FEATURES & TIPS
‘System-Check’ function
•
•
•
•
Always put the document into the appropriate
sized binding cover.
When switched on, the machine performs a
‘System-Check’ function. The control panel
illuminates LED neons in sequence to check
their operation.
For better results, consider including blank
sheets to fill the thermal cover to capacity.
Always test bind with a similar size and
thickness of thermal covers before final process.
Helios has an angled heater mechanism to
ensure correct document alignment with the
document support during the binding process.
For best results, use Fellowes® brand
supplies.
Thermal binding covers work best with thin
and uncoated types of paper. Care should be
taken with thick and coated papers to ensure
satisfactory results.
If the sheets have not been glued completely to
the cover, the document can be re-processed to
improve the result.
Ensure the sheets are well aligned and
touching the glued spine of the thermal cover
by tapping the collated document in the cover
onto a flat surface. This can be done before
and after the binding process.
‘Heat-Shield’ function
The document clamp operates as a ‘Heat
Shield’ to prevent operators from accidentally
touching the heating plate.
•
•
‘Auto-Off’ function
If the machine is not active for 30 minutes, the
‘Auto-Off’ function will place the machine into
standby mode. The ’Power-On’ LED will flash
red and green. To operate the machine, press
the ‘Power-On’ button.

machine, press the ‘Power-On’ button on the control
panel. The machine will warm-up, the red LED will
flash. The machine will ‘beep’ (3x) and the LED
turns green when the machine is ready to bind.
Start the binding cycle by pressing the ‘Select / OK’

button. The blue LED will start flashing and counting
down, in sequence. When the cycle is complete, the
machine will beep (3x). The blue LED will switch off.
7. Prepare the documents by loading the sheets into
the thermal covers. For best results, do not to place
too many or too few sheets into the cover. Use the
binding thickness scale as a guide. The guide is cali-
brated in 6mm widths. Helios 30 will accept single or
multiple documents up to a combined total thickness
of 1.25” (approximately 300 sheets / 20lb).
11.
The machine has an integral cooling tray. It can be
extended from the back of the machine and can also
be pulled upwards to accept larger documents.
When the binding cycle is complete, immediately

remove the documents and place in the cooling tray
or on a flat surface to allow the document to cool.
The document can be removed from the machine
mid-cycle if required, take care – the glue may be
hot and melted.
The selected binding cycle is shown with blue LED.
8.
Use the timer selection buttons to navigate up or
down the scale, if required. The scale has 10 settings.
Eg: 0.25” document thickness = setting 1 (up to
60 sheets), 1.25” document = setting 10 (up to 300
sheets).
