APPLICATION NOTES
Intended Purpose
Applicators of type LA-BO are additional units for print-and-apply or labelling heads that are listed
in the section Machine type on page 5. They take self-adhesive labels from the dispenser mech-
anism and stick these onto moving or non-moving products.
The LA-BO is mounted to the print-and-apply (ALX 92x) or labelling head (ALS 20x/256) by means
of an included base plate. The applicator is controlled by the optional Applicator Interface (AI) board
(mandatory for ALX and optional for ALS) or by the Internal Applicator Interface (ALS only). The
electrical connection to the LA-BO is done via a plug connector. The drive is provided by com-
pressed air.
Remark: The optional Applicator Interface (AI) board is not included with the LA-BO and has to be
ordered separately with the print-and-apply or labelling head.
The application process is triggered by means of a product sensor, which is also connected to the
AI-board.
Installation position
Permissible installation positions for the LA-BO are:
•Vertical, if application takes place from top to bottom (also referred to as “top labelling”: the
product is located below the applicator) or from bottom to top (also referred to as “bottom label-
ling”: the product is located above the applicator).
•Horizontal (also referred to as “side labelling”: the product is located next to the applicator)
System Requirements
Machine type
The LA-BO can be operated on the following machines:
By ordering the specified part number, you will receive a LA-BO applicator with installation material
and connection cables, suitable for installation on the device type listed at the beginning of the line.
The Applicator Interface (AI) board is not part of the delivery and has to be ordered separately.

ALX 924/925/926 LH A8679 AI a / b / c
a) Use of the AI is mandatory for ALX.
b) The Applicator Interface (AI) is not contained in the scope of delivery and has to be ordered
separately with the ALX or ALS unit. A5032 : AI factory installed, A5207: AI Upgrade kit.
c) ALX 924/925/926 has to be equiped with standard dispensing edge.

Firmware
• Required version of the ALX 92X firmware: V3.30 or later.
• Required version of the ALS 20X/256 firmware: V1.17 or later.
AI
The printer-dispenser must be equipped with an Application Interface (AI) board version V1.11 or
later.
Start signal
The start signal must be connected to the Product sensor input of the AI interface. When the Inter-
nal Applicator interface on the ALS is used, the startsignal must be connected to the M12-connector
“ Start” .
See service manual ALX 92x/ALS 20X/256/256, ‘Applicator Interface’ topic section, chapter ‘In-
terface signals’, ‘Product Sensor’. For using the M12 connector on ALS see Service manual ALS
20x/256 ‘ Connecting the sensors’.
Properties
LA-BO = Label Applicator – Blow On.
The applicator is driven by compressed air. The label is held to the aluminium grid on the bottom
side of the applicator by an inwards airflow created by a fan on the side of the applicator.
Mode of Operation
The fan in the LA-BO is continuously powered, creating a strong inwards airflow through the alu-
minium vacuum grid at the bottom side. While a label is dispensed, the small blow pipe is activated,
creating a small focused air stream to force the label against the aluminium grid. When the label is
fully dispensed, it is held onto the aluminium grid by the inwards airflow and is then stand-by to blow
off the label. When the application cycle is triggered by the product sensor, a high volume air pres-
sure is applied through the air nozzles built-in above the aluminium grid. The nozzles which are
not covered by the black sliding bars will now blow off the label towards the product at a high ve-
locity. After that, the next label can be dispensed on the grid.

PRE-INSTALLATION OF THE
LA-BO ON THE ALX 92X
When the ALX 92x does not have the 3 required mount-
ing holes for the LA-BO, the holes have to be drilled in
the ALX 92x.
1. Remove the back-covers of the ALX.
2. Because holes have to be drilled in the ALX, cover
the inside of de ALX with cloth so that no chips will
be left behind in the ALX that could cause trouble.
3. Drill the holes from the inside of the ALX. Mark the
centres for the 3 holes (see the drawing [1] on the
next page).
4. Drill the holes (Ø 4,1), make sure that all the chips
are removed.
5. Cut the M5 thread (3x).
6. Clean everything.
7. Replace the back-covers. The ALX is now ready to
mount the LA-BO.

REPLACING THE FAN
1. Dismantle the LA-BO from the baseplate by un-
screwing the M6 bolt [2A].
2. Unsrew the 4 M3 bolts [3A] on both sides of the
blow unit.
The unit with the fan is now loose.
Due to the leaf spring it is possible that the
housing of the fan is difficult to remove.
3. Disconnect the power connector of the fan.
4. Unscrew the 4 parkers and replace the fan.
Make sure that the wires of the fan are on top.
5. Connect the power cable. Place the unit back in to
the housing and screw back the M3 bolts (4x).
6. Mount the LA-BO back on the base plate.
7. Turn the ALX/ALS on. The fan of LA-BO should
work again.

remove the front plate.
3. Push the slide bars in the home position, the grid is
closed.
4. Remove the damaged slide bar with a screwdriver
and a 5 mm key .
5. Replace the damaged slide bar. Make sure the cor-
rect slide bar is replaced as there is a difference in
width between the centre- and side-bars.
6. Replace the front plate with the M3 bolts.

REGULAR MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning the machine, turn the machine off
and unplug the power cable.
The LA-BO is designed to be maintenance-free. How-
ever, service the unit regularly in order to ensure relia-
ble long-term operations results.
Depending on operating conditions, following cleaning
is recommended at least once a week:
Remove paper remains
• Wipe the paper residue from the LA-BO.
• Check the applicator and accessories for damage.
The pneumatic equipment
Care and maintenance
If there is a condensate level at the marking, empty the
condensate manually.
Unscrew the outlet at the bottom of the filter regulator
anti-clockwise, as seen from below. The condensate
will then flow out. Tighten the outlet screw again.
