1: INTRODUCTION The Advent Model 200 was born out of the need for a semi-automatic labeling machine that was simple to learn, operate, adjust and maintain. The Advent 200 offers solid frame design, quick changeover, little glue mess, and unrivaled speed and simplicity. You will find that the Model 200 is easy to learn and to operate, the controls and adjustments are simple to understand. The entire machine was designed to be maintained and operated by one operator. The information set forth in this manual is important for maintaining proper operating efficiency and maximum safety of the operator. When operating any mechanical device including the Advent 200, safety of the operator should always be of major importance. This and other important information will be dealt with in further detail later in this manual. It is extremely important that you read and understand this manual completely before attempting to operate this machine. If you do not understand everything that is written in this manual, please do not hesitate to contact Advent at 800-846-7716. Videos and information are also available at the Advent Labelers website: www.adventmachine.net

3: ADJUSTMENTS 1.

Place the containers between (D) Rear Tires and (E) Front Collars. Adjust the distance between these two rollers so that about 1/4 of the container is below the tops of these rollers. See Figure 2.

2.

Loosen the (C) Label Guides and place one label between (A) Label Feed Plate and (B) Label Feed Tires. Loosen the set screw that holds (A) Label Feed Plate in position and adjust plate so that only one label is allowed to pass between them at a time. See Figure 3. Now place 1/4 inch (6.5cm) stack of label between (C) Label Guides while fanning them out so tat the top labels feeds off the stack first. Up to a maximum of an one inch stack of labels can be placed in the label magazine at one time.

3.

Position the label using the (C) Label Guides so that they are up against the sides of the labels while centering them on the (B) Label Feed Tires. Make sure that the labels slide easily between the label guides and are not too tight.

4.

Position the container to where you want the label to be applied and place the (H) Container Guides up against the top and bottom of the container to hold the container loosely between them.

5.

If the labeling surface is recessed, the (E) Front collars and (D) Rear Tires must be moved to a position that will allow the labeling surface to lie flat on these rollers. If this is not done, the label can never be applied straight. See Figure 3 on next page.

6.

The label length timer adjusts the length of time that the label feed roller turns. The longer the label, the higher the setting on the label feed timer. For most labels a setting between 4 and 5 will be perfect. If the label feed timer is set too high, more than one label may be fed at a time.

7: GLUE POT REMOVAL It is recommended that the hot melt glue be replaced every 6 months or when glue becomes charred whichever comes first.

1.

Glue in machine must be thoroughly melted, usually one hour from turning on heater.

2.

Remove top glue pot covers.

3.

Lift up on handle in front of machine. A leg will drop down to support machine.

4.

Turn machine ON and OFF a few times to remove glue from glue rollers so it won’t drip on the heater plate.

5.

Attach included handles to front of glue pot. The two handles screw into the glue pot.

6.

Have a container, such as a corrugated box with its flaps taped up so the glue won’t leak out onto the floor. Dump the old glue into it. Scrape out the remaining glue with a piece of cardboard.

7.

Replace glue pot and fill it with glue. Glue level should be kept around 3/4” from top of glue cover.

8.

Push back support leg and return front of machine to normal operating position.

Advent 200 Manual Page 8

8: START-UP 1.

Place all switches in the “OFF” position. The red light below the switch will be lit when switch is in the “ON” position.

2.

Plug the electrical cord into a grounded electrical outlet that has 120 volt, 60 Hz. single phase and at least 10 amp. service.

3.

The glue thermostat is set at the factory to 325F. This is the optimum temperature for most hot melt adhesives. However, if a temperature adjustment is necessary, remove the machine cover and locate the thermostat at the back of the machine.

4.

Turn the heater switch at the front of the machine to “ON”. The machine will NOT be ready to operate for a least 1 hour until the glue thoroughly melts.

5.

After the machine has been heating the glue for at least one hour, the “START” switch may be turned “ON”. The rollers should start to rotate slowly at first then increase in speed. If the rollers do not turn at all and the motor is running, turn the machine off immediately and make sure the glue is completely melted. Be aware that the Advent 200 has an ingenious clutch device that prevents damage to the machine if the glue is not melted.

6.

Once the rollers have come up to operating speed, the front metal collars may accumulate a small amount of glue on them. If this happens, stop the machine and apply solvent (CCC509) to remove the accrued glue. Wipe clean with a rag.

7.

Do not apply rags to the rollers while the machine is in operation. They could get caught in the rollers and cause much damage. Always stop the machine when cleaning the rollers. Now you are ready to start labeling.

Advent 200 Manual Page 9

9: MAINTENANCE 1.

Lubricate all bearing blocks with machine grade oil daily. There are two oil holes on each side of the machine. Additionally, there are two oil cups located below that should be topped with oil. (See photographs below) Cover must be removed to oil these lubrication points.

2.

Clean Finger Bar with solvent daily. Use a paper towel with CCC509 solvent to perform task.

3.

Keep glue level 1/4” to 3/4” from top of glue pot.

4.

Avoid the application of solvent directly to the plastic cover. The cover has a protective coating, but this coating can be dissolved if too much solvent is applied to it and not wiped clean.

5.

Do not apply rags to the rollers when the machine is operating. Rags can easily get caught in the rollers and cause serious damage.

6.

Give the machine a general cleaning once a week. Apply a small amount of CCC509 solvent to a paper towel or rag and clean all parts that have a tacky or sticky feel.

11: SAFETY The importance of safety can be overstated. Even the simplest of machinery can cause serious injury if not operated properly. The following are important safety factors to keep in mind when operating the Advent 200. 1.

Never operate the machine with long hair, loose sleeves, neck tie or similar clothing that may get caught and pulled into the rotating rollers of the machine.

2.

Never place fingers or other parts of the body in the hot melt glue when it has been heated. Hot melt glue can cause severe burns.

3.

Avoid touching the machine parts that are hot: Front Metal Collars, Glue Pot Cover and the Lower Feed Table.

4.

Always remove electrical power from the machine when the Plastic Cover is removed for servicing.

5.

Never attempt to move the machine by lifting it to transport it a new location when the glue is hot. The glue could easily be spilt.

6.

When moving the machine while on the included cart, keep the Advent 200 level and move slowly. It is preferable to move the labeler to a new location when the glue is cold.

12: PLASTIC COVER REMOVAL 1. Remove cradle adjustment knob. There are two fallen set screws. Loosen set screws and remove knob. See Figure 1. 2. Grab front and back of plastic cover at the bottom. See figure 2. 3. Pull up on rear of cover. See figure 2. Fig. 1

4. Plastic cover is designed to flex. 5. Front part cover needs to be flexed outward to clear switches on front panel. 6. Cover should be clear of machine. 7. To put cover back on, reverse above procedure with the front part of the cover going on first and then the rear.

ADVENT 200 MAINTENANCE & OPERATION PROCEDURES DAILY 1.

When machine is turned on for operations ensure that the hotmelt glue is at operating temperature, usually 90 minutes. If the Advent 200 struggles to turn or the glue is transferring to the rear, stainless steel collars then the glue is not at operating temperature.

2.

After the machine has warmed-up, clean all rollers and label feed path of any glue or residual stickiness. Advent solvent CCC509 or toluene should be used to remove any adhesive. To clean rotating surfaces, saturate a shop rag or paper towel with solvent and wipe down rotating surfaces. Do not spray or pour solvent directly onto labeler.

3.

Oil the labeler if oil has not been added to the six oil points for a least one week.

4.

Check glue level. Remove glue lid with wood knob. Make sure glue level is approximately ½” from top of glue cover. If glue is low add glue a couple pillows at a time. Make sure not to overfill glue pot. Glue pot has a baffle; so adding cold glue does not affect operation of the labeler.

5.

After the machine has been cleaned, the labeler is ready for operation. Load labels making sure the labels are flagged per instruction manual. Adjust front black knob to move front, white rollers to accommodate container’s diameter. Make sure the container is not touching the brass finger bar and is bring supported by both the front, white tires and the rear, stainless steel collars. Adjust container guides to place label onto the container. Adjust the overhead pressure arm is being used.

6.

With labels inserted in the machine, turn of the Advent 200 and feed a single label by depressing the label activation switch. Quickly grab the label by hand and check the glue pattern. Ensure that there is a complete pattern of strips on the label, with no dropouts or incomplete strips. If using a skip glue plate make sure the leading edge is approx. 2” long and the trailing edge is ½”. A full glue plate will have not have a skip pattern. Check the thickness of the glue on the trailing edge only. The glue should not be dark in color. The glue should be a pale yellow or close to being clear. The thickness of the glue should be no more than the thickness of a tissue paper for most applications.

7.

If the glue thickness is set correct, then proceed with labeling.

8.

Whenever a stack of labels is complete, check the glue level. Depending on the size of your label glue may be used faster or slower. Try to get in the habit of checking the glue on a set schedule based on your glue usage. For example you may determine that a handful of glue pillows need to be added to the labeler every 500 cotnainers or two stack of labels.

9.

When done for the day, simply turn off the labeler.

POINTS TO REMEMBER 1.

If the label is not applied correctly (crooked by more than ¼”), check the glue pattern. Glue should be fairly thin and not dark in color.

2.

Dark color glue usually means the glue is either cold or too thick. If the glue is at the correct operating temperature, adjust glue thickness with the glue adjustment cam located on the right side of the 200 underneath the cover.

3.

If the label stalls and does not wrap around the container, make sure both the label guides and container guides are not too tight. Also if the label is not reaching the container make sure the front timer is set to a higher value. A stalling container also might indicate that the container is too light and requires the use of the overhead pressure arm.

4.

If more than one label is being fed, decrease the value of the front timer.

5.

If glue is oozing or squeezing out toward the trailing edge of the label, the glue is too thick. Adjust thickness of glue or make sure the glue is at the correct operating temperature. Thick glue might indicate cold glue. Most glues should be heated at around 300ºF+.

6.

If glue is accumulating on the rollers, then the glue is probably too thick and is oozing through the edges of the label.

7.

If labels are popping off the container (usually at the trailing edge), then the glue level is probably too low. Check glue level, should be ½” from top of glue pot cover. If glue level is correct then check temperature and thickness of glue.

8.

If the container is wobbling make sure any high points on the container are being cleared by both the rear, stainless steel collars and front, white tires. Ridges and high points on containers should not be touching any of the supporting rollers.

9.

If a container is out of true or is top-heavy, use the overhead pressure arm to steady the container.

10.

The less wobble a container has (or the truer its rotation) the more accurate the label placement.

11.

If the label is jammed or caught in the label feed path, always pull the label towards the front of the machine. Never remove a partially glued label from the back of the labeler.

12.

Make sure the label feed path is free of glue.

13.

Clean the label feed tires only with rubbing alcohol pads or water. Never solvent.

14.

If labels are no longer being fed by the label tires (even after cleaning), replace the tires with new tires. Label feed tires are part# 25-001.

LABEL FEED TIRE REPLACEMENT ADVENT 200 SERIES The Advent 200 and 205 have 3 to 5 label feed tires. These tires grab a single label and feed it through the machine. The cellulose material will begin to lose friction over time as dust dirties the tires. If wiping down the tires with water does not improve label feeding nor moving the pressure finger closer to the center label feed tire, replacment of the tires will be necessary. Follow the steps below to replace the label feed tires. You will need the provided allen wrench tool to perform the replacement. The replacment part number for the label feed tire is 25-001. It is recommened that 3 tires be kept onhand. As noted above, the label feed tire can be cleaned with a damp cloth. DO NOT USE CCC509 HOTMELT SOLVENT TO CLEAN THE TIRES.

STEP 3: Loosen the set screws of the label feed tire hubs and slide shaft to left till all the label feed tires are removed.

CENTERLINE

STEP 4: Remove the old feed tire and slip the new feed tires onto the hub. No glue necessary. The tire should fit tightly onto the hub.

STEP 5: Slide the feed tires with hub onto the shaft. Push shaft all the way to the right and fit clutch mechanism. Make sure the brass washer is fitted onto the shaft between the frame and gear. The clutch mechanism should be free of oil, dirt or grease. Clean if dirty.

STEP 6: Position new feed tires. The center tire should always be set on the centerline of the machine directly behind the pressure finger. Adjust the pressure finger so there is moderate friction on the new tire. Make sure the set screw of the hub is tightened on the flat of the shaft.
