AIR REGULATOR
Turn your attention to the side where the air regulator is mounted (see Fig 18).
The Air Regulator is used to raise or lower the air pressure to the machine. This
will allow the R-310 to run connected to virtually any clean air source depending
on how much Air pressure is produced by your compressor. It is also used to
stay within the recommend air pressure of the machine 20-40PSI, 5CFM.
Note: The R-310 is designed to label a variety of items from very small up to and
including a Full Gallon jug. The Air regulator would also be used to increase air
pressure to raise a heavy Full gallon jug. By the same token if a small vial were
being labeled, not nearly as much air pressure would be needed to lift an item
that weighed a few ounces or less. You want the carriage to rise smoothly and
stay engage with the driver roller to insure proper labeling. Then again you don’t
want it to rise so fast that it bang’s against the driver roller and cause damage to
your product or the machine.
The Air pressure takes a few seconds to increase so don’t turn the knob ‘F’ too
much. Also a small amount of turn may increase the pressure a lot.
Turn the regulator knob ‘F’ slowly a ¼ turn and pause a few seconds watching
the gauge as it rises. Try to label the product and then repeat as necessary.
Turning the regulator a small amount then pause.
Adjust knob ‘F’ clockwise to increase air pressure, counterclockwise to decrease
it, watching the Air pressure gauge ‘E’.
