UNPACKING
ChemInstruments has made every effort to ensure that the HL-200/201 arrives at your location
without damage. Carefully unpack the instrument and check for any damage that may have
occurred during shipment. If any damage did occur during transit, notify the carrier
immediately.
The ChemInstruments HL-200/201 consists of the following parts:
•The laminator frame, which includes the laminating station and attached control box.
•Optional equipment if ordered would include gap adjusters, brake unwind stand, heat
guard kit, along with any customized alterations and/or additions.
Make sure all of these components are present before discarding the packaging material.

ASSEMBLY
Warning: Due to its weight and size, use two people to move the HL-200/201.
Warning: Before proceeding with using the HL-200/201, it is advisable to
become familiar with the Key Components. These Key Components and a brief
description of their function follow in the next section.
•Carefully remove the Hot Roll Laminator from the packaging and set it on a sturdy bench
top.
•Check the physical dimensions listed previously for the space required for the
instrument. As with any precision piece of laboratory equipment, it is preferable to locate
the HL-200/201 in an area where temperature and humidity are controlled to standard
conditions of 72 ± 2°F and 50 ± 5% relative humidity.
•The laminator should be located on a sturdy bench or cart capable of a 200 pound load.
•It is recommended that access be provided for both the front and back of the machine.
•Carefully remove the Kraft paper from the laminating rolls.
•Attach an incoming airline to the male inlet fixture on the side of the cabinet.
•Set the Air Pressure Regulator at 40 PSI for initial startup.
Warning: Make sure the power source matches the requirements of the Hot Roll
Laminator machine. Damage will occur if this unit is plugged into the incorrect
power supply.
Warning: Only connect this unit to a properly sized circuit to avoid overload
problems.
•Plug the laminator into the appropriate AC circuit.
•Remove the wood blocks between the laminating rolls. This requires the air and
electrical connections to have been made. Push the OPEN NIP button if the top Heat
Laminating Roll is in the down position and resting on the wood blocks.
•If the optional Gap Adjusters are included, use these to create a gap by threading both
lower half of the Gap Adjuster cylinders down the air cylinder shaft. Lock their position
by threading the top half of the Gap Adjuster down until it contacts the bottom half of the
Gap Adjuster.

•When the laminator is not in use, these Gap Adjusters will provide a mechanical stop to
the downward travel of the top Heat Laminating Roll. This will prevent wear and damage
to the rubber cover on the Drive Laminating Roll
•Check the Roll Unwind Bar to make sure it is seated properly in the support frame.
•If the optional Brake Unwind System is provided, check that the Pressure Plate is
positioned with the slot over the Retaining Pin.
The HL-200/201 laminator is now ready for use except for setting the temperature level for the
heated roll.
SAFETY FEATURES
The HL-200/201 hot roll laminator should be considered as any other piece of laboratory
equipment. The safety features incorporated in this device are designed to help prevent injury.
It remains the operator’s responsibility to use this and all equipment with caution while following
the manufacturer’s instructions. Basic common sense and caution should be exercised at all
times.
Please pay attention to and follow all warnings and cautions as you use this equipment. There
are two basic safety features for this device.
1. TRIP WIRE:This safety wire is located in front of the top Heat Laminating Roll and nip
point. When activated, the top roll will travel upward, opening the laminating nip and
removing the pressure between the two laminating rolls. This trip wire is adjustable and
should be tested regularly to insure proper operation. DO NOT REMOVE THIS
DEVICE. It is considered a safety violation to hinder the operation of this device in any
manner.
2. E-STOP:This device is located on the side of the control cabinet for ease of access.
Besides disrupting all power to the equipment when activated, the top Heat Laminating
Roll will travel upward opening the nip point of the two laminating rolls. This switch is not
to be used as an “on/off” switch when operating the HL-200/201 laminator.

LAMINATOR
•EXHAUST CONTROL VALVES control the rate of exhaust from the Air Cylinder that it is
mounted to.
•AIR CYLINDERS are mounted vertically at each end of the top heat laminating roll.
These pneumatic cylinders move the top heat laminating roll up and down according to
the UP and DOWN switches.
•HEATED LAMINATING ROLL the top roll supplying the laminating pressure.
•DRIVE LAMINATING ROLL the bottom roll connected to the motor and supplying the
drive to the laminator.
•NIP refers to the point of contact between the two laminating rolls.
•SAFETY TRIP WIRE will open the nip by raising the heat laminating roll. The heat
laminating roll will stop moving also.
