About the warning labels

Foreword

The warning labels indicate when there is a danger of injury to the operator or damage to the ma-chine.

Below is a list of what each label denotes.

Caution Minor injuries or damages to the unit may occur when the instruction is ignored.

Warning Critical injuries or fatal accidents will almost certainly occur when the instruction is ignored.

Danger Critical injuries or fatal accidents will almost certainly occur when the instruction is ignored.

Attention! Important Notes and Restrictions - Read the directions in order to avoid misuse of the unit.

TIPS Great Tips and References when using the unit - Highly recommend reading through the information.

Before using, always verify the voltage specification of your particular unit and operate it at the correct voltage.

Please note the following:

1) The voltage specification of your unit is listed on the label which displays the serial number. This label can be found on the machine body.

2) The explanations and illustrations in this operators' manual utilize the following standard plug configurations most common in Japan. However, due to the various configurations in use worldwide, these may not necessarily correspond with the one attached to your specific unit.

100V15A以下

200V20A

100V20A

200V30A

100V20A、30AWarning Voltages and plug configurations differ according to various worldwide specifications.

Always verify those of your particular unit before beginning operation. Connecting the power cord to an outlet of a different specification is extremely hazardous.

Thank you for purchasing the Fuji Impulse PTT-100V. Please read all of the safety and operating instructions before operating this machine. Periodic maintenance and proper operation are necessary to ensure safety when using PTT-100V.Keep this manual on hand when operating the sealer. As a result of research to further improve the PTT-100V, some details in the operating instructions may differ from your actual machine. For operating problems or product information, please contact your local dealer or Fuji Impulse.

Operate the machine as described in the following safeguards. Fuji Impulse shall not be responsible for any damages results from the misuse of the machine against this operating direction.

3 Operating Precautions

Warning

･ This machine consists of the high performance sensor and electric circuit that is applied by the distortion gauge. Avoid rapid temperature change, high humidity, water, dusts, and strong shock.

･ This machine is tensile load measuring equipment. Do not use the machine other than measuring tensile load.

･ The operating temperature range for this machine is from 5 to 40 degrees C (41 to 104 F). For accuracy, it is ideal that the machine is used in the temperature described in the certificate of inspection.

･ Regardless of the power being ON or OFF, do not twist or apply force exceeding rated capacity to the sensor measurement axis.

･ When tensile testing the material that might break or whose fragment may scatter, please operate the machine after making sure to protect yourself from getting injured.

･ Do not disassemble or modify the machine.

･ Remove the thin-film grip on the measurement-side when not using the machine in order to prevent the damage to the measuring axis.

Surrounding temperature and humidity

Place the machine on a flat place

Do not set the machine to the following places:

Please use the machine in the following work environment.

Place the machine on a flat, horizontal working table. Placing the machine on an unstable place may affect the precision of the test result due to the instability.

･ Exposed to the direct rays of the sun or the heat source.･ Exposed to continuous vibration caused by machines.･ Close to the noise generator such as high voltage products and power source.･ Exposed to the strong electromagnetic pluses.･ With rapid temperature change, high humidity, the dust, and surrounded by the corrosiveness gas.･ Unstable to place the machine.

<Others>･ For more accurate measuring, operate the machine in the temperature described in the certificate of

inspection.･ When installing the machine to the place where humidity is less than 30%, please use products such as

an anti-static mat to prevent static electricity.･ Condensation occurs when the machine is exposed to the rapid temperature change. If the condensation

occurs, leave the machine in the new environment more than one hour before using. Use the machine after confirmed that there is no condensation.

Please set perform the initial setting of the machine with the following directions.

PTT-100V can register the Administrator ID and Operator IDs. Inspection can be performed without registering the IDs. In that case, however, please note that the inspection modes and other setting can be changed by anyone. Also the output data to the PC will be “OPERATOR” as the operator name.

When only the Administrator ID is registeredWhen only the Administrator ID is registered, the inspection modes and other settings can be changed only by those who know the Administrator password. The output data to the PC will be “ADMINIST” as the operator name.

When both the Administrator and Operator IDs are registeredWhen both of the Administrator and Operator IDs are registered, the inspection modes and other settings can be changed only when the Administrator is logged in. Operators cannot change the operation settings. When the error message is shown on the display, only the Administrator can resolve the problem. The output operator name to the PC will be the Operator name activated during the operation.

When the Operator IDs are registered without activating the Administrator IDWhen only the Operator IDs are registered, each setting menu can be changed by those who knows the Operator passwords. The output operator name to the PC will be the Operator name activated during the operation.

Press the MENU and key so that MENU 1 indicated above is shown on the display.

Press the ENTER key. The display will show the following.

The setting is activated. Note that inputting “0” will deactivate the setting. If you would like to continue setting an Administrator password, go to the next process without pressing the ENTER key.

Please not the following conditions when doing so:･ Insert the specimen so it stays within the

width of grip. Inserting it slantwise or not inserted correctly will negatively affect the test result.

･ The load cell (sensor) may damage if a force exceeding rated capacity is applied to the measuring axis. Be careful when attaching the thin-film grip on the measurement side.

･ When testing the sealed film, be cure that the sealing surface comes in the middle of the grips.

How to use the clamping-type grip1 When the lever is lifted up, the grip is open. Lift

up the lever to insert or remove the specimen.

2 Push the lever lightly to clamp the film.

･ The grip is designed to apply the fixed clamping pressure regardless of the film thickness. Clamping pressure adjustment is not necessary.

･ The grip stops at the grip stopper position when it is pushed down to the horizontal level. The film is firmly clamped at this position.

･ When the thick film is clamped, the lever becomes hard to push down.

･ The grip is designed to clamp the film with the thickness from 0.04mm to 0.2mm.

Caution The sensor (load-cell) may damage if the lever is pushed too strong.

Caution Be careful as pushing the lever too hard will turn over the lever.

Grip opens when the lever is lifted up.
