Xante PlateRunner P24 Supplementary Manual - page 4
Please consider the following:
• If you do not have a loading dock, please contact Xanté to
ensure that the crates arrive on a truck which is equipped with
a lift-gate.
• Please ensure that all doors between the delivery point and
the installation area are wide enough that the crates can pass
through. If not, it may be necessary to unpack equipment and
then move it to the final location.
• You should have a foklift, pallet jack, or several dollies available.
If you are using dollies, you should have enough staff on hand
to lift the crates onto the dollies.
• If the installation location is upstairs, and there is no elevator,
or the elevator cannot accommodate the crates, then you
may have to make special arrangements to put the equipment
in place.
• Consider whether it is necessary to hire a rigging company
to put the equipment in place, and set up the plate processor
(as described below). If you do hire a rigging company, discuss
with them whether it makes more sense to ship the equipment
to your facility or theirs.
• For any equipment which you have unpacked, please retain
the boxes or crates at least until the installation is complete.
That will facilitate sending it back if damage is uncovered
during the installation.
• Xanté installation crew members are not permitted to lift more
than 80 lbs. (35 kg) without assistance.
P24 PlaTe ProCeSSor
It is the customer’s responsibility to unpack and assemble the
processor and stand in the final position prior to the arrival of the
installation crew. Do not connect water or power to the proces-
sor. The stand is included in the crate with the processor. It typi-
cally requires four people, each capable of lifting 100 lbs. (45 kg),
to assemble the processor.
vm CTP SYSTem and oPTIonal STand
Please unpack the VM CTP System and (if applicable) its stand,
and place the VM CTP System in the final position prior to the
arrival of the installation crew. Do not connect power to the VM
CTP System. We recommend using four people to lift the VM
CTP System into position.
rIP and oTher ComPonenTS
Please do not unpack any other components. If any components
appear to have sustained damage during shipping, please con-
tact the Xanté Sales Coordinator at (800) 926-8839 immediately.
If it is necessary to uncrate equipment so that it will fit through a
door, please advise Xanté before doing so.
STaffInG durInG The InSTallaTIon PerIod
It is sometimes necessary to deal with specific issues regarding
the installation which might not have been anticipated prior to
installation. Please ensure that a staff member is available during
the installation who has authority to make decisions regarding
the installation, or who can act as a liaison to management.
Training is a vital component of the equipment installation,
Xanté’s experience with previous installations has shown that
the quality of the training period is the primary determinant of
success or failure with a system. Please ensure that during
the training period, the employees who will use the system
can devote their attention exclusively to the training process,
with minimal production-related interruptions. We encourage
management to state explicitly to the applicable employees that
training is the highest priority. Typically, two full work days are
spent on training.
The CTP system acts as a bridge between the prepress
and press departments, so members from both departments
should be available for training. Graphics staff should have
a thorough understanding.
