Figure 4: Correct installation position of the safety spring below the holding screw of the sieve stack
Screw the sieve stack firmly onto the carrier frame using the two hexagon nuts and grub screws.
On the Youtube® channel of Pfeuffer GmbH, there is a film showing the installation of
the sieve stack on the SORTIMAT: https://www.youtube.com/user/PfeufferCOM
Place the SORTIMAT level on a solid table (weight = 27 kg). The surface should be smooth and clean
so that the suction cups will grip well.
The SORTIMAT exerts vibration forces on the base, because of the back-and-forth movements of the
sieve stack. Do not set up the SORTIMAT close to apparatus/devices that are sensitive to vibration.
Make sure there is an adequate distance to all sides so that no heat buildup can occur.
Make sure there is sufficient clearance above, because the sieve stack of the SORTIMAT is tipped by
90°.
Do not set up the SORTIMAT close to apparatus/devices that are sensitive to dust.
Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and extreme ambient conditions.
Make sure that the installation height is ergonomic according to the stature of the operating
personnel.
Connect the supplied mains cable to the SORTIMAT using the connector (C19/C20 coupler).
Connect the plug of the mains cable to a suitably earthed socked with protective earth
conductor.
Take the SORTIMAT into operation according to the instructions in chapter 7.
