REWIND CONTROLS:
The torque and direction of the rewind shaft
are adjustable by the controls on top of the
machine. You can change the direction of the
rewind shaft for wind-in or wind-out functions.
The rewind tension is adjustable with the
torque potentiometer. The right switch gives
the choice between having the rewind motor
active continuously or switched. DO NOT
APPLY EXCESSIVE TORQUE. If the rewind unit gets noisy, it is most probably due to
excessive rewind torque.
It is recommended to tension the web before pressing the START button.
WARRANTY:
See attached Warranty information.
MAINTENANCE:
Your PM-300-CS-STEP requires no preventive maintenance but the rollers and capstan
should be cleaned regularly.

Reel-to-Reel “Constant Speed” System
PM-300-CS-STEP with optional PC-3 dual-function counter
and Encoder.
The PM-300-CS-STEP has a nominal maximum speed of 40cm/sec. The speed
is adjustable on the front panel. The "1 by 1" mode is activated by a switch on
the rear panel.
Optional counters can be fit to the system:
▪The PC-2 is a pre-set label counter that allows stopping the machine after a
pre-set number of labels.
▪The PC-3 has the same counter and pre-set possibilities as the PC-2 but
can also be programmed to indicate the speed at which the web is moving.
A separate sheet describes the programming details for this counter.
Optional encoder: Resolution 2048 DPI.
WARNING!
This Product is for indoor use only.
Not for use in wet locations.

SPECIFICATIONS:
Max. Label Roll Weight: 6Kg.
Max. Label Roll Size: 300mm diameter.
Speed: Adjustable from 0 to max. 40cm/sec. Accuracy: +/- 5%.
The speed specification applies for a machine used in normal
office room temperatures. An optional encoder is available.
Take-up reel: The take-up torque is adjustable and it is possible to select
wind-in or wind-out
Power Supply: 230V –50-60 Hz. AC Input. 150 watts. (110V optional)
SET-UP:
1. Connect the unit to a 230V mains using the supplied power cord. The ON/OFF switch
is located near the power inlet. The machine is protected by a fast-blow fuse of 3.15A
and a spare fuse is provided in the fuse holder.
2. The speed of the machine is set at 40cm/sec, when shipped.
3. The machine is fitted with 2 photo-switches positioned left and right from the
speed control roller. The left-side photo-switch is used for the “out of paper”
function. The right-side photo-switch detects the labels and is used by the
internal counter; the signal is also available on the interface connector.
FRONT CONTROL PANEL:
POWER (GREEN):Indicates power is applied to the unit.
The ON-OFF Power Switch is on the rear of the Unit.
ERROR / STOP (RED):Indicates that either the unit is in
STOP mode or one of the two Error Conditions has
occurred:
1. The unit is Out Of Paper.
2. The counter has reached the Pre-Set Value.
1 BY 1 (RED): Indicates that the "1 by 1" mode has been
selected by the switch on the rear panel.
GAP (YELLOW):Flashes when Unit is running, indicating proper detection of the Gap
between successive Labels.
START BUTTON (WHITE):Start printing, if no Error Condition is present.
STOP BUTTON (RED):Holding down this button will stop the machine when the next gap
passes in front of the photocell.
SPEED CONTROL: Varies the speed from zero to maximum.
LEFT SIDE CONTROL PANEL:
TEST: Green LED
ADJUST: Potentiometer.
RESET: Only if optional counter is
fitted. The new left-side control panel
has three items. The toggle switch
(reset) is a momentary closing switch
that has the same function as the reset
button on the counter, but is more
convenient for the operator.
ADJUSTING THE LABEL DETECTOR PHOTOCELL (RIGHT PHTOCELL):
The label detector photocell has been adjusted at the factory (potentiometer fully CCW)
and requires no adjustment for a large variety of labels. However, some specific labels
(very transparent or relatively opaque backing paper) might require adjustment of the
photocell.
Load a roll of labels on the machine, and position the backing paper in front of the
photocell. Make sure that the labels are tensioned when doing the test. The LED should
light on. If not, rotate the potentiometer till LED goes on “green”. Now put a label in front
of the photocell, the LED should turn off.
CONTROLS & HEAD CONNECTOR ON FRONT OF THE UNIT:
Signals: ENC A and ENC B: Square
wave 0 –15V.
Linear encoder resolution: 40 or 80
microns (depending on model).
Gap: Open collector (15V).
Advance "1": Pulse 12V to 15V
(The pulse length should be
shorter than the time it takes to
advance one label).
Busy: Output: 15V when motor is
running. 0V when stopped.
