!
Before an F-36 PRO Laminator can be installed there
are a few requirements that must be met. Make certain
that each of the requirements listed in the following
preinstallation checklist are met before beginning
installation.
CAUTION
#+
❏ Are doorways and hallways wide enough for the
laminator to be moved to the installation site?
❏ Is there ample room for the laminator?
A work area must be established that allows for
operation in both the front and the rear of the
machine and provides space for efficient material
flow. Figure 2-1 shows a typical machine area lay-
out.
❏ Is the environment appropriate for the laminator?
The laminator requires a clean, dust and vapor free
environment to operate properly, such as an air
conditioned office area with forced 10% make up
air. However, the laminator must not be located
where there is air blowing directly on it. Major
fluctuations in temperature and humidity are to be
avoided.
WARNING
CAUTION
❏ Is there an appropriate power source available and
has a certified electrician been contacted to wire
the laminator directly?
The laminator requires 30A single phase service
and a power receptacle that accepts a 30A 250V
NEMA L6-30P plug or, in Europe, 3 phase, 240/
400 VAC with 20A per phase. See Figure 2-6 for
power cord connection options.
CAUTION
Failure to follow the preinstallation checklist can
result in damage to the laminator.
The operating environment must be free of dust,
flammable liquids and vapors. You can be
injured by inhaling chemical vapors. Vapor build
up or stored flammable liquids can cause a fire.
Excessive dust can damage the laminator.
Do not locate the laminator where air is blowing
directly on the machine. The air flow can cool the
rolls unevenly and result in poor quality output.
Position the jumpers as shown in Figure 2-6 for
service choice.
