Declaration of Noise Emission

The Plexpack Corp. Model EMPLEX® 6XXX Bag Sealer, where “X” may be any

number 0-9, noise emission levels per ISO EN 11202 are as follows:

Work place noise level – Idle/Ambient 57.4 dB (A)

Work place noise level (Work Cycle)

61.5 dB (A)

Ambient Correction Factor K3A calculated according to ISO EN

11204 Appendix A.

4 dB (A)

Measurements were made at a height of 1.5 m and 1 m from the Operator Position.

The difference between the extraneous noise level and the sound intensity level at each

measuring point is 4.1 dB (A)

The figures quoted are emission levels and are not necessarily safe working levels. While there is

a correlation between the emission and exposure levels this cannot be used reliably to determine

whether or not further precautions are required.

Factors that influence the actual level of exposure of the workforce include characteristics of the

work room, the other sources of noise, etc. such as the number of machines and other adjacent

processes. Also, the permissible level of exposure can vary from country to country.

This information, however, will enable the user of the machine to make a better evaluation of

the hazard and risk.

2.0 UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY

To reduce any risk of damage during shipping, the MPS 6100 series models are

securely packed in three separate sections that need to be assembled. The three sections are

the sealing section (consisting of the head and rails), the stand stem, and the stand base.

Tools Required Number of Persons Needed

1. Philips Head Screwdriver

2. Adjustable Wrench 2

CAUTION: This assembly weighs in total over 28 kilograms, please use a minimum of two

people to remove this from the box and to mount in its final position.

2.1 UNCRATING THE MPS 6100 SERIES

1) Open the box then remove the first layer of plastic wrap and foam to uncover the head

and rails. Carefully lift the head and rails out of the box and set aside.

2) Remove the second layer of wrap and foam to uncover the two stand sections the base

and the stem. Remove each component separately and set aside.

2.2 ASSEMBLING THE MPS 6100 SERIES

1) The stand must first be assembled. To do so, remove the four supplied screws that are

attached in the top section of the stand.

2) Once the screws are removed, place the top of the stand into the base section as shown

in Figure #3.

3) Replace the screws to attach the stem to the base, tightening firmly into place.

MPS6100-M OPERATION MANUAL

ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS Page 8

4) Next, the sealing head (control box and rails) must be attached to the stand. Simply place

the upper two support knobs on either side of the control box into the upper slots on

the stand. Next, gently swing the sealing section down into place. The sealing section will

be attached as in Figure #5.

5) Install the locking bolts to ensure the sealing section is held securely in place.

2.3 UNPACKING THE MPS 6140 SERIES

To reduce risk of damage during shipping, the MPS 6140 table-top model is securely

packed in one piece. If an optional product shelf was ordered, this piece will be packed

separately and will need to be assembled to the MPS 6140.

1) Open the box then remove the first layer of plastic wrap and foam to uncover the MPS

6140. Carefully lift the assembly out of the box and set aside.
