    Before setting up and using the horizontal belt stacker you should be thoroughly familiar with its controls and setup procedure. You should also be thoroughly familiar with each component of the Inserting system the belt stacker is being used with. This Guide is organized into three chapters: Chapter 1 - Introduction Gives basic details of your belt stacker. This section includes: What the Belt Stacker Does ..........

  • Page 9: Chapter 1 - Introduction

    Introduction • 1 What the Belt Stacker Does General The stacker is designed as an output device for a range of Inserting Systems and also as a general output device for other machines such as address printers. This guide covers use of the belt stacker in all configurations. Configurations The belt stacker can operate at right angles (to the left or right) and also in-line with the machine outputting to it, depending on machine and/or...
  • Page 10 1 • Introduction The control panel can be positioned on either side of the stacker to accommodate the different configurations possible. It incorporates a variable speed control, run-out button, power switch and power supply. In most cases, the belt stacker is mounted on height adjustable legs. However, versions without legs are available that can be placed on an existing table of the correct height.

    Introduction • 1 Main Components Take a few minutes to become familiar with the components of the belt stacker. Side guides Control panel box Leg assembly Lockable castors Height adjustment knobs (two on each leg) Stacking tray Entry guide (varies with machine configuration) Front end side guide adjustment knobs Rear end side guide adjustment knobs (underneath, not visible)

  • Page 12: The Control Panel

    1 • Introduction The Control Panel The control panel can be positioned on either side of the stacker, depending on system configuration. To change the position of the control panel, pull the panel firmly towards you to remove it. Refit the control panel to the opening on the opposite side of the belt stacker.

  • Page 13: Chapter 2 - Operation

    Operation • 2 Use with the Relay 5000/6000/7000/8000 Inserters The belt stacker can be used in Right Angled or In Line configuration with the Relay 5000/6000/7000/8000 Inserters. There are two setups for In Line operation: One for ‘letters’ (e.g. #10, DL/ C5) sized envelopes, and another for ‘flats’ (e.g. #9, C4) sized envelopes. In Line mode is essential for running ‘flats’. Right Angled setup and operation is described below. In Line setup and operation for letters and flats is described later in this chapter. Setup of Right Angled mode with Relay System Inserters The illustration below shows the belt stacker correctly docked to the Relay system inserter in a right angled orientation.
  • Page 14 2 • Operation 2. Loosen the front and rear end knobs (B) of the side guide closest to the inserter output and move the side guide as far open (in the direction of the arrow) as it will go. Retighten the front and rear end knobs.

  • Page 15: Operation In Right Angled Mode

    Operation • 2 5. When positioned correctly, lock all four castors. 6. For right hand operation, the sensor and sensor bracket (D) should be installed as shown in the picture. Make sure there is a spacer (E) between the bracket and stacker side guide at each knob position. For left hand operation the parts are installed mirrored.
  • Page 16 2 • Operation 5. Set the belt speed to maximum. 6. Start the Relay system. 7. Adjust the envelope overlap by moving the start sensor. When the sensor is moved away from the inlet the distance between the envelopes will be larger, and vice versa. Keep the step as small as possible without envelopes building up too much.
  • Page 17 Operation • 2 Setup of In Line mode with Relay Inserters and ‘letter’ sized envelopes The illustration below shows the belt stacker correctly docked to the Relay 5000/6000/7000/8000 Inserter in the In Line orientation running ‘letters’. Use of the stacker in this mode allows the Relay ‘Flats’ box stacker to remain in use as Flats stacker shown.
  • Page 18 2 • Operation 2. Check the stacker alignment. It should be level and the height of the stacker belt should be set to correspond with the upper mark on the decal installed to the Inserter exit area. Place a ruler onto the belt, as shown, to aid the height setting.
  • Page 19 Operation • 2 Operation in In Line mode with the Relay Inserters (‘letter’ sized envelopes) 1. The stacker side guides will have been locked wide open by your installing engineer as this configuration does not need the side guides to control envelope stacking. 2.

  • Page 21 Operation • 2 2. The sensor should already be installed into the slot on the magnetic bracket. Route the sensor cable back underneath the nuts attached to the sensor body and through the cable cut out on the bracket. Ensure the bottom face of the sensor is as close as possible and parallel to the lower face of the magnetic bracket.

  • Page 23: Tandem Belt Stacker

    Operation • 2 Tandem Belt Stacker A particular configuration of the stacker is available for the Relay Inserters that allows automatic stacking of ‘Letters’ and ‘Flats’ simultaneously. The stacker consists of two stacker units mounted onto one set of legs or one table at the correct vertical spacing to receive ‘Letter’ and ‘Flats’ output from the Inserter. Use the ‘Letters’ In Line instructions in this chapter to setup and operate the top stacker unit. Use the ‘Flats’ In Line instructions for the lower stacker unit. Use of the Belt Stacker with Other Equipment The belt stacker can be used with equipment other than inserters (for example, address printers).
