Starting up the device and loading the roll
Connect the automatic dispenser to a 250 V / 50 Hz socket using the power cable supplied with the device. Then raise the holding roller and place the dispenser in the designated position, making sure that the adhesive is positioned down as the tape is unwound. Feed the tape using the feed button (FWD) until it comes out of the tape dispenser. Close the holding roller and press START to cut the first piece of tape.
Programming
The automatic adhesive dispenser RT7000 has six settings from A to F. These settings remain in memory, and are used to store different preferred cutting lengths. It is not possible to change the order of the programming.
To record a program:
Press the SELECT button to select a program. Once the letter is selected, adjust the desired length by pressing the + and – buttons on the device. For faster value scrolling, press and hold. Press the SELECT button again to move to the next programmable letter.
Semi-automatic mode
Make sure the LED is off. If not, press the AUTO/MANU button. Select the program using the SELECT button. Press the START button to release a piece of adhesive corresponding to the displayed length.
Automatic mode
Press the AUTO/MANU button. A blue LED will light up. Once this mode is engaged, a first adhesive tape will automatically unwind to the measurements according to the length option selected. Once the piece of tape has been released, a new adhesive tape will automatically be dispensed thanks to a photoelectric detection cell. Warning: this mode is not suitable for transparent tapes because they will not be detected by photocell.
Pre-defining a number of cuts
Predefined mode (P-Mode)
This feature allows you to determine the number of strips to be cut with a maximum of 999 pieces. It can be used in automatic and semi-automatic mode.
Using P-Mode:
Select a cutting length with the SELECT button. Press and hold the SELECT button again until LCON appears on the device’s electronic display. Press SELECT again: the scroller then indicates the letter P followed by a number. Set the number of pieces of adhesive tape desired using the + and – buttons on the dispenser. In automatic mode: a new strip will be released each time the previous strip is picked until the counter on the electronic display reads “0”. In semi-automatic mode: a strip will be presented automatically each time the previous one is picked until the end of the defined number of cuts.
Loop mode (L-MODE)
The L-MODE function of the tape dispenser only works with non-adhesive tapes. The number of tape pieces desired can be defined in advance with the maximum number being 999 pieces. The automatic tape dispenser automatically stops when the program is finished.
Using L-Mode:
Use the SELECT button to select a cutting length. Press and hold the SELECT button again to display LCON. Use the + and – keys to set the desired length. Press START, the device will continuously present and cuts the strips until the display on the electronic device reads “0”. To stop the current device, simply press START.
Using two rolls simultaneously
The RT7000 electric adhesive dispenser allows two rolls not exceeding 24 mm wide each to be used at the same time. The separator is located under the industrial tape dispenser, simply position it at the location provided for this purpose.

Dispenser maintenance and cleaning
Since the machine is equipped with blades, extra care should be taken when handling the A900 automatic tape dispenser. The device must be serviced by experienced personnel. A “maintenance level” qualified personnel can assist with the maintenance of the device. Simple daily care can contribute to extending the lifespan of a device: blades should be cleaned using plastic-friendly solvents such as white spirits, greasing the blades will facilitate the device’s cutting action.
Replacement of pieces
DERFI offers constant follow-up for automatic dispensers and provides the different spare parts that compose them. Warning! Make sure the device is switched off before attempting to replace any spare parts.
