6.5 Mounting the control unit

1. Find a secure location, which is easily accessible for operators, to mount the control unit.

2. Locate the control unit on a position near the coding unit bracket and install the cable so that the

coding unit can rotate and move back and forth within the dimensions of the bracket.

3. Check whether all of the cables mentioned below are long enough to be connected to the connectors

on the bottom of the control unit. If not, correct it by relocating either the coding unit or the control

unit and/or extend the cable(s) if possible (the cable between the coding unit and control unit should

not be extended).

4. Mount the control unit on the determined location. Refer to Appendix B, for the dimensions of the

mounting holes.

5. Connect the interface cable to the host machine. Use the electrical diagram, Appendix D X3 Circuit

diagram (input) and X3 Circuit diagram (output), to determine which interface option suits best

with the host machine.

CAUTION:

Make sure the interface cable is no longer than 30m and is shielded. Using a cable longer than 30m

can cause EMC interference.

6. Connect the interface cable to the interface port (X03).

7. Connect the print request cable (X04 – e.g. photocell).

8. Connect the encoder cable (X01 - optional).

9. Connect the control/data cable, between the control unit and the coding unit (X02/X06 - fixed

length).

10. Connect the LAN cable (LAN - optional).

11. Connect the BCD cable (X07 – optional).

12. Connect the RS232 cable (X05 – optional).

13. Connect the Product detect cable (X08 – optional)

14. Connect the mains supply (X09).

Why is my Kortho Printer not printing on request?
- T
  Tim MurphyAug 20, 2025
  The Kortho printer might not be printing because the system is in pause mode (the red indicator is lit, and a warning is displayed on the screen). Another reason could be that the number of prints has reached the value set in print count, indicated by the green status LED flashing on the coding unit and the status screen showing the print count. Also, the print request sensor or cable could be defective or not sensing the product/mark. Finally, the system might be in error mode, indicated by the orange LED on the screen and an active general alarm output.

What to do if Kortho GraphicJet X control unit does not power up?

  Dr. Wesley ThomasAug 22, 2025
  If the Kortho Printer control unit does not power up, check the following: ensure the mains voltage is present, the power cable is properly connected to the control unit and is not damaged, and the ON-OFF switch is in the I position. Also, check the fuses in the power entry module (X01) and on the power supply board, making sure the LEDs beside the fuses on the power supply board are lit. Verify that the internal mains wiring and the 48VDC and processor board wiring are connected properly. Ensure the backlight cable of the user interface panel and the user interface panel-flat cable are properly connected and undamaged. If there is a burning smell, contact your local dealer. Remember to disconnect the power cable (X1) from the mains power supply first.
