5 OperatingInstructions
The AutoSealer will automatically seal pill cards at a constant temperature and pressure
over a set time –you only need to push two buttons to start the sealing cycle. But before
you do, there are some one-time adjustments you need to make.
1. Remove the AutoSealer from its packing. Save all packaging materials for future use
–in the unlikely event that we need to repair the machine at our facilities.
Replacement packaging is expensive and required for shipping.
2. Plug the AutoSealer into a standard 3-prong outlet. It is recommended to use a
dedicated 20amp outlet.
3. Turn the power switch to “ON” – the red switch light will illuminate.
4. Temperature: Your AutoSealer is pre-set to heat to 315 degrees. Should you need to
adjust this setting (note card type and respective temperature requirement):
a. Push and hold blue set button below digital readout.
b. While set button is pushed in –push the gray up arrow to increase
temperature setting or gray down arrow to decrease.
c. When the digital meter reaches your desired setting release both buttons.
d. Your AutoSealer temperature is set.
NOTE: DO NOT EXCEED THE TEMPERATURE REQUIREMENT FOR YOUR
CARD –THIS WILL POTENTIALLY DAMAGE THE CARD.

5. Time Setting: The AutoSealer can be set to seal packages at 1 to 10 seconds.
Review the chart from the previous page to determine the appropriate time settings
for your medication packaging.
To set time –turn the black numbered dial to the listed time for your respective
card.
You are now ready to begin sealing cards. The temperature and time will be pre-set
each time the machine is turned on. Repeat steps (4) and (5) only to make
adjustments.
6. Place filled sealing paddles (or trays on pressure board) in the AutoSealer. Always
seal two cards, even if second card is empty.
7. Press the two green buttons at the same time; this two-hand action is for safety –do
not attempt to start the sealing process with one hand.
8. When the heat plate releases pull the paddle(s)/trays from the AutoSealer.

7Maintenance
The intake vents on both sides of the machine and exhaust fan at the side of the machine
should be checked weekly. If the filters of the 3 side vents are dirty, remove the media
guards to get to the filters. Once removed they can be cleaned with a mild soap and water.
Once they are clean and dry, replace. Replacements can be purchased from Rx Systems.
Monthly, the cover should be removed to check for dirt and dust. AS ALWAYS,THE COVER
SHOULD NOT BE REMOVED UNTIL THE MACHINE IS COOL (ABOUT .5 HOUR AFTER BEING SHUT OFF)
AND UNPLUGGED.Apply one or two drops of chain saw bar oil (sold by Rx Systems) or
synthetic oil to the hole labeled in the middle of the cross bar.
Check condition of yellow pressure springs (4515).
An air hose or a vacuum cleaner can be used to clean. Always remember to wear the
appropriate eye protection. Care should be taken not to disconnect any of the internal
wiring.
The outside of the AutoSealer can be cleaned with a window cleaner or similar product.
These maintenance suggestions are just that, suggestions. The volume of your work will
dictate how often maintenance should be performed.
