I.   INSTALLATION

1. DES 2400 Unit
Connect the power cord to the DES 2400 unit and to any conventional grounded 115v AC outlet.

2. Stacker Box Attachment
1. Open the knurled head screw located at the lower right side of the DES 2400 unit.
2. Place the front left edge of the stacker against the right edge of the DES 2400 unit.
3. Feed the slot located at the lower left corner of the stacker towards the screw on the DES 2400 unit.
4. When the front edge of the stacker is perfectly aligned with the front edge of the DES 2400 unit, tighten the knurled head screw.

II. OPEPATION

1. Power On
1. Connect the power cord to the DES 2400 unit and to a conventional 115v AC outlet.
2. Turn on/off switch in back right side of unit to the ON position.
3. The motor may turn on and the red LED on the front panel will light.
4. If no check is inserted after 10 seconds the motor will turn off if it was on. The red LED will remain on unless the power switch is manually turned off or the cover is opened.
5. Placing a new check into the feed slot will reactivate the motor automatically.

2. Check Feeding

1. Checks to be destripped should be feed one at a time with the face of the check towards the operator and the strip at the bottom of the document. To ensure correct destripping, place checks into the feeder trough. The DES 2400 can handle glued or taped strips.
2. The unit will cut the strip and automatically discard the strip into the receptacle at the back of the check stacker box. The destripped checks will fall into the stacker. The strip receptacle should be emptied for every 600 checks destripped to avoid jamming the path to the receptacle. Between emptying periods push strips away to clear the check strip exit path.
3. Pat checks down once they begin piling more horizontally and not falling into the “V” of the stacker. The stacker box can hold approximately 150-180 destripped checks. Stacking more than 180 destripped checks in the check stacker box my cause checks to stack out of order.

 

Figure 2. DES 2400 Destrtpper Unit

1. Try moving the check towards the left (check feed) side of the machine to clear the jam.
2. If unsuccessful,
1. Open the cover.
TO OPEN DES 2400 COVER:
Turn the power switch to the OFF position. Unplug the power cord Loosen the knurled head screws located at the lower front right and left sides of the destripper unit. Lift the cover.

2. Open front tracks if needed.
TO OPEN FRONT TRACKS:
Loosen the knurled head screws that fasten the track support feet 2.3 turns and pull the track toward you.
3. Move the jammed check towards the left (check feed) side of the DES 2400 unit.
4. If necessary, rotate the wheel located under the base plate on the right side counterclockwise to back the check from the jam area.
5. After the check is cleared, MAKE SURE THE SLOTS ON THE TRACK SUPPORT FEET ARE FULLY IN CONTACT WITH THE KNURLED HEAD SCREWS and tighten the screws.

3. Close cover.
4. Connect power cord back into outlet and turn power on to continue operation.

 

Figure 3. Inner and Outer Rotary Blades

1. In the event of a gum surface buildup on the stacker, clean the stacker with a cotton-tip swab lightly dipped in 100% isopropyl alcohol to ensure correct stacking.
2. After 1,000-2.000 checks have been destripped (this amount is equivalent to filling the stacker approximately 5-10 times), the inner and outer blades must be cleaned.

CAUTION:  Be careful not to apply excessive direct pressure against the face of either the outer or inner blades with the cotton-Lip swab or the orangewood stick. Too much pressure could cause misalignment, resulting in improper destripping. The only took that should touch either the outer or inner blades are the orangewood stick and the cotton-tip swab. NEVER USE A METAL OBJECT TO CLEAN THE BLADES.

1. TURN POWER OFF. UNPLUG THE POWER CORD.
2. Open cover.
3. Lightly dip a cotton-tip swab into a l00% isopropyl alcohol bottle. Place the cotton-tip swab on the blade base while rotating the knob under the base plate. The alcohol on the cotton-tip swab will remove the paper and adhesive from the blade and the blade base after a few rotations.
4. Using an orangewood stick, apply the point of the stick to the outer blade cylinder base. Hold the stick stationary while rotating the knob under the base plate. The wood stick will peel the adhesive buildup from the surface of the blade and the blade base.
5. Close cover.
6. Plug power cord back into outlet. Turn power on to continue operation.

1. TURN POWER OFF. UNPLUG THE POWER CORD.
2. Open cover.
3. Looking through the inspection window, apply a cotton-tip swab lightly covered in 100% isopropyl alcohol through the opening on the right side of the blade housing. Place the cotton-tip swab on the ledge of the blade where dirt has collected. Rotate the blades with the knob as before.
4. Looking through the inspection window on top of the blade housing, insert an orangewood stick through the opening on the right side of the blade housing. Apply the point of an orangewood stick to the upper ledge of the inner blade. Hold the stick stationary while rotating the blade with the knob as described above. The wood stick will peel the adhesive buildup.
5. Close cover.
6. Plug power cord back into outlet. Turn power on to continue operation.

WARNING:    Turn off power and unplug power cord before lifting the DES 2400 unit cover for any reason.
