Frequently Asked Questions - RBW-1500 Royal Sovereign

What materials can the RBW-1500 weld?

The RBW-1500 is designed for welding vinyl banner materials with a thickness of 0.2-0.8 mm (10-18 oz). It can also weld pole pockets and rope pockets.

What are the electrical requirements for the RBW-1500?

The unit supports multiple input voltages: 100-120V, 220V, 220-240V, and 100V (50/60 Hz). It consumes 800W. Royal Sovereign recommends installation by a licensed electrician.

How do I adjust the temperature and speed?

Use the temperature up/down arrows on the control panel to set the temperature, and turn the speed knob clockwise to increase speed or counter-clockwise to decrease. Refer to the recommended settings chart for different banner weights.

What do error codes E0, E1, E2, E3, and E4 mean?

E0: Emergency switch is on (turn it off). E1/E2: Upper/lower sensor wire or sensor problem (check wire or replace sensor). E3/E4: Upper/lower sensor overheated (check wire and PCB).

How do I replace the welding belts?

Unplug and cool the machine. Remove top and bottom covers, drive belt, and three wheels. Push the adjustable base to remove worn belts. Install new belts, adjust tension with the adjustment screws, and reassemble.Never replace belts when hot.

What maintenance is required?

Regularly run a piece of scrap material through the machine to clean the belts. Replace welding belts when worn or ripped. All bearings are sealed and require no lubrication. Keep the machine on a level surface and away from moisture.

Can I weld pole pockets with the RBW-1500?

Yes. First weld all unpocketed sides. Loosen the Knob-Bolt Guide on the guide plate, slide it to the desired pocket depth, tighten, and weld the pocket at a slower speed than regular seams.

What is the warranty coverage?

Royal Sovereign provides a 1-year parts and labor warranty from the date of installation for the original purchaser. It covers defects in material and workmanship but not normal wear items like welding belts, fuses, or damage from misuse.

How do I set up the RBW-1500 initially?

1) Attach casters to base. 2) Attach support bar to base. 3) Attach adjustable stand at desired height. 4) Place the welder body on stand and secure. 5) Level with leveling legs. 6) Attach guide plate and feed tables. See manual for detailed assembly instructions.

What safety precautions should I follow?

Always keep hands away from heating blocks. Use a properly grounded outlet. Do not place flammable objects near the machine. Ensure the unit is off and unplugged before cleaning or repairs. Only operate from the front side. Turn off emergency switch if needed.

3. ST/BY: To switch to stand-by mode (temperature will be automatically set to 176°F) press the ST/BY button.

If the machine is in Stand by Mode and no activity is made for 5 minutes the machine will automatically power off.

1. Power: Power button will power the belts and heater on/off.

(Note: To completely power the unit on/off, toggle the main switch located near the power cord)

6. OPERATION

The Banner Welder must only be used by trained and qualified personnel.

The Banner Welder must be used only for welding material for which it has been designed.

For recommended maximum welding thickness see page 15.

Welding:

NOTE: When you feed the banner into the machine, you should guide the banner by the hand or by Banner Guide to keep it move in a straight line.

1. The Banner Welder should be positioned on a level surface in an area with adequate lighting and enough work space for feeding materials. Connect the power cord to the AC outlet and turn the Power Switch to the on position. Depress

the power button on the control panel. The machine should only be operated from the front (control side) of the machine.

1. Before welding, first determine the folded area to be welded, adjust the guide plate and set it to the proper position. Set the temperature and speed referencing the Recommended Temperature and Speed section. (Note: Due to varying manufacturing processes of banner material fine tuning may be required).

2. Fold over material to allow for a minimum of 1/2" weld.

3. The point of the arrow is the middle of the weld. Align the outer edge of the fold over to the inner edge of the arrow.(Fig. 6-1)

4. Guide the banner into machine. The drive belts will grab banner and pull the banner through machine.(Fig. 6-2)

5. Welded banner will exit machine.

6. Test the weld for tight seal.

7. For best results rotate the banner 90^ in a clock wise direction. Fold over the short side and guide the banner into the machine with the 4 layer fold entering last. (Note: Turn the speed down 1 to 2 positions to compensate for the extra layers of material).

Fig. 6-2

1. Turn the speed back up and rotate the banner again and fold the longer side of the banner and guide the banner into the machine with the 4 layer fold entering last.
   (Note: Turn the speed back down 1 to 2 positions to compensate for the extra layers of material).
2. Turn and weld last end of banner. (Turning the speed down accounting for the extra layers of material).

Pole Pockets:

1. Weld all unpocketed sides first. (If you weld pockets before regular sides, your pockets will be sealed closed).
2. Loosen the Knob-Bolt Guide on the guide plate on the bottom of the table. Slide guide out to desired depth of pocket. Tighten the knobs on the guide plate
3. Weld pocket at slower speed than regular weld side.

Rope Pockets:

1. Weld banner the same as with pole pockets only making a smaller rope pocket.
2. Insert an electrician's fish tape through pocket and hook on end of rope using a large paper clip. Pull rope through pocket.

Joining Two Pieces Togeather:

1. Cut two pieces to size.
2. Weld one outside edge on each piece.
3. Lay the two pieces together FACE to FACE.
4. Run through machine welding center seam.

7. MAINTENANCE

The banner welding machine has all sealed bearings which do not need any additional lubrication. The only maintenance you may need to perform is replacing the worn out or ripped welding belts, or if you run a printed banner at too high heat, you may need to clean your welding belts.

This is a simple procedure you do while the machine is running.

1. Run a piece of scrap material 2-3 times through the unit. This should clean belts sufficiently. If you need a more in depth cleaning go to step 2.
2. Power the unit off and unplug the unit from the outlet. Once the unit has sufficiently cooled remove the top and bottom cover (as needed) and use a rubber sand belt cleaner to remove residual adhesive from the belts.

DON'T TRY TO REPLACE BELTS WHEN MACHINE IS HOT

Unplug the unit and allow it to sufficiently cool.

1. Remove the top/board covers. Unscrew the Philips head screws on the top cover and bottom cover.(Fig. 7-1)
