quadient Air Assist Installation guide

  • Hello! I'm a chat assistant that has read the Quadient Air Assist Installation Guide for the DS-1200G4i High Capacity Sheet Feeder. This document focuses on the installation of an air assist system to improve sheet separation and includes detailed instructions on assembling fan units and connecting electrical components. I'm ready to answer any questions you may have about this installation process.
  • Can the Air Assist Kit be fitted to older DS1200G3 Hi-Capacity Sheet feeder?
    What needs to be done if Air Assist is required for older systems?
    Where I can turn on or off fans?

Installation of Air Assist
Air Assist High Capacity Sheet Feeder:
The High Capacity Sheet Feeder now has an option to add 4 air fans to assist with sheet separation for difficult
materials. All High Capacity Sheet Feeders will be delivered “Air Assist Ready” so the fans can be added in the
future if required.
The Air Assist Kit cannot be fitted to older DS1200G3 Hi-Capacity Sheet feeder.
If Air Assist is required for older systems, the G4 Hi-Capacity Sheet Feeder module will need to be fitted.
The new Air Assist High Capacity Sheet Feeder module is backwards compatible with older DS-1200G3 models.
