Original Printed in English MODES The bagger has four distinct operating modes: Manual, Auto, Filler, and Auto Filler. Manual and Auto modes are built into the machine and require no optional equipment or changes to the Factory Configuration. Filler and Auto Filler are optional and must be setup in the Admin and Setting II Screen. To better define these terms, a Filler is a machine such as a weigh scale, vibratory bowl, or infeed conveyor that will fill the open bag with product, prior to sealing the bag. A Filler requires the use of Handshaking I/O between the bagger PLC and the Filler, so that the Filler will know when to deliver product to the bagger and the bagger will know when to cycle. The term AUTO refers to how the bagger cycles. If the machine cycles bags continuously without the operator manually initiating each cycle start, not including the first bag out, then the machine is cycling automatically (AUTO). If each bagger cycle requires the operator to manually press a cycle start button, foot switch, etc., then the machine is said to be cycling in Manual Mode. MANUAL MODE Filler = OFF Auto = OFF Both the Filler and Auto buttons are OFF at the HMI. In manual mode, the operator hand loads or fills each opened bag and then cycles the bagger. The operator initiates a cycle by one of these methods:  Pressing the Cycle pushbutton on the HMI  Operating the Foot Switch In manual mode, the machine cycles one bag at a time. Cycle rates in this mode are largely dependent upon the loading speed of the operator. Filler Mode Filler = ON Auto = OFF With Filler ON and Auto OFF, the bagger will run in “Filler Mode”. This mode cycles a single bag out each time and requires the operator to initiate a Cycle Start for each bag. In this mode, a filler device or machine does the actual loading or filling of the open bag. The Filler uses handshake signals to synchronize with the bagger for product delivery. A bagger output, signals the Filler to deliver product and a bagger input, signals when the Filler is done. For example, Filler Mode could be used when an operator is hand loading literature after the infeed conveyor delivered its separate part or com- ponent. Ready for Filler (O-13) – The bagger PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) turns on this output as follows:  The machine has successfully completed a cycle and presented a new bag. Once the above condition(s) is (are) met the PLC program turns on O-13, essentially telling the Filler device that a bag is present and ready to be filled. The filling device releases its product into the open bag. Filler Done (I-11) - The Filler device will turn on the bagger PLC input I-11. This signals the bagger that the filler has completed delivery of the product. The filler machine must include a dry contact isolation relay for its signaling device to ensure electrical isolation between the Filler and the Bagger PLC. THEORY OF OPERATION INTRODUCTION 1-6

Original Printed in English  The filler function has a separate detailed specification, “Sharp Packaging Filler Handshaking”. The spec- ification covers all Sharp Baggers and includes signature sign-off lines so that Filling machine vendors are in 100% compliance with this specification. This also ensures proper operation of a complete system. AUTO MODE Filler = OFF Auto = ON With Filler OFF and Auto ON, the bagger will run in “Auto Mode”. In Auto Mode the machine operator manually fills the opened bag, while the machine cycles automatically. The Auto Dwell time is adjustable using the numer- ic entry box located just to the right of the AUTO button. The operator initiates the first bag out and Auto Mode is immediately activated. When the bag is opened, the operator loads the bag (Auto Dwell Timer is timing). When the timer finishes, the bagger automatically starts the bagger sealing cycle and feeds out the next bag. To cancel Auto Mode, the operator can press the Reset Button on the HMI. AUTO FILLER MODE Filler = ON Auto = ON With Filler and Auto both ON the bagger will run in “Auto Filler Mode”. In this mode a Filler device is used to both fill and automatically initiate the next cycle. This is accomplished by means of hand-shaking I/O provided in the bagger's standard control interface. The Filler device must comply with the “Sharp Packaging Filler Handshaking Specification” . Parts Counting Filler = ON Auto = ON/OFF Parts Counter = ON Target Count – The numeric entry next to the “Parts Counter” button is the Target Count and is adjustable from 1-999. This button and numeric entry is located on Settings 2 screen. Actual Count – The numeric entry next to the “Parts Count” displays how many parts have been counted. This number resets to 0 once the bagger cycle is initiated or if Part Counter is turned off. This value can be edited from the dashboard. The bagger has a setting for counting parts. Parts Counting mode is used in conjunction with the Filler mode. When the parts counter is turned on, the bagger counts each part as it is being loaded into the opened bag. When the terminal count is reached, the Filler Trigger signal is turned on to start the Filler Drop Timer. Parts can be loaded and counted in the following ways: Filler An automatic filling Machine can deliver one part at a time and signal the bagger using the “FILLER DONE” input I-11. The bagger will count each rising edge of I-11 as a single part. When the parts counted equals the target value, the filling cycling is completed and the bagger will automatically cycle after the drop timer has expired. Hand Loading THEORY OF OPERATION INTRODUCTION 1-7

Original Printed in English Batch Counter Target Count – The numeric entry next to the “Batch Counter” button is the Target Count and is adjustable from 2-9999. This button and numeric entry is located on Settings 2 screen. When the actual count equals this target, the bagger will be inhibited and cannot be cycled again until this counter is Reset. Actual Count – The numeric entry next to the “Batch Count” displays how many bags have been sealed. The count will be incremented each time the seal bar has retracted. This value can be edited from the dashboard. Batch counting allows a customer to make a run of products to a particular quantity and then stop the machine. To use this feature the operator should cycle the first bag out into the loading position and then reset the actual count to 0. Consecutive Seal Bags Mode This is a special operating mode that allows multiple filled and sealed bags to be connected together in a contin- uous strip. There are restrictions and limitations to this feature. This mode requires that the customer pay partic- ular attention to keeping the drive rollers cleaned and in good condition. Dirty drive rolls can result in loss of reg- istration and slipping. The following settings pertain to this function: Consecutive Bags This maintained button turns on the function. Number Of Bags This numeric entry determines number of bags that will connected together in the strip. The maximum setting is limited to 20 consecutive bags or 50 inches of total strip length, whichever comes first. The operator can enter the desired number of bags, however if the total strip length exceeds 50, the PLC will recalculate the Number of Bags value to limit the total length to 50 inches. Bag Length Setting Measure the perf to perf distance of the bags and use this value for the Bag Length setting. Use the Seal Offset setting to adjust the sealing point on the strip of bags. Consecutive Bags Current Count The dashboard screen will display the current count value. This value will increment at the end of each bag feed. The consecutive bags counter will reset if there is any fault as the strip of bags is being made. Green Light – In Cycle OFF indicates the following information:  The bagger is not ready for the next cycle to begin due to a fault condition, power is removed, etc. FLASHES at a steady rate, light is on for 0.5 seconds and off for 0.5 seconds, to indicate the following:  The bagger is ready to cycle and is WAITING for a cycle start input from either the operator (Foot Switch, Optical Palm Buttons, Cycle Start) or a Filling Machine (Filler Done Input). STEADY ON indicates the following:  The bagger is in cycle. A bagger cycle consists of the following general functions: 1. Seal the existing bag. THEORY OF OPERATION INTRODUCTION 1-8

Original Printed in English 2. Separate the sealed bag from the web. 3. Feed out a new bag. 4. Open the new bag for filling. Note: Filling of the opened bag is a separate operation and is not part of the bagger cycle. Red Light – Fault This light is steady ON if the bagger has an active fault condition. A fault is a condition that detects a significant problem and stops the machine if it is cycling. The fault condition must be corrected and reset before the next cycle can be initiated. Power-up Lamp Test When master control power is turned on the Stack light tower will go through a lamp test sequence for 4 seconds to verify that the each light is functioning properly. The sequence is: Green On Red Off Green On Red On Both Off Both On Test Done THEORY OF OPERATION INTRODUCTION 1-9

Original Printed in English PERMISSIVES & SPECIAL CONDITIONS This section describes Permissives and Special Conditions. In general terms, a permissive is a condition that must be TRUE in order to permit or allow a particular operation to take place. All options must be configured. All optional features must be selected or configured before they can be turned on. By default if an option is not selected its function will be turned off. Ready to Cycle Permissive All of the follow conditions must be true before the machine will cycle:  The Jaw must go through a homing cycle on each power-up.  The bagger cannot be faulted.  All Bagger motions must in their home position  Jaw is opened to the Pass-Thru position  Print Head is raised.  Printer not in cycle  Batch Counter NOT done.  If the batch counter function is on and the counter has reached its terminal count, then the counter must be reset before the bagger can cycle again Product Delivery Permissive The PLC program of the Filler Machine is required to have a permissive contact directly in series with its real world output address that controls the product delivery to the bagger:  Permissive contact must be programmed N.O. (normally opened)  Permissive contact shall consist only of the real world PLC input address mapped to the “Ready For Filler” output from Sharp Packaging.  Permissive contact may not be from an internal memory coil, timer bit, or any PLC logic associated with the operation of the Filling Machine.  Filler PLC may never turn on the Delivery/Dump output unless the Permissive is ON. Intermittent Filler Sequence is as follows:  Bagger is manually cycled to feed out the first bag.  Output O-13 turns on when a bag is opened and the bagger is “Ready for Filler”. The Filler must always monitor this signal.  Filler completes product drop or delivery and turns on I-11 input.  When Sharp PLC receives the I-11 Filler Trigger, it will turn off the O-13 output.  Sharp PLC starts a Drop Time Delay to allow for product to drop into the opened bag. When Drop timer expires, bagger is cycled and the next bag is fed out to make ready. THEORY OF OPERATION INTRODUCTION 1-10

Original Printed in English Infeed Option The bagger can be configured with an optional Infeed to automatically deliver product into the opened bag. The device can be selected as a Filler The general Filling machine can take on many variations and is usually sup- plied by another company. Filler This selects an independent, automated device that will deliver product to the Sharp bagger and can provide digital I/O signaling to the bagger, i.e., bowl feeder, conveyor or weigh scale. Filler Drop Time Filler Drop Time is user adjustable time delay that provides a sufficient amount of time for the part to fall from the filler device into the opened bag and past the pressure bar. It can be adjusted from 0 – 9.99 seconds. Typically the bagger is setup to run in Auto Filler Mode, so that when the Filler Drop Timer expires, the next bagger cycle will start. Filler Handshaking Specification This document is intended to be an agreement between Sharp Packaging Systems and parties that design and manufacture equipment which will be interfacing with the Sharp product line. It describes multiple variations of interfacing options. The interfacing option chosen will be application dependent. Filler Definitions Filler: An independent, automated device that will deliver product to the Sharp bagger and can provide digital I/O signaling to the bagger, i.e. bowl feeder, conveyor or weigh scale. Intermittent Filler: This type of filler is characterized by asynchronous cycling action. The filling ma- chine will hold or manage its product until it is instructed by the Sharp Bagger to deliver the product. The timing of the filler delivery is determined by the length of time between bagger cycles. Intermittent Fillers are only per- mitted to deliver product between bagger cycles. Examples of intermittent fillers include linear weigh scales, indexing infeed conveyors and bowl feeders. Handshaking Signals Definition O-13 - Ready for Filler: This is an output that signals the filling machine when the bagger is ready to ac- cept product delivery. This signal must be continuously monitored by the filling device. The signal is presented as a N.O. dry contact closure to provide electrical isolation between the two systems. The contacts will be closed when O-13 is on and will open when O-13 is off. Intermittent Applications – O-13 cycles from OFF to ON with each bagger cycle. It goes HIGH when a bag has been fed out into the filling position. It goes LOW if the bagger receives a valid I-11 Filler Trigger signal OR if the bagger is faulted and unable to automatically cycle. I-11 – Filler Trigger: This is an input from the filling system telling the bagger that the filler has complet- ed its product delivery. The bagger will provide a suitable drop delay to account for the last part clearing the bag- ger funnel before cycling. The filler will present this signal to the bagger as a N.O. dry contact to ensure electri- cal isolation between the two systems. Filler Trigger should be switched on immediately at the point in time when product delivery is completed. Intermittent Applications – The Filler PLC program should reset I-11 Trigger Filler when it sees that O-13 Ready For Filler has transitioned from ON to OFF. 1-11 THEORY OF OPERATION INTRODUCTION

SETTINGS SCREEN 1 Bag Length This refers to the usable area inside the bag. This is measured from the bottom of the bag to the seal. The typical setting is 0.5" less than the measured overall bag length. When using sharp bags, enter the length shown on the box or roll label. Seal Offset Distance The offset distance moves the seal point down from the nominal (zero offset) position. At zero offset, the seal is approximately 0.5 inches below the perforation. The pressure bar will make contact with the filled bag just below the perforation. As the user adds Seal Offset, the seal moves down. Feed Speed This setting adjusts the peak forward web speed in inches per second. The value can be varied from 4 to 30 in/sec. Seal Dwell The amount of time the impulse seal wire turns on. High quality seals are accomplished through proper seal time settings. These settings will vary with the film gauge and material. Seal Cool This setting adjusts the delay (in seconds) that occurs prior to opening the pressure bar. This can be used to allow additional cooling time for the bag seal. Increasing it will slow the machine and increase the bag- ger cycle time. Jaw Pass-Thru The distance the pressure bar and the stripper plate when the Jaw is opened. It can be adjusted from 1.0 – 4.5” of pass-thru. Bag Thickness The thickness of bag material. Found on label of film box or roll. 3-5

Original Printed in English SERVICE SCREENS There are two Service Screens to be used by qualified service and maintenance personnel to test the various machine motions. It is assummed that the person using this screen understands the nature of each motion, prior to invoking that motion. Care must be used to ensure the operation does not damage equipment. Service Screen 1 Close Jaw – The jaw must be at the Pass-Thru position before this motion will occur. When the momentary button is pressed, the Jaw will move to the Sealing Position and the Jaw Closed Sensor should make. GoTo Near Closed – When the momentary button is pressed, the Jaw will move to the Near Closed Position and the Jaw Near Closed Sensor should make. Open Jaw – When the momentary button is pressed, the Jaw will move to the Pass-Thru Position determined by the Pass-Thru setting. Cycle Sealer – When the momentary button is pressed, the Jaw will move to the seal position and the seal wire be activated based on the Seal Dwell Setting. After the Cooling Time has expired, the jaw will return to the Pass-Thru position. Jog Jaw Closed – When the momentary button is pressed, the Jaw will close at Jogging Speed as long as the button is held. The Jogging will be stopped automatically if the Jaw reaches the Closed Sensor. Jog Jaw Opened – When the momentary button is pressed, the Jaw will open at Jogging Speed as long as the button is held. The Jogging will be stopped automatically if the Jaw reaches the maximum pass-thru of 4.5 inches. Home Jaw – All Faults must be cleared before this cycle can be requested. When the momentary button is pressed, the Jaw will begin the Homing cycle. The jaw travels until it hits the Jaw Closed sensor, which is the Home Switch. This esatblishes a Zero Position. All Jaw moves except Jogging and Faults are Absolute Positional Moves. The homing cycle finishes by moving the jaw to the Pass-Thru Position. Jog Film Fwd – When the momentary button is pressed, the film will feed out at Jogging Speed as long as the button is held. Jog Film Rev – When the momentary button is pressed, the film will reverse at Jogging Speed as long as the button is held. Stop Homing Cycle – When the momentary button is pressed, the Jaw will Homing cycle will be stopped and the jaw will back out 0.5” from the point at which the cycle was stopped. The HMI will display the “Jaw Failed To Home Fault” The fault must be reset before the Jaw Homing Cycle can be repeted. SCREEN NAVIGATION CONTROLS 3-10

Original Printed in English All fault and alert messages appear at the bottom of most screens in a single line of text. Messages alternate through a technique known as “Round Robin Display”. Each active message appears for 3 seconds and then the display goes to the next. Thus if there were 3 active messages, all 3 would be displayed every 9 seconds. Fault Messages Faults are defined as an error condition that will stop the bagger and prevent subsequent cycles from occurring as long as the fault persists. Faults must be corrected and then reset from the HMI using the Reset Button. Faults are first indicated by the red banner at the bottom of all screens. CAUSE: There is no film in the machine or the film is not being detected by the bag edge photo-eye REMEDY: Position the film over the eye and reset the fault. CAUSE: Consecutive Bad Read Counter = Barcode Fault Setting REMEDY: There is a problem with the Barcode Scanner. The taught label is not the same as the printed label or The print quality of the label is poor and cannot be read. CAUSE: Safety light curtain was broken while the bagger was in cycle. REMEDY: Operators must wait until the bagger cycle is completed before loading parts. CAUSE: The Actual Number of Parts loaded into the open bag exceeded the Target Count. REMEDY: The Filling device is delivering parts after the “ Ready For Filler” switched off, or the filling de- vice delivered multiple parts in a single charge and those parts were counted by the counting device. i.e. light curtain, photo-eye, etc. Close examination of the filler and filling process is required to correct the condition. CAUSE: The Lower Print Head PLC output O-05 was turned on, but failed to make the lowered switch failed to turn on the Print Head Lowered Input I-05. REMEDY: Lower Print Head Solenoid may have failed or proximity sensor is not positioned correctly with the target. Check PLC I/O circuits. HMI FAULT MANAGEMENT 5-1 FAULT & ALERT MANAGEMENT

Original Printed in English CAUSE: The Lower Print Head PLC output O-05 was turned off, but Input I-05 stayed on. REMEDY: Lower Print Head Solenoid may have failed or proximity sensor is not positioned correctly with the target. Check PLC I/O circuits. CAUSE: The Jaw Axis detected a motion fault REMEDY: Reset the fault. If problem persists, rehome the Jaw. CAUSE: The Film Axis detected a motion fault REMEDY: Reset the fault. If problem persists, lower the Feed Speed setting. CAUSE: The commanded motion did not complete before the fault timer expired. The Jaw Closed Sensor must change states as the jaw moves in to the sealing position. Also the Jaw may have mechanically lost its po- sition. REMEDY: Reset the fault and Rehome the Jaw. CAUSE: The pressure bar attempted to close, but was blocked by an obstruction. REMEDY: This is usually a part that did not drop past the pressure bar. Increase the Filler Drop Timer setting. CAUSE: The Bag Edge Photo-eye did not detect the trailing edge of the film as the web was backing up. REMEDY: Check that the Photo-eye is correctly sensing the film in front of it. It should only turn on when it sees the film in front of it. It should turn off just as the trailing edge of the film un- blocks the eye. The eye may need to be taught from the service screen or it might need to be cleaned. FAULT & ALERT MANAGEMENT HMI FAULT MANAGEMENT 5-2

Original Printed in English CAUSE: The Jaw Homing Cycle could not be completed or the cycle was stopped by the Operator. REMEDY: The Jaw Closed sensor may be inoperative or there may be a physical obstruction between the Jaw and the bagger frame that does not activate the Jaw Obstruction sensors. Alert Messages Alert messages are displayed in yellow and will not generally stop a bagger cycle, though they can inhibit start- ing the cycle. Alerts are intended to inform the operator of an event or status of the machine. Alerts can be con- sidered minor faults in some cases and may require the operator to intervene. CAUSE: The batch counter actual value has reached the target count. This alert will not interrupt the bagger cycle, but subsequent cycles are not possible until the Alert has been reset. REMEDY: Batch is done. Reset and bagger is free to cycle again. CAUSE: The bagger has signaled the filler machine that it is ready to accept product and is waiting for the filler to trigger the next bagger cycle. REMEDY: Filler must complete the delivery of product and turn on the Filler Trigger input. CAUSE: The bagger requested a print from the printer, but the printer has not responded with “ Printer Busy” REMEDY: Printer does not have a label loaded or there is an I/O communications problem between the PLC and the Printer. Check “Printer Data Ready” Input 02 CAUSE: The Jaw Stepper Motor must be homed before it can operate REMEDY: Remove bag from Sealing Area. Press “ Home Jaw” button located on Dashboard Screen. Jaw will go through homing cycle and when completed, this message will automatically clear. FAULT & ALERT MANAGEMENT HMI ALERT MANAGEMENT 5-3

The warranty starts on the date the machine is delivered to the original Buyer and expires one (1) year for parts, and ninety (90) days for labor, after that date. Buyer, at Sharp's request, shall provide documents establishing the delivery date. Exclusions: This warranty shall not apply to: (a) any machine subjected to misuse, abuse, or accident; (b) damage in transit or from external sources; (c) overloading of machine capacity; (d) failures which are due to a lack of proper maintenance or care as prescribed in the operating and maintenance instructions; (e) normal wear and tear or relatively minor adjustments; (f) replacement of consumable items (including, but not limited to, heating elements, silicon pads and Teflon cloth/tape); (g) repairs or alterations performed by any organization other than Sharp or Sharp's authorized service centers and (h) parts, ac- cessories, or other items manufactured by others which are in any way used and/or installed in or on the machine; such machine components may be covered under their own manufacturer's warranties. THIS WARRANTY IS EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ANY AND ALL OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, WHETHER WRITTEN, ORAL OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THIS WARRANTY SHALL CONSTITUTE THE SOLE REMEDY OF BUYER AND THE SOLE LIABILITY OF SHARP, WHETH- ER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR STRICT LIABILITY. IN NO EVENT SHALL SHARP BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS PROFITS OR OTHER INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THE FURNISHING, PERFORMANCE, USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE MACHINE, EVEN IF SHARP HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY CLAIM AGAINST BUYER BY ANY OTHER PARTY. Buyer shall give written notice to Sharp of any alleged failure or refusal of Sharp to repair or replace as prom- ised by this warranty within fifteen (15) days after Buyer learns of the alleged failure or refusal. If Buyer fails to do so, this warranty shall be void as to the alleged failure or refusal. No action for breach of this warranty shall be commenced more than one year after the cause of action accrues. No modification of this warranty or waiver of its terms shall be binding on Sharp unless approved in writing by an authorized corporate officer of Sharp. This warranty is the entire warranty given by Sharp on the machine and supersedes any prior statements or representations. 9. INDEMNIFICATION: Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold Sharp harmless from all claims, demands, losses, damages, costs and expenses, in- cluding legal fees, arising out of: (a) any machine subjected to misuse, abuse, or accident; (b) damage in transit or from external sources; (c) overloading of machine capacity; (d) failures which are due to a lack of proper maintenance or care as prescribed in the operating and maintenance instructions; (e) normal wear and tear or relatively minor adjustments; (f) replacement of consumable items (including, but not limited to, heating elements, silicon pads and Teflon cloth/tape); (g) repairs or alterations performed by any organization other than Sharp or Sharp's authorized service centers and (h) parts, ac- cessories, or other items manufactured by others which are in any way used and/or installed in or on the machine. 10. COLLECTION: If Sharp commences any action against buyer to collect any amount due from Buyer to Sharp in connection with the order, Buyer shall pay Sharp’s costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, whether incurred before or after judgment. 11. GENERAL: The "Agreement" means only the provisions of these Standard Terms and Conditions. Acceptance of Buyer's order is expressly made condi- tional on Buyer’s assent to these Standard Terms and Conditions. The Agreement states the entire agreement of the parties concerning the order. The Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, communications, and representations between Buyer and Sharp concerning the order, including any provi- sions in any order or other form initiated by Buyer which are not expressly accepted by Sharp in writing. The Agreement may not be modified or amended except by written agreement of Sharp signed by an authorized corporate officer of Sharp. Sharp's remedies under the Agreement shall be cumulative. Sharp's election of one remedy shall not preclude pursuit of other remedies. Sharp's waiver of any right shall not prevent Sharp from exercising that right subsequently. Any notice to Buyer shall be deemed given when (a) mailed to Buyer by first class mail at its last known address, or (b) transmitted to Buyer by facsimile at its last known facsimile number, or (c) received by Buyer, whichever is first. If any part of the Agreement is invalid, the rest of the Agree- ment shall remain in effect. 12. GOVERNING LAW AND FORUM: The Agreement shall be interpreted under and governed by the laws of the United States and the State of Wis- consin. Any action arising out of, related to, or connected with the Agreement or machines sold under the Agreement shall be commenced only in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin or the Circuit Court for Waukesha County, Wisconsin. Buyer consents to personal jurisdic- tion and venue in such courts. 13. Revised: November 27, 2006 Supersedes: July 19, 2006 Sharp Packaging Systems P.O.
