EDNord - Istedgade 37A - 9000 Aalborg - Telefon 9633 3500 3 CHARACTERISTICS OF LAMINATOR NPH-1200N/900N This machine has been designed using the latest laminating technology. 1. This machine is controlled by a state-of-the-art Microprocessor. a) Protect the rollers--When the power is off or a power failure occurs, rollers continue to turn until the unit properly cools down. b) Automatic overheating protection--If a temperature sensor should fail, the heating elements will not heat up. c) You can set your own operating conditions into "Memory". 2. Temperature and speed can be adjusted, to properly laminate various film thickness. 3. A buzzer rings, alerting you that a butten has been pressed. This prevents accidental setting changes. 4. Roller cover may be opened for easy access to clean the rollers. 5. Thermostats are used to economically maintain consistent temperature.
