Machine Type Designation: AS200jet
The AS200jet is specially designed for the dry sieving and the particle size
determination of fine-grained, dry, pourable and dispersed bulk materials. The
sieve holder is particularly suitable for the Retsch 203-mm-diameter test sieves.
This device offers user-friendly operation with rotary knob control and a large
graphic display. All sieve parameters are set, indicated and monitored digitally.
Work is also made easier by the possibility of storing up to 9 and 10 (QUICK
START) parameter combinations directly in the sieve shaker for frequently
repeated sieving operations under the same conditions. The QUICK START key
allows direct access to a combination of parameters.
The device can be controlled and adjusted with the EasySieve® evaluation
software. With EasySieve® all sieve parameters are displayed on the screen
before and during the sieving procedure.
The AS200jet can then reduce the average sieving times in samples with a high
fine fraction.

Technical data
NOTICE
Area of use of the machine
– This machine is a laboratory machine designed for 8-hour single-shift
operation.
•This machine may not be used as a production machine nor is it
intended for continuous operation.
NOTE
Defects in components due to liquids
Penetration of liquids inside the housing
– Components are damaged and the correct functioning of the device is no
longer assured.
• Do not use this device for any wet sieving.
CAUTION
Hearing damage or hearing loss
Suction noise at the suction opening
– The volume and/or force of drawn-in air can damage
hearing or cause hearing loss.
•Keep your ears away from the air inlet in the channel.
Use hearing protection.
CAUTION
V0050
Failure to hear acoustic signals
Loud suction noise on the air inlet
– It is possible that some acoustic warnings and voice communication may
not be noticed.
•Take the strength of the suction noise into consideration when
designing your acoustic signals in the working environment.
Possibly additionally use visual signals.

Noise characteristics:
The noise is measured in accordance with DIN 45635-031-01-KL3
The AS 200 jet itself is constructed in a manner that prevents any significant
development of noise.
The noise characteristics of the connected industrial vacuum cleaner depend on
the set suction force and suction load.
When the NILFISK HDS2000 is used at max. suction stage II, the average sound
pressure level without sample filling is 72dB.
To reduce the suction noise, the provided sound absorber (IS) can be connected to

The AS 200 jet has an air nozzle, which is set rotating. The sieve with lid is put on
top of that. A vacuum unit generates a jet of air, which disperses the particles
through the air nozzle on the sieve. The material, which is smaller than the sieve’s
mesh size is transported by the backflow of the air into the cyclone or directly into
the vacuum cleaner. The jet of air de-agglomerates the particles and cleans the
The AS200jet is intended for Retsch test sieves with a diameter of 203mm (8
inches) and a height of 25mm (1 inch) or 50mm (2 inches). The range of mesh
fineness extends from 10µm to approx. 4mm.
Fig. 7: Inserting the test sieve
Place the sieve in the nozzle compartment (T).
Close the sieve with the air jet sieve lid (A) intended for the respective sieve height. NOTE
The AS200jet cannot be started until the sieve has been inserted and the lid put
on.

WARNING
W0007
Electric shock
Faulty power cable
– When you switch the device on there is danger of an electrical shock if the
power cable for the external suction device is damaged.
•Before use, check the power cable between the sieve device and the

The sieve lid for 50-mm (2-inch) sieves lies on the top edge of the sieve (1).
The AS200jet can be operated only with a suction extractor, such as for example a
vacuum cleaner. We recommend the use of the Retsch industrial vacuum cleaner,
which is available as an accessory.
Before starting to use the Retsch industrial vacuum cleaner, read the
accompanying operating manual.
Fig. 10: Connection of the Retsch industrial vacuum cleaner
• As required, connect the manual suction force adjuster to the
air outlet channel (H).
•Connect your vacuum cleaner’s suction tube to the air outlet
channel (H) or to the manual suction force adjuster.
• Insert the type F IEC C14 connector on the vacuum cleaner
into the IEC C13 panel-mounted outlet (P).
The power for the Retsch industrial vacuum cleaner is supplied from the AS200jet.
5.8.1 Vacuum cleaner function
By means of the vacuum cleaner menu item, the industrial vacuum cleaner
connected to the IEC C13 panel-mounted outlet (P) can be used for cleaning the
device too.
•Pull the industrial vacuum cleaner’s suction hose out of the air outlet channel
(H).
• Navigate to the menu item Manual suction apparatus.
• To turn the vacuum cleaner off, press the STOP button or use the turn-andpush dial.

EasySieve®, the software package from RETSCH for grain size analyses, is
superior to manual evaluation in many respects. This is because the software is
able to perform the required measuring and weighing processes automatically –
from determining the weights of the sieves to evaluating the data. And in a much
more simple and comfortable manner – thus making life “easier”.
The software is structured in a self-explanatory way and follows the logical chain of
events involved in analysing grain sizes. This makes it possible to use it with
confidence in a fairly short time. The multiplicity of evaluation options additionally
provides the utmost flexibility in adapting to demanding, individual applications.

Check the degree of soiling of the vacuum cleaner filter regularly and change the
filter where applicable.

7.1.3 Maintenance
This device is essentially maintenance-free if cleaned regularly.
It is possible to calibrate the differential pressure sensor within the context of the
DIN EN ISO 9001:2000 ff. Please contact your dealer or Retsch GmbH.

7.2 Calibrating the pressure sensor (checking of the differential pressure)
•With the operating button, navigate to the sensor calibration menu point.
Manual operation sensor
• Confirm the start of calibration by pressing the operating button.
• Press the START button
The instrument will now activate the vacuum cleaner and you can start the
measurement. The air nozzle will not turn and the analog value of the differential
pressure will be shown in the display.
•Compare this value on the display of your AS200 jet with the reading of your
measuring tool.
If necessary change the setting of the manual vacuum regulation to check further
measuring points. The actual pressure will be displayed until to press the STOP
button.
