parameters" button can be relock
manually. Locked parameters is shown by a pad lock icon.
Follow these steps to reach the advanced parameters such as delays, speed, timing, etc. Unlocking the
advanced parameters is also changing permission in the printer configuration to do major changes.

2. Enter "user name", "password" by pressing their blank space and press LOGIN.
5.2.2: Interlock mod
The interlock mod would be activated when the bag closer is slave of another piece of equipment. That
means the bag closer receive from the other machine a signal when to run with at what speed. See
"Configure interlock" for more info. In this mod, speed and ON/OFF button would not be active.
5.2.3: Information screen

icon if the PLC read succesfully the sensor.
5.3: Load and unload clips
1. Turn ON the switch in the back of the equipment.
2. Add a clip roll onto the clip holder. Clips opening must be oriented toward the belt carriages. See
installation procedures to know how to correctly position the clip holder according if it is a left or
a right version.
3. Secure the clips with the back end inserting until it goes into the plunger clearance.
4. Remove the date sticker off the roll and keep the clip in the hand.

5.3.1: Clips run out
In case the bag closer run out of clips, a pop-up message will show up saying "Bag trigger jam". If the
machine is in the interlock mod, it will send a signal to the bagger a stop request.
5.4: Ink jet printer configuration
Note:
This section is only for the machine that has the
KLR.937
"
ink jet printer
"
option
(
see KLR.937
manual). Moreover, "air printer" is another option available on this equipment. To have more
information regarding to air printer, (see KLR.930 manual).
Press PRINT CONFIGURATION button.
5.4: Turn ON the machine
 Turn power ON;
 Change the speed of the belts according to the speed of the conveyor;
 Press ON/OFF button;
 Important: Stay close by and inspect the first couple products.
5.4.1: Adjustment
During running, you may notice some irregularity or unproper closing, here is what to do to fix these
problems quickly:
1. Clip is too close to the product: unscrew the angle bracket and rotate the machine slightly
toward the exterior of the conveyor;
5.5: Advanced parameters
See "Unlock advanced parameters" to know how to reach this section. There is some configuration
available on the first page. To change one of them, press the number itself. When finished, press
LOGOUT to relock the parameters.

5.5.1: Breakoff delay
Time the machine is waiting before breaking the clip after the bag sensor as been triggered. However,
the machine is only starting this delay when the sensor is triggered back off (at the end of the bag).
When the bag is lifting the sensor finger, the sensor is sending the signal. A too short value will result in
a bag not completely fitted in the clip. On the other hand, a too long value will retain the product and
leave it sideways.
5.5.2: Feed after lead qty
When the user is loading clips into the machine ("load" button), it will count this number to present one
clip in the receiving position. 4 is the factory setting. If the machine is equipped with a printer (ink jet or
air printer), the value will affect how many clips it needs to print as well.
