Safety Statements  
The SEAL 44 Ultra laminator has been designed with operator safety as a primary objective; however,  
operators must be familiar with the controls, as well as the operation before using the unit.  
The electrical and drive-system components are isolated from contact with the operator by enclosing  
them within plastic end covers that are bolted on. Only qualified service technicians should remove  
these protective covers after power to the machine is removed including disconnecting the power  
cord.  
Only qualified service technicians should remove covers for service purposes  
Safety Features  
The heating system is provided with an over-temperature device, which will shut off the top roller-  
heating element once a heating system failure occurs.  
The rotation of the rollers will be switched off automatically when the light beam of the self-checking  
photoelectric guard is interrupted. For example, if a panel is too thick relative to the roller nip setting,  
or if a person’s hands or fingers approach the roller nip.  
Once the roller rotation has been stopped and the photoelectric guard has been cleared, a deliberate  
start signal has to be given in order to start the roller rotation again.  
The machine has two emergency stop buttons that may be pressed in dangerous situations. The  
rotation of the rollers will be stopped immediately. After releasing these buttons, a deliberate start  
signal has to be given in order to start the roller rotation again.  
General Hazards  
Danger of getting injured by hot parts  
Be careful with parts marked with this symbol, to avoid burns. The heated top roller may  
have a surface temperature of 135°C (275°F).  
Do not touch the roller. Even after the machine has been switched off, the roller remains  
hot for a long time.  
Danger of getting injured by rotating parts  
Everyone working around the laminator must avoid wearing loose fitting clothing (ties!) or  
dangling jewelry, which could catch in the laminator rollers.  
Failure to use caution near exposed rollers could result in physical injury.

Note:  
When performing procedures that require the side covers to be opened, ensure  
that the power cable is disconnected from the mains. Several parts, like the fast-on  
connector strips of the overtemperature switch (white arrows in picture shown  
below), could cause electrical shock if the power is not disconnected!

Theory of Operation  
3 Theory of Operation  
3-1 Control Knob  
The Control Knob (see figure 1) is located on the  
right hand side of the laminator and is operated  
from the front of the machine.  
The Control Knob can be operated by pushing it in  
approximately 6mm (1/4”) to the left. Once the  
knob has disengaged from the stop, it may be  
rotated forward or backward (clockwise or counter-  
clockwise, viewed from the right hand side of the  
unit).  
Continue to rotate the knob until the desired nip  
setting corresponds with the indicator window at  
the base of the knob. Inside the window, the  
possible rotation directions are shown. Select the  
fig. 1  
value that corresponds to the thickness of the material you will be using with the machine.  
Releasing the knob so that it moves back to the right and clicks into place will set the rollers for use.  
Select the next lower value in case there is no match for the thickness of the used  
substrate.  
Internal functionality  
See figure 2.

Inside the machine, a rod is mounted  
1
2
between the left- and right-hand framesheets.  
The knob is mounted on the rod; it allows  
axial movement, but no radial movement.  
The knob is provided with a pin (1), that falls  
in the indents (2) of a bracket (3). The same  
rod is provided with an eccentric (4) on either  
side of the machine. These eccentrics push  
or pull the arms (5), where the top roller is  
mounted in, upward or downward.

fig. 2  
3-2 Roller Nip settings  
Whenever you mount onto a board, etc., it is important to adjust the rollers to create a gap nearly  
equal to the thickness of the board being used. This is done so that anything passing between the  
rollers will receive the right amount of pressure and prevent damage to the rubber surface of the roller  
(and possibly the board).

Theory of Operation  
3-4 Motor Control  
The speed of the rollers is continuously adjustable between 0 and 1.5 m/min. (0 and 4.9 ft/min.)  
Pressing the key runs the rollers in forward direction, pressing the key reverses the direction of  
the rollers (as long as this button is pressed). The stop key stops the roller movement.  
Slow-mode  
The machine has a so-called slow-mode, which can be activated by pressing the foot switch. To  
maintain slow-mode, keep the foot switch pressed.  
Once the machine is running in slow-mode, interrupting the Photoelectric Cells does  
NOT stop the machine; an audible beep will be heard, and the roller speed will be 0.6  
m/min (2”/min) only. Releasing the foot switch will stop the machine.  
Changing from slow-mode to normal running mode without stopping (to prevent stop  
marks on the substrate):  
During slow mode (keep the foot switch pressed), press the (forward) button on the control  
panel. The machine will run at its pre-set speed.  
Next, release the foot switch.  
Finally, release the (forward) button.  
Changing from normal mode to slow-mode without stopping:  
Press the foot switch  
NOTE: Releasing the foot switch will stop the machine.  
Reversing the machine  
To reverse the rotation of the rollers, press the (reverse) button. As long as this button is pressed,  
the machine will run in reverse direction, at a speed of 0.6 m/min (2”/min) only. Releasing this button  
will stop the machine.  
Care must be taken not to have loose clothing, long hair, jewelry and fingers pinched  
between the pull rollers at the rear side of the machine.  
The rotation of the rollers will stop when:  
The Photoelectric Cells in front of the main rollers are interrupted  
NOTE: This does NOT happen when the foot switch is used (slow-mode)  
An emergency stop button is pressed  
The foot switch is pressed for a short moment  
Excessive unwind tensions are set (the motor will be shut off electronically, press  
the stop button on the control panel to reset)  
The stop button on the control panel is pressed

Theory of Operation  
3-5 Unwind Brakes  
Tighten the unwind brake so that it applies sufficient tension to laminate. Turning the knurled collar in  
a clockwise direction increases the unwind tension applied to the laminate. Turning the collar counter-  
clockwise decreases the tension. The best setting for the brake tension is determined by the materials  
you are using and is learned through experience.  
Note: In general, no or light unwind tensions will be required.

The heating element can now be taken out of  
the roller.  
When a heating element has to  
be installed into the roller, the  
quartz tube has to be cleaned  
first.  
fig. 11  
Proceed as follows:  
Insert the heating element, with the end having the shortest wire, into the roller core. Make sure,  
that the short wire is bent straight, to smoothen the insertion.  
Whilst inserting, clean the quartz tube with a lint-free cloth, lightly dampened with IPA (Isopropanol).  
Do not touch the quartz tube with your fingers!  
This is important, because fingerprints will burn when the heater is on, and can possibly damage the  
quartz tube. See figure 12.  
Always be very careful when using IPA! IPA is very flammable!  
The flash point of IPA is 11°C (51.8°F). The self-ignition temperature is 400°C  
(752°F).  
Once the element is placed in the roller,  
reassemble all parts in reverse order.

Adjustment Procedures  
5 Adjustment Procedures  
5-1 Laminating Pressure  
Note:  
To perform the following adjustments, it is necessary to remove both plastic side covers first.  
See Section 4-1: Disassembly / Reassembly Plastic Side Covers.  
There are two ways to adjust the laminating pressure:  
1. Adjustment using load cells and display unit.  
2. Adjustment using Heat Sensitive Film (JetGuard 5mil or Thermashield 5mil).  
This procedure is preferred if the adjustment has to be done in the field, at the site of  
the end-user.  
Both ways need the following necessary tools: 10mm open-ended spanner, small flat-head  
screwdriver, Allen key 3 mm.  
Approximate time: 15 minutes.  
5-1-1  
Adjustment using Load Cells and Display Unit  
To adjust or set the laminating pressure, a  
Pressure Display Unit is required. These units  
come in various sizes and/or shapes; however, the  
load cells typically look like figure 21.  
The top roller must be at room  
temperature!  
Proceed as follows:  
1. Set the nip setting knob to 10 mm (3/8”).  
2. Remove the support brackets for the Image  
Guide (see figure 22, the RH bracket is shown  
here). The two bolts that have to be removed in  
order to remove the RH bracket, are shown in  
fig. 21  
figure 23 (in later versions of the machine the way these bolts and nuts are mounted, is reversed).  
3. Loosen the adjustment strip on either side of the machine. See figure 23, right-hand strip shown.  
Note that the strips must not touch the top roller bearing housing during the pressure adjustment  
procedure.

Adjustment Procedures  
4. Position the load cells at either side of the rollers, between the journals, as shown in figure 24.  
fig. 24  
fig. 25  
5. Push and rotate the nip adjustment knob until the pin, mounted in the knob, falls into the last notch  
(relative to top) from the indent bracket (see figure 25, white arrow).  
The pressure will be applied to the pressure sensors, and the pressure can be read on the PDU.  
6. To change the pressure, place the 10mm  
open-ended spanner on the M6 nut, that is  
directly under the compression spring (so, the  
upper jamnut, see figure 26, white arrow).  
7. On the left-hand side of the machine, it is best  
to remove the blue connector from the  
overtemperature switch, to ease access with  
the spanner. See figure 10, arrow #1.  
8. Rotate clockwise to decrease the pressure,  
counter-clockwise to increase the pressure  
(seen from top).  
fig. 26  
9. The pressure readout for each load cell (so, for  
either side of the machine) should be 55 kgf (121 lbf). If necessary, change these values as  
described above.  
10. After the adjustment, remove the pressure sensors.  
11. Assemble all parts in reverse order.  
Now, it is mandatory to continue with the Image Guide Adjustment procedure,  
section 5.6

Adjustment Procedures  
5-1-2  
Adjustment using Heat Sensitive Film  
This procedure refers to the pressure adjustment to be done at the customer’s site.  
Note: as this procedure is performed using heat sensitive film (JetGuard 5 mil or  
Thermashield 5 mil), the top roller temperature should be set to 120°C (250ºF).  
1. Remove any film from the machine.  
2. Remove the Image Guide.  
3. Cut several sheets of film from the supplyroll. The offcut size should be 43’’ by 8’’ (so it’s easy if  
43’’ film is used).  
4. Set the nip to its maximum position (10mm or  
3/8’’).  
5. Place two sheets, with their adhesive sides  
facing each other, between the rollers, as  
shown in figure 27.  
43’’  
6. Close the nip, and wait 30 seconds.  
7. Open the nip to its maximum position, and  
remove the sheets. Now, they’re stuck  
together. Mark the sheets (using a felt tip  
pen) how its position was, relative to the  
machine.  
fig. 27  
A small part of the sheets is  
shown in figure 28. The  
footprint (the area where the  
rollers touch each other) is  
very clearly visible, and it  
has roughly a width of  
1

10mm (3/8’’). At either side  
of the footprint, the films are  
molten together partially (2)  
and various air-entrapments  
(3) are visible. The rest of  
the two sheets is still  
roughly  
10mm (3/8’’)

fig. 28  
If the roll pressure is correct, then the footprint looks like:  
The difference in width measured in the middle of the footprint, and 25mm (1’’) from either  
side, must not be larger than 0.5mm (0.02’’).  
If this is the case, the pressure adjustment is correct, and the side covers can be  
assembled.

Adjustment Procedures  
If the roll pressure is too high, then the footprint looks like:  
This is the case if the ends of the footprint (measured 1’’ from either side) are at least 1mm (0.04’’)  
wider than the middle.  
Change the pressure as described below.  
If the roll pressure is too low, then the footprint looks like:  
This is the case if the ends of the footprint (measured 1’’ from either side) are at least 1mm (0.04’’)  
smaller than the middle.  
Change the pressure as described below.  
If the footprint is narrower (or wider) at one end, and the other  
end has the same width as the middle of the footprint, then the  
pressure at only that narrower (or wider) end of the machine  
or  
should be increased (or decreased).  
In general: for either side of the machine counts:  
end narrower than the middle increase pressure at that end  
end wider than the middle decrease pressure at that end  
Changing the pressure  
8. To change the pressure, place the 10mm  
open-ended spanner on the M6 nut, that is  
directly under the compression spring (so, the  
upper jamnut, see figure 29, white arrow).  
9. Rotate clockwise to decrease the pressure,  
counter-clockwise to increase the pressure  
(seen from top).  
Rotate the jamnut only half a turn on either  
side  
10. Make a new footprint (go back to step 5)

Adjustment Procedures  
5-2 Roller Nip  
Note: to perform the following adjustments, it is necessary to remove both plastic side covers first.  
See section 4-1: Disassembly / Reassembly Plastic Side Covers.  
Necessary tools: Allen Key 4mm, a set of metric thickness gauges.  
Approximate time: 5 minutes  
Note: the top roller must be at room temperature, before this procedure is being performed.  
1. Set the roller opening to its minimum position by pushing and turning the nip setting knob fully  
counter-clockwise. (nip 0mm)  
2. Loosen the bolts that hold the adjustment strip in such a way, that the strip can be moved up- and  
downward, but does not slide downward by its own weight.  
3. Place a 0.6mm (0.0236 inch) gauge between the bearing housing and the adjustment strip. See  
figure 30: the white arrow points to the 0.6mm wide opening, caused by the gauge.  
4. Push the adjustment strip upward against the gauge (figure 30) and fasten the M5 bolts while  
leaving the gauge in place. See figure 31.

Adjustment Procedures  
5-3 Temperature  
Necessary tools: Infrared temperature meter, small flat-head screwdriver.  
Approximate time: 30 - 45 minutes.  
1. Set the roller nip to 10mm (3/8’’).  
2. Set the top roller temperature to the 120°C setting on the control panel; the roller is being heated  
up.  
3. After approx. 5 minutes, turn the top roller  
roughly a quarter of a turn, and repeat this  
every 2 minutes, until the green LED, next to  
the 120°C setting, is steady.  
4. Measure the temperature on top of the roller,  
close to the middle of the machine. See figure  
32, white arrow.  
Turn the top roller by hand until you see a  
more or less constant value in the read-out of  
the temperature meter.  
The temperature should be 135°C +/- 4° C  
(275°F +/- 7°F).  
fig. 32  
5. To change the temperature setting, insert the  
screwdriver into the small hole situated in the rear panel. Carefully turn the screwdriver until you  
feel that it snaps into the slot in the potentiometer.  
See the arrow in figure 33.  
6. Rotating clockwise increases the temperature,  
counter clockwise rotation will decrease the  
temperature.  
A five-degree turn of the trimpot will change  
the temperature by approximately 10°C  
(18°F).  
7. After the adjustment, allow the roller to change  
its temperature for some 15 minutes, and  
repeat the sequence at point 4.

Adjustment Procedures  
5-4 Photoelectric Cells  
Note: to perform the following adjustments, it is necessary to remove both plastic side covers first. See  
section 4-1: Disassembly/Reassembly Plastic Side Covers.  
Necessary tools: small flat-head screwdriver.  
The Photoelectric Cells are mounted on the arm assemblies of the upper roller. Viewed from the front-  
side of the machine, the transmitter is mounted at the left-hand side and the reciever is mounted at the  
right-hand side of the machine.  
1. Switch the machine on.  
Caution! The electric parts of the machine are now live. From now on, do not touch any electrical  
components. Do not place fingers between the chain or other moving parts.  
2. See figure 34, white arrow. Make sure, that  
the slit in the mode selector is pointing to the  
‘D’ position (the setscrew is rotated fully  
counter-clockwise).  
3. See figure 35. Rotate the setscrew in the  
transmitter (at the left-hand side of the  
machine) fully counter-clockwise. The  
transmitter will now emit very little light.  
As a result of this, on the receiver (figure 34)  
the red LED will be lit (meaning: there’s no  
signal), and the green LED will be lit as well  
(meaning: the ‘no-light’ situation is stable)  
fig. 34  
4. Now rotate the setscrew on the transmitter  
very slowly clockwise until the the green LED  
on the reciever starts to fade out, next rotate a  
bit further clockwise until the red LED goes  
out, and finally rotate a bit further clockwise  
until the green LED is just fully lit (which is  
only a few degrees more!).  
Note that the red LED gives a faint flash every  
two seconds: this is the self-check sequence.  
The Photoelectric Cells are now correctly adjusted.

See figure 36. If the lower section of the chain  
(black arrow) has more play than 6 mm (1/4’’), then  
the tensioner should be adjusted.  
1. To do this, loosen the M5 socket screw half a  
turn, and rotate the chain adjuster a bit  
clockwise (white arrow).  
2. Tighten the M5 bolt again whilst holding the  
adjuster with the flat-head screwdriver.  
3. Check the play of the lower part of the chain  
again (black arrow). There should be a play of  
roughly 1-2 mm, so the chain must never be  
fig. 36  
too taut.

Replace the plactic covers.  
5-6 Clutch  
Necessary tools: open-ended spanner 19mm.  
Approximate time: 15 minutes.  
Note: to perform the following adjustments, it is necessary to remove the right-hand side cover first.  
See section 4-1: Disassembly / Reassembly Plastic Side Covers.  
To ensure that the film is not slipping between the pull rollers, yet receiving sufficient tension, the  
clutch has to be adjusted properly.  
Proceed as follows:  
1. Set the machine up for encapsulation using JetGuard 5mil gloss or Thermashield 5mil gloss. Run  
the process at 120°C setting, whereas the speed setting should be 2 (which is lower than the  
values on the Process Control sticker!). Don’t process any images.  
2. While the machine is running, turn the large nut (see figure 36, arrow 3) clockwise, until the friction  
discs (arrows 4) are NOT moving in respect of each other. The film, running through the pull  
rollers, may create a squeeking noise now.  
3. Next, turn the large nut slowly anti-clockwise, just until the discs start moving in respect of each  
other again. Continue running the encapsulation process for two minutes to ensure that this  
situation is stable.  
Replace the plactic covers.

To perform the following adjustment, it is necessary to remove both plastic side covers first. See  
Section 4-1: Disassembly/Reassembly Plasic Side Covers.  
Necessary tools: allen key 3mm, gauge 2mm.  
The distance between the upper edge of the Image Guide and the roll surface must be 2±0.5mm  
(0.0787±0.0196 inch), see figure 37.  
1. To adjust the Image Guide, it is  
necessary to position it in front of the  
top roller, onto the two support  
brackets (see arrow #1).  
2. Slide the Image Guide all the way  
towards the roll; make sure that the  
front edge of the Guide is under the  
bolt mounted in the support bracket  
(see arrow #2).  
3. If necessary, loosen the two socket  
screws (arrows #3), that hold the  
support bracket, half a turn. Perform  
this at either side of the machine.  
4. Reposition the support brackets until  
the previously mentioned distance of  
2 mm has been achieved.

6 Maintenance  
Cleaning of the Machine  
The equipment must be disconnected from the mains before cleaning.  
The laminator may be cleaned by the operator with a lint-free cloth, lightly dampened with a mild soap  
and water solution. Spray-on cleaners are not to be used. No part of the machine is to be immersed in  
water or other liquids.  
Do not use an abrasive cleaner, which can damage the painted surfaces.  
Do not allow water or liquids to enter the electrical circuits, which may cause personal injury and / or  
damage the equipment when power is applied.  
Roller cleaning  
To clean the rollers: use the Image roll-cleaner to remove the excess adhesive from the rollers. This is  
done best while the rollers are hot.  
When cleaning the upper roller, place a piece of scrap foam board under the roller  
to prevent the removed adhesive remnants from falling onto the lower roller.  
For adhesive that is difficult to remove, allow the rollers to cool and use isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and a  
clean, lint-free cloth. Never pour isopropyl alcohol (IPA) directly onto the unit.  
CAUTION! Always use care when using Isopropyl Alcohol! (IPA)  
IPA is very flammable. The flash point of IPA is 11°C (51.8°F). The self-ignition  
temperature is 400°C (752°F)  
Unwind Shafts  
Clean the rubber ropes at least once a week.  
If a rubber rope becomes too slack after a longer period of time, unscrew one of the clamps, cut off  
1cm (0.5’’) of the rope, and fasten it again using the clamp.

7 Troubleshooting  
Note:  
The ‘Causes’, as described below, are placed in a logical order of occurrence; please  
follow this sequence in order to solve the problem.  
Problem:  
The power LED does not come on, when the standby pushbutton is pressed.  
Causes:  
The power cable has not been plugged in the mains wall outlet.  
Solution:  
Plug the power cable into the mains outlet.  
The (external) mains circuit breaker is tripped.  
Solution:  
Reset the mains circuit breaker.  
The standby pushbutton is not pressed long enough.  
Solution:  
Press this button for 2 seconds (this is done to prevent accidental switching-  
on of the machine). When it switches on, you’ll hear a short beep.  
The processor, containing the software, is not installed.  
Solution:  
Install the software (see Software Installation, Section 4-4).  
The processor, containing the software, is installed the wrong way around.  
Solution:  
Install the software properly (see Software Installation, Section 4-4).  
The patchcable, coming from the control system board is not connected with the control panel  
PCB.  
Solution:  
Check if the right-hand side cover is assembled correctly (see Plastic  
Covers, Section 4-1)  
There is no secondary (supply) voltage.  
Solution:  
Check fuse F3 (see diagrams 8-1 and 8-3). This fuse is accessible through  
the rear panel. See the Spare Parts List for type and voltage.  
If the F3 fuse is OK, check if the Photoelectric transmitter (at the left-hand  
side of the machine) emits red light: if not, replace the Control System  
Board.  
There is no primary (supply) voltage.  
Solution:  
Check fuse F1 and F2 (see diagrams 8-1 and 8-3). To access these fuses,  
the rear panel has to be removed (see Section 4-3, Rear Panel). These  
fuses are located on the Control System Board (see diagram 8-1). See the  
Spare Parts List for type and voltage.  
The machine is set for 230V whereas the supply voltage is 110V.  
Solution:  
Check the rating label attached on the rear panel!  
Else:  
There is an internal Control System Board error. In this case, check the Miscellaneous Control  
System Board Error Messages list at the end of this section.

Troubleshooting  
Problem:  
The power LED does come on, but it is flashing at a low rate. This is an error-condition.  
Cause:  
The supply voltage is too low.  
Problems like these occur usually if extension cords are used; in particular extension cords, that  
have a (too) low rating. When the heater of the machine is switched on, the voltage usually  
drops.  
Solution:  
Do not use extension cords.  
Check if the power supply of the office/building, where the 44 Ultra is used,  
supplies enough voltage to power the machine.  
For the 110V unit, the supply voltage should lie between 90V and 130V.  
For the 230V unit, the supply voltage should lie between 200V and 250V.  
Problem:  
The power LED does come on, but it is flashing at a high rate. This is an error-condition.  
Cause:  
The supply voltage is too high.  
Solution:  
It’s not likely that this error will occur; however, you should check the rating  
label. If this is a 110V unit that’s attached to a 230V supply, the F1 and/or  
the F2 fuse should blow.  
For the 110V unit, the supply voltage should lie between 90V and 130V.  
For the 230V unit, the supply voltage should lie between 200V and 250V.  
Problem:  
The LED for the Photoelectric Cells on the control panel does not come on; the machine does not run  
forward.  
Cause:  
An object is interrupting the lightbeam.  
Solution:  
Remove the Image Guide (if applicable); check if something is sticking on  
the edge of the infeed table (a piece of paper or tape).  
The Photoelectric Cells are misaligned.  
Solution:  
Perform the adjustment procedure described in Section 5-4.  
The Photoelectric Cells are defective. The green LED on the receiving photocell does not come  
on at all, when the transmitter is set to its maximum position (see Section 4-6).  
Solution:  
Replace the Photoelectric Cells as described in Section 4-6.  
Next, perform the adjustment procedure described in Section 5-4.  
The Control System Board is defective. This is the case if the adjustment procedure is  
functional, but the green LED on the panel still does not come on.  
Solution:  
Remove the rear panel as described in Section 4-3, and replace the Control  
System Board.  
Problem:  
The LED for the Photoelectric Cells on the control panel is flashing.  
Cause:  
The internal self-check signal for the photoelectric cells is not present.

Check the AC voltage on points 1 and 2 on the Solid State Relay. If the  
voltage is close to 0V, while the red LED on the relay is off, change the Solid  
State Relay as described in Section 4-5.  
Problem:  
All three LED’s in the heater section on the control panel are flashing at a fast rate, whether or not the  
heater has been switched on. The top roller is at room temperature.  
Cause:  
The Temperature Sensor is defective, or one of its wires is loose.  
Solution:  
Check the wires, or change the Temperature Sensor.  
Afterwards, perform the temperature adjustment procedure as described in  
Section 5-3.  
Problem:  
All three LED’s in the heater section on the control panel are flashing at a slow rate, whether or not the  
heater has been switched on. The top roller is at room temperature.  
Cause:  
The Temperature Sensor is defective, or its wires are short-circuited.  
Solution:  
Check the wires, or change the Temperature Sensor.  
Afterwards, perform the temperature adjustment procedure as described in  
Section 5-3.  
Problem:  
After stopping a hot lamination process, the LED for the set temperature starts flashing at a fast rate (a  
temperature overshoot occurs).  
Cause:  
This is a normal phenomenon, which occurs more often at high temperature settings or speeds.  
Solution:  
None.

Troubleshooting  
Problem:  
The temperature-ready LED keeps on flashing at a slow rate (after 20 minutes), once the heating has  
been activated.  
Causes:  
The heating element is defective, or one of its connectors had not been installed.  
Solution:  
Check the voltage between point 1 and 2 on the Solid State Relay. If the  
voltage is close to 0V, while the red LED on the Relay is lit, check the wiring  
to the heating element, and perform the Heating Element  
assembly/reassembly procedure, see Section 4-4.  
The Solid State Relay is defective (it has a permanent ‘open’ state).  
Solution:  
Check the voltage between point 1 and 2 on the Solid State Relay. If the  
voltage is close to the power supply voltage, while the red LED on the Relay  
is lit, replace the Solid State Relay, see Section 4-1.  
The overtemperature switch is defective (it has a permanent ‘open’ state; in this case, the line  
voltage can be measured between it’s connectors).  
Solution:  
Check the voltage between point 1 and 2 on the Solid State Relay. If the  
voltage is close to 0V, while the red LED on the Relay is lit, replace the  
overtemperature switch.  
The Control PCB is defective (if the previous checks are OK).  
Solution:  
Replace the Control System Board.  
Problem:  
The quality of the lamination is poor: silvery areas on dark surfaces are visible, or the edges of the  
image are not sealed well.  
Causes:  
The roller temperature setting is too low.  
Solution:  
Check the materials used for the process, and the Process Control sticker  
that is attached on the machine.  
The wrong nip setting has been chosen.  
Solution:  
Measure the thickness of the boards, and set the next lower value on the  
adjustment knob.  
The speed setting is too low.  
Solution:  
Check the materials used for the process, and the Process Control sticker  
that is attached on the machine.  
Increase the speed if necessary.  
The roller pressure is too low.  
Solution:  
Perform the Laminating Pressure Adjustment procedure (see Section 3-1).  
Problem:  
The quality of the lamination is poor: especially laminated inkjet prints show bubbles.  
Causes:  
The roller temperature setting is too high.  
Solution:  
Check the materials used for the process, and the Process Control sticker  
that is attached on the machine.  
The speed setting is too high.  
Solution:  
Check the materials used for the process, and the Process Control sticker  
that is attached on the machine.  
Reduce the speed if necessary.

Troubleshooting  
Problem:  
The quality of the lamination is poor: wrinkles and/or creases show up in the output.  
Cause:  
The laminating pressure setting is wrong.  
Solution:  
Perform the Laminating Pressure Adjustment Procedure described in  
Section 5-1.  
Miscellaneous Control System Board Error Messages  
Error:  
LED no. L6 is NOT lit.  
Cause:  
The +5V voltage is not present.  
Solution:  
Check the fuses F1, F2 and F3.  
If OK, check if there are no loose connections in the cable harness.  
If this is OK as well, replace the Control System Board.  
Error:  
LED no. L7 is NOT lit.  
Cause:  
The voltage for the motorcontroller is not present.  
Solution:  
Check the Emergency Stops.  
If OK, check if there are no loose connections in the cable harness.  
If this is OK as well, replace the Control System Board.
