LMG02/12 Series

Label Module

The LMG Label Module is a separate unit that attaches to and works in conjunction withthe Hover-Davis LP Series Label Feeders. LMG Label Modules are interchangeable toallow easy changeover between different label stocks on the same feeder. Each LabelModule is custom designed for a specific label. Therefore, while they all function in asimilar manner, each is slightly unique in the areas of carrier tape handling, labelpeeling, and label supporting for pickup by the transfer machine.

Refer to the documentation provided with the LP Series feeder for label liner loading andoperation instructions.

Timeout DelayChart

POWER SUPPLY TRIGGER BOX

Programming the Timeout Delay

All label feeders have a timeout delay to make sure the feeder willadvance the label to the Pick Point but will not continue advancingindefinitely if there are missing labels on the label stock. If thefeeder reaches the programmed timeout delay before a label hasreached the Pick Point, the feeder will resort to an error mode andwill need to be reset by pressing the Center Button.

This feeder timeout delay is programmable and should be setaccording to the specific label fed by the LMG Module being used.To set the timeout delay, find the model number located on theserial label of the LMG Module. Note the last four digits (YYYY)as shown below.

LMG02-XXXX

Using the chart to the left, match the last four digits of the LMGModule model number to the corresponding four digits on thechart. The number to the right of this is the corresponding offsetthat needs to be used to program the timeout delay. If the fourdigits do not appear on the chart, select the closest, next highestvalue. (For example, for a model number ending with 0728, use0800 on the chart.)

YYYY

Note The Timeout Delay Chart assumes 0.125 in. [3mm] spacing between theconsecutive labels on the liner. Label spacing of 0.25 in. [6mm] or greaterrequires adding (1) to the offset recommended on the chart.

The maximum timeout offset delay that can be programmed is (20).

1. Power up the feeder either on theplatform machine or an offline powersupply.

Each Label Module is custom designed for a specific label. While the basic design is similar and many components are the same, there are also several parts which are unique to the specific Label Module. When ordering parts for the Label Module, always have the Module Model Number and Serial Number available. These can be found on the Serial Label (Item No. 8) located on the front of the Label Module.
