E555-007-01 Top Heater Assembly
Fits the BP555e series gummed tape dispensers. Low voltage! Only connect to the circuit board, do not plug directly into 115v power supply.
The heater warms the water at the tips of the moistening brush to reactivate the glue on water-activated tape. If the tape isn't sticking well, clean the E555-132-01 moistening brushes. Adhesive buildup can reduce their effectiveness.
Most tapes require very little heat. To prolong the life of the heater, we recommend setting it to half-temperature and turning off the machine when not in use. Continuous operation can cause the heater to burn out over time.
In some instances the main circuit board may be at fault. If the heater does not operate, and you have multiple dispensers, check the main circuit board by installing a heater from an identical machine with a heater in known working condition to see if it heats.
When replacing the heater, clean the plate that snaps under the heater of all tape debris. Make sure the shear guide rollers are cleaned and reinstalled. Replace the shear guide rollers if the holes are oblong or the rollers have flat spots.
If your machine is the BP555eSA you will also need to transfer the tape sensor. Carefully remove it with a flat head screw driver, and cut the zip ties.
Every 6 months lift the heater and scrape any build up of adhesive off the underside of the heater using a window scraper. Adhesive buildup may cause the tape to jam.
