4.4.9 Product length (PRDL)
A start signal can be prematurely triggered by the
shape of the product or reflective surfaces. In such a
case, the product length must be manually set.
Example [81]:
If the product [D] reaches the product sensor [C], a start
signal is sent and the machine dispenses a label. The
recesses in the product trigger additional start signals;
without the PRDL function, the product would be la-
belled several times. With the product length [A] set in
the PRDL function, the machine ignores all start signals
until the product has passed the dispenser head.
In the extended menu:
£ Call up the PRDL function.
£ Set the product length.
– Settings are possible in 1 mm steps:
Minimum: 5 mm
Maximum: 999 mm
£ Confirm the value using the ENTER key and exit the
function.
To set the product length the same as the label dis-
tance:
£ Set the value for PRDL to less than 5.
– The message AUTO appears on the operator panel.
– The control system automatically sets the value for
PRDL to the value of the label distance (LPIT).
