Holder using the screws provided.
2. Slide the "Quick-Chuck" and Flange Assembly onto the CAT-40G Motor Shaft
allowing for clearance to the Chassis and Motor Screws. Tighten the Allen screw
to secure the "Quick-Chuck" and Flange Assembly onto the flat part of the Motor
Shaft
3. Set the CAT-40G in place near the label exit slot of the printer.
4. CAUTION: AVOID ACCIDENTS. THE CAT-40G WEIGHS APPROXIMATELY
13.6KG (30 POUNDS), SO CHOOSE ONLY A STURDY SURFACE ON WHICH
TO SET THE UNIT.
5. The CAT-40G is bi-directional. It can rewind labels in either direction.
6. Verify that the "DIRECTION" Switch on the CAT-40G Control Panel is in the
"OFF" position.
7. Plug the Power Plug at the end of the wire on the AC Wall Transformer into the
CAT-40G Power Input Jack. Plug the AC Transformer into an appropriate AC
power outlet.
8. The unit is now ready for use.
POWER REWINDING:
1. Place the "DIRECTION" Switch on the CAT-40G Control Panel in the centre
"OFF" position.
2. Slide an empty label core onto the CAT-40G "Quick-Chuck".
3. Feed the label web from the printer under the Sensor Arm (TA only) and onto the
rewind core, and secure it with a piece of tape.
4. Place the "DIRECTION" switch in the desired position to rewind the labels.
5. Advance the "TORQUE" Control about 1/3-rotation from fully counter-clockwise
as an initial setting.
6. Start your printer and observe how the labels are being rewound.
7. Adjust the "TORQUE" Control as needed to provide more or less rewind force.
The CAT-40G's amplified-torque motor will provide a nearly constant rewind
speed as the roll diameter grows. If necessary, adjust the rewind TORQUE
setting.
EXTERNAL HALT CONTROL:
The External Halt Control jack on the CAT-40G is for use with external devices
capable of providing an open circuit halt command. A 3.5mm control cable is
necessary for use (not included).
Use of the External Halt Control circuit is optional. With No Connection (nothing
plugged into the External Halt Control jack), the Rewinder will function as described
above.
With Pin 2 and Pin 3 of the External Halt Control circuit closed (connected together
using a 3.5mm dual circuit plug), the CAT-40G will operate. When the External
Circuit is opened, the CAT-40G will stop.
