2.1 Installation Procedures
The Ti-1000 is transported as a single unit in a carton designed to protect the machine during shipment
or mounted to a bagger (if sold as an option to a bagger). It is shipped completely assembled except for
a few items which are easily attached during installation with final adjustment. Refer to inspections,
operation, packing and crating checklists in Appendix A for options included, accessories included and
location of components shipped.
Unpacking / Inspection
After removing the printer from the container, inspect the unit for damage. If the printer is mounted to a
bagger, remove the outer wrapping and ensure the cables are plugged in securely.
Operating Environment
The Ti-1000 should be placed in an area free of excessive heat, moisture, dirt and dust. Operating room
temperature should range from 41 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit at 25 to 85% relative humidity with no
condensation.
Power Requirements
Provisions must be made for 110-120V +10%, 60 Hz line current with ground.
Power consumption for the Ti-1000 is 190W / 2.2 A max.
CAUTION: A qualified electrician should ensure that the Ti-1000 power outlet is properly grounded,
voltages are as required and amperage capacity is sufficient.
Note
: APPI recommends a dedicated 20 Amp circuit for the T-1000 w/ Ti-1000 Printer option.
Air Requirements
At least .5 CFM free air is required, regulated to 40 PSI.
