FEATURES & TIPS

‘System-Check’ function When switched on, the machine performs a ‘System-Check’ function. The control panel illuminates LED neons in sequence to check their operation.

‘Heat-Shield’ function The document clamp operates as a ‘Heat Shield’ to prevent operators from accidentally touching the heating plate.

‘Auto-Off’ function If the machine is not active for 30 minutes, the ‘Auto-Off’ function will place the machine into standby mode. The ’Power-On’ LED will flash red and green. To operate the machine, press the ‘Power-On’ button.

Always put the document into the appropriate sized binding cover. For better results, consider including blank sheets to fill the thermal cover to capacity. Always test bind with a similar size and thickness of thermal covers before final process. Helios has an angled heater mechanism to ensure correct document alignment with the document support during the binding process. For best results, use Fellowes® brand supplies. Thermal binding covers work best with thin and uncoated types of paper. Care should be taken with thick and coated papers to ensure satisfactory results. If the sheets have not been glued completely to the cover, the document can be re-processed to improve the result. Ensure the sheets are well aligned and touching the glued spine of the thermal cover by tapping the collated document in the cover onto a flat surface. This can be done before and after the binding process.

BEFORE BINDING

Ensure the machine is on a stable surface. Check there is enough clear space around the machine to operate safely.

Insert the power lead into the power socket (located at the rear of the machine).

Plug the machine into an easily accessible main socket. Switch the main supply on.

Open and lift the lid by releasing the safety catches on the front of the lid.

HOW TO BIND

Switch the power on (located at the rear side).

The ‘Power-On’ button will be red. To activate the machine, press the ‘Power-On’ button on the control panel. The machine will warm-up, the red LED will flash. The machine will ‘beep’ (3x) and the LED turns green when the machine is ready to bind.

Prepare the documents by loading the sheets into the thermal covers. For best results, do not to place too many or too few sheets into the cover. Use the binding thickness scale as a guide. The guide is calibrated in 6mm widths. Helios 30 will accept single or multiple documents up to a combined total thickness of 1.25” (approximately 300 sheets / 20lb).

The selected binding cycle is shown with blue LED. Use the timer selection buttons to navigate up or down the scale, if required. The scale has 10 settings. Eg: 0.25” document thickness = setting 1 (up to 60 sheets), 1.25” document = setting 10 (up to 300 sheets).

Pull open the document clamp (Heat-Shield feature), insert the documents into the binding channel. Ensure the binding covers spine touches the heating element.

10. Start the binding cycle by pressing the ‘Select / OK’

button. The blue LED will start flashing and counting down, in sequence. When the cycle is complete, the machine will beep (3x). The blue LED will switch off.

11. The machine has an integral cooling tray. It can be

extended from the back of the machine and can also be pulled upwards to accept larger documents.

12. When the binding cycle is complete, immediately

remove the documents and place in the cooling tray or on a flat surface to allow the document to cool. The document can be removed from the machine mid-cycle if required, take care – the glue may be hot and melted.
