Welcome
Congratulations, you have just purchased the very finest
of collators, the Watkiss Vario. Your Vario has been
designed to make collating efficient, productive and
above all, easy.
ABOUT YOUR
MANUAL This operating manual (Issue 3) covers machines fitted
with a GUI (Graphical User Interface) colour touch-screen
control panel (see below). For machines fitted with earlier
control panels please refer to Issue 1 and 2.
The manual has a 'Quick Start' section to get you up and
running quickly. It is then followed by more detail on each
of the modules that make up your machine, and by
problem solving charts and additional notes.
SAFETY FIRST Your Vario has been designed with safety as a key feature.
However, as with all electrical equipment, when removing
any covers or changing fuses always first discon-
nect the machine from the mains electricity
supply by switching off and unplugging the machine.
Rear Guard
The rear guard of the collator must be fitted for the
machine to run. A safety switch prevents machine oper-
ation when the guard is removed. When fitting the guard,
ensure that the bar on the top bracket locates correctly
on the hooks under the drive unit. Also ensure the guard’s
bottom bracket locates on the lower conveyor shaft.

Emergency Stop
The emergency stop button should only be used when
an immediate stop of the machine is required. Under
normal circumstances the machine should be stopped
by touching the stop button on the control panel. If the
emergency stop button is used, the collator will not restart
until the button has been released by turning clockwise.
INSTALLATION The installation of your Vario requires specialist knowl-
edge and should therefore only be carried out by a
Watkiss approved engineer.
MAINS INPUT The Mains input for the Vario is on the rear of the drive
unit. The collator must be plugged into a mains supply of
the correct voltage. Two fuses are fitted next to the Mains
input. If either of the fuses fails the collator will not power
up (see p.85 for details about changing fuses).
MAINS ON/OFF
SWITCH The mains On/Off switch should be used to turn the
collator on and off when required. When the collator is

switched off it retains the control panel settings in
memory.
GETTING HELP We are confident that your Vario will give many years of
trouble-free production. If you have any queries or prob-
lems, in the first instance please refer to the problem
solving section in this book. Should you require further
assistance, the Watkiss Service Department (UK) or your
local Watkiss supplier will be happy to help.

This section is intended only as a brief operating guide.
Detailed operating procedures are included in subse-
quent chapters.
Plug the collator into a mains supply of the correct voltage.
Switch on the mains ON/OFF switch.
OPERATING THE
TOUCH SCREEN In normal use, the touch-screen can be operated by
finger-tip. It is not necessary to touch the screen with any
other implement. However, the screen can be operated
with any blunt instrument, such as a palm top ‘wand’or
the blunt end of a pen.
Do not use excessive force: a light touch is all that is
needed.
The Vario is controlled by touching buttons on the control
panel. Buttons that perform related functions are grouped
together in ’windows’. Each window is selected by touch-
ing the relevant tab at the bottom of the control panel.
Caution
Operating the touch screen with a sharp object, or with
excessive force, will damage the screen.
