3 1. Install 2 non-swivel casters (figure 1 item A) onto one of the leg assemblies; then install 2 swivel casters (figure 2 item A) onto the other leg assembly. Secure casters using Hex nuts. 2. To pre-adjust leg assemblies to proper length, measure the distance from the floor, to the exit surface of the delivery device (i.e. printer). Loosen the 2 hex nuts (figure 1 and 2 item B) and adjust leg assembly until overall length, including casters, is about 7 inches less then the measurement you just obtained. Tighten hex nuts. Repeat procedure for other leg assembly. 3. Onto knock down assembly bracket (figure 1 item C) temporarily install the envelope knock down post (figure 1 item D), as shown below, using thumb screw and securing plate. Securing plate 4. Onto leg assembly with non-swivel casters: Install envelope knock down assembly bracket (figure 1 item C) using 2 Phillips head machine screws, provided in accessory bag. Item A Item D Item B Figure 1 Item C 5. Onto leg assembly with swivel casters: Install L bracket (figure 2 item C) using 2 Phillips head machine screws, provided in accessory bag.

4 Important! Please be sure the leg assemblies are completely assembled, as described in steps 1 through 5, before proceeding to the next step. Note: The TB499 can be purchased as a Left to Right or Right to Left conveyor. Make sure you are installing the legs onto the appropriate ends of your conveyor. 6. With conveyor laying upside down; install leg assembly with non-swivel casters and envelope knock down assembly (figure 3 item A) onto entrance end (end with fans) of conveyor using 4 Socket head Allen screws and lock washers. Be careful not to bend rail tabs, pictured below, when maneuvering the conveyor while it is upside down. Assembly Tip: If you have trouble aligning the screw holes in the leg assemblies with the conveyor holes; loosen the 10 Phillips head screws that secure the bottom plate, shown below, to allow the conveyor side frames to flex. When finished securing leg assemblies to conveyor, be sure to re-tighten these 10 Phillips head screws. To help align holes, when attaching leg assemblies, loosen screws that secure bottom plate. Be careful not to bend rail tabs. Entrance End (with Fans) Item A Left to Right Conveyor Figure 3 Right to Left Conveyor RENA TB499 Installation Guide2 Rev

5 7. With conveyor laying upside down; install leg assembly with swivel casters and L bracket (figure 4 item A) onto exit end of conveyor using 4 each Socket head Allen screws and lock washers provided. Note: The TB499 can be purchased as a Left to Right or Right to Left conveyor. Make sure you are installing the legs onto the appropriate ends of your conveyor. Item E Item F Item D Item C Figure 4 Item A (Left to right conveyor shown.) 8. With the help of another person, carefully turn conveyor upright. Item B 9. Loosen envelope knock down post just enough to allow it to be pivoted and properly positioned, as shown below. Don t loosen the thumb screw too far or the securing plate will fall off the end of the screw. Tighten the thumb screw to secure the post. Post properly positioned. 10. Install adjustable height drop tray (figure 4 item B) into slots in leg assembly (figure 4 item A). 11. Install envelope stop plate (figure 4 item C) onto drop tray using 2 hand wheel nuts provided. 12. Place envelope deflector (figure 4 item D), magnetically mounted, onto wall of leg assembly. The envelope deflector helps prevent material from flipping over as it drops into the drop tray. It is not needed in all cases. 13. Place envelope side guide (figure 4 item F), magnetically mounted, onto drop tray. RENA TB499 Installation Guide2 Rev

6 Item A Figure 5 (Left to right conveyor shown.) 14. Place exit wheel assembly (figure 5 item A) between rails of conveyor; align with mounting holes and install 2 white Phillips head screws provided. The wheels can be repositioned anywhere along the rod to meet your specific needs. Item A Item B Item C Figure 6 (Left to right conveyor shown.) 15. Install threaded end of envelope knock down rod (figure 6 item B) into hole of envelope knock down post (figure 6 item C). Install 1 white Phillips head screw through post and into threaded rod. Install envelope knock down guide (figure 6 item A) onto rod, as shown above, and secure using thumb screw. Warning! Please be sure the bottom of the envelope knock down guide does not rub against the belt or damage to the belt may result. RENA TB499 Installation Guide2 Rev

7 16. To mount optional dryer, shown below and in figure 4 item E, slide mounting rods through holes in dryer. Place dryer and rods between rails of conveyor, align with mounting holes and install 4 white Phillips head screws (mounting rods, screws and electric components supplied in dryer box). Connect the dryer s power cord to the outlet on back of the conveyor. CAUTION! Do NOT connect dryer to a separate power source or dryer damage may result. Connect dryer power cord to outlet on conveyor, as shown below. Dryer (option) 17. Place completed conveyor assembly behind delivery device (i.e. printer) with fans centered on exit end of delivery device. 18. The top of the front guide rail (figure 7 item A), should be positioned about 1 inch below the exit surface of the delivery device (i.e. printer). If height adjustment is necessary, have another person support the weight of the conveyor while you carefully loosen the 2 Hex nuts (figure 1 and 2 item B) and adjust the height of the conveyor leg assemblies. Tighten the Hex nuts to secure the conveyor at the desired height. Caution! Be careful when performing this procedure. The conveyor is heavy and can cause injury if not properly supported. Item A Figure 7 (Left to right conveyor shown.) RENA TB499 Installation Guide2 Rev

8 19. Connect conveyor power cord to an earth grounded, 105/120 VAC, 50/60 Hz electrical source. 20. Set up delivery device (i.e. printer) for desired media. 21. The setup of the conveyor; which includes drop tray height, stop plate position, envelope knock down position, belt speed, and fan combination; are in direct relation to type, size and speed of media being delivered to the conveyor. Send a test piece of media through delivery device (i.e. printer) to adjust proper distance of envelope knock down guide away from exit end of delivery device. Start (power on) conveyor; send a few test pieces of media through delivery device; set conveyor belt speed to obtain desired gap between pieces of media. Fans can be used to control media movement once it drops onto the conveyor belt. Set fan controls as desired. TB499 Control Panel Note: At very low conveyor transport speed settings the transport belt may stall easily, especially when the fans and or dryer are being used. Increase the transport speed setting to prevent this condition. 22. To raise or lower drop tray; insert hooks on drop tray into slots in leg assembly at desired height. 23. To move envelope stop plate position; loosen 2 hand wheel nuts, and reposition stop plate to accommodate the media; then tighten hand wheel nuts. Stop plate Hand wheel nuts For clarity, the drop tray is shown removed from conveyor. 24. Position envelope side guide (figure 6 item F), magnetically mounted, at desired location. 25. Send several test pieces of media through delivery device and conveyor to insure correct set up. Make adjustments if necessary. 26. You are now ready to begin running media.

9 Other TB499 Accessories Stack prop Figure 8 (Right to left conveyor shown.) Stack Prop The stack prop (small magnetic wedge) can be used to produce a gap between the drop tray surface and stack of material (envelopes). This will allow the operator enough room to get their fingers under the stack of material, making it easier to remove the material from the drop tray. Slide bar Figure 9 (Right to left conveyor shown.) Slide Bar At slower material delivery speeds you may find that the material exiting the delivery device (i.e. printer) contacts the conveyor s belt before it has totally exited the delivery device. This will cause the material to be pulled crooked and or cause material stacking problems in the drop tray. At slower material delivery speeds the slide bar may be installed, as shown above. This device keeps the envelopes above the conveyor s belt until they have completely exited the delivery device (i.e. printer). Note: The slide bar is only needed for slower material delivery speeds. This device should not be used when material is being delivered to the conveyor at a high rate of speed. RENA TB499 Installation Guide2 Rev
