INTRODUCTION
The Label-Aire model 3115NV is a high speed label applicator used to apply pressure sensitive labels to
moving products of the same size, such as packages on a production line. It is essentially a self contained
module that may be mounted in almost any position adjacent to the production line, to apply labels to the
top, sides, or bottom of packages as they pass by.
Labels are supplied on rolls that consist of a web on which the labels are maintained by their adhesive
until peeled from the web during application. In a typical set-up, a photoelectric sensor detects the leading
edge of a package and the applicator applies the label, with placement accuracy typically within ± 1/32
inch.
The 3115NV is standard with 1500 inch/minute web speed. Slower web speeds are provided for wider label
capacities.
For safe trouble free operation, the instructions in this manual must be carefully followed during set-up,
operation, change-of-rolls, cleaning, and maintenance. Also the specified environmental conditions must be
maintained.
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY: 108-132 Volts, 5 Amps, 54-60 Hertz, Single Phase
A three meter long, three wire cable with 1.00mm² conductors rated at 10 amperes (in accordance
with CENELEC HD-21) is provided for the electrical connection to the IEC 320 receptacle of the
applicator. The end of the power cord is terminated with a NEMA 5-15 plug.
OR
207-253 Volts, 5 Amps, 47-53 Hertz, Single Phase
A three meter long, three wire cable with 1.00mm² conductors rated at 10 amperes (in accordance
with CENELEC HD-21) is provided for the electrical connection to the IEC 320 receptacle of the
applicator. The end of the power cord is unterminated and must be fitted with an appropriate plug at
installation
ENVIRONMENT: Operating temperature: 40-104 degrees F Humidity: 20-95% RH, Non condensing

NOTE: The model 3115NV is not intended to be operated in an environment
where flammable or explosive gases are present. The 3115NV is not
to be used in direct contact with food products.
READ THE INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY. This manual includes all of the information that you'll
need to set-up the applicator under normal operating conditions. The instructions include important safety
precautions which must not be ignored.
READ THE INSTRUCTIONS IN ORDER. The instructions are written as numbered steps that will take
you safely and efficiently through the set-up process. Any steps performed out of sequence may result in
a hazard and the applicator may not operate properly.
UNDERSTAND THE TERMS USED. Although this manual uses few technical terms, some vocabulary
may be new to you. Most of the words are defined the first time that they are used. If you don't know
what a word means, check the Glossary.
WORK CAREFULLY. Although setting up the machine is not difficult, it does take time. Do not rush
through the process: careful work will produce good results.
TRY AGAIN IF SOMETHING DOES NOT WORK. Although a machine malfunction is possible, most
problems happen because the machine is not set-up right. If the machine doesn't operate correctly, back up
and try again.
KNOW HOW TO FIND WHAT YOU NEED. This manual contains all of the information needed
including a Table of Contents, Table of Figures, Glossary, and Index. Use these tools to locate
information quickly.
UNDERSTAND OUR TYPOGRAPHIC CONVENTIONS. Machine keys and switches are designated by
brackets: "Press [FEED]," means "Press the feed key." Messages shown on the microprocessor display are
shown by type style: THIS TYPE STYLE INDICATES MICROPROCESSOR TEXT.
NOTE: Paragraphs that are in this style give information to help handle special circumstances,
or re-emphasize important information.
FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. The model 3115NV applicator has been provided with a
number of safety features. Observe all safety warnings and under no circumstances attempt to remove or
defeat safeguards or operate the machine in a manner contrary to the instructions.

NITIAL WARNINGS
The model 3115NV has been designed with the safety of the operator and service personnel in mind. Proper
safety features have been incorporated and the applicator safety tested to assure safety if used as intended.
Refer to the CAUTIONARY SYMBOLS AND PICTOGRAMS definitions on the preceding pages.
A risk assessment has been conducted which indicates most hazards identified by the machinery
directive to be low to nil risk. Apparent moderate risks were determined to be:
The Web Drive Rollers
The potential for finger pinch exists between the drive and pinch rollers. Keep hands
clear of the drive and pinch rollers whenever the machine is ONLINE.
Enclosure
A potential for electrical shock exists if the cover is removed. The cover must not be
removed except by a qualified service person. The power switch is to be turned OFF
(O) and the power cord removed prior to removing the cover.
Environmental Exclusions
The model 3115NV is not intended to be operated in an environment where flammable or explosive
gases are present. The 3115NV is not to be used in direct contact with food products.

APPLICATOR POWER CABLE
Do not connect the machine to the AC
p
ower source until directed to do so in the
set-up procedures.
115V applicators are shipped from the factory with a six foot three pin power cord. One end plugs into the
IEC receptacle on the side of the applicator. The other end connects to the customer's properly grounded
and polarized power outlet.
Figure1115VPowerCable
220V applicators are shipped from the factory with an unterminated power cord. An appropriate grounding
p
olarized plug will need to be installed on the power cord. Use the drawing below to wire in the appropriate
grounding polarized plug for use in your facility.
