Installation
of W/D Module 2
2.1 Installation of W/D
Requires Proper Conditions
- Light-tight darkroom
- Nearby source of water, preferably with water temperature
control panel
- Adequate ventilation
- Safe electrical conditions. We strongly recommend the use of a
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt (GFCI) in the wiring for your CP51.
- Air conditioning/heating (as needed)
NOTE: The pumps and electronic components
will heat up the solutions 2-4o C above room temperature even when the heaters are not
running. Room temperature should be at least 5o C (9o F) lower than the programmed
temperature of the CP51 processor. i.e. If the CP51 is set for 30o C (86o F), then the
room temperature should be at or below 25o C (77o F).
2.2 Water Supply / Drainage Information
Connect a water supply hose from your water temperature
control panel to the water supply inlet pipe. The inside diameter of the hose should be 16
mm (5/8") and it should be able to withstand at least 70 lbs. of pressure. Attach the
hose to the inlet pipe as far as possible and use two hose clamps to secure it. (See
illustration #2)
If needed, attach the drain hose extension to the drain hose.
Insert the free end of the drain hose into a drain standpipe. (The extension hose should
have an inside diameter of 19 mm (3/4").
2.3 Water Supply
Requirements in use with W/D Module
- Water Temperature 30-35o C/86-95o F
(for RA-4; for other processes see chemical instructions)
- Water Pressure 1.5-5 Kg/cm2 (15 - 70
lbs. of pressure)
- Water Volume 1.5 liters per minute
(approx. 1/3 gal. per minute)
- Water pipe inside diameter 13 mm
(1/2")
- Water hose inside diameter 16 mm
(5/8")
- Filter recommendation 50 micron or
smaller (as low as 5 microns) mounted in building's plumbing system near darkroom.
2.4 Drain Requirements for W/D Module
- Drain flow 1.5 liters per minute
(1/3 gallon per minute)
- Drain overflow hose inside diameter
13mm (1/2")
- Drain hose inside diameter 19 mm
(3/4")
- Pipe material Do not use copper or
brass due to the corrosiveness of effluent.

Installation Dimensions
Please leave space around the processor. It is necessary for
access to the control drawer of the MB and W/D, the air filter of the W/D, and for the
various intake and overflow hoses of both modules.
{drawing showing...}
1. Positioning Pin
2. Connecting Sleeve
A. After the MB has been checked with a level, match the W/D
with the height of the MB and then check it for level. Lock the positioning pin on the MB
to the W/D module. At the same time, attach the Connecting Sleeve of the W/D Module drive
shaft to the MB drive shaft.
B. Attach the connecting cable from the MB to the W/D module
as shown in Diagram #2. This wire carries the signal from the IR sensors to turn on the
dryer
C. Adjust the voltage setting on the W/D to match the voltage
in your location. You should already have done this for the MB. Now is a good time to
check both settings.

Testing
for Operation 3
3.1 Powering Up
Turn on the power switch on the MB. Check to see that water
is flowing properly through both circulated baths of the MB. If the water is not flowing
through the spray bars properly, TURN OFF THE MB POWER SWITCH IMMEDIATELY! If the
circulating pumps are not primed properly, you will probably hear a noisy screeching,
indicating that the pumps are "dry" and in need of proper priming. Remove some
of the water and pour it in again being sure to use the supplied funnels to prime the
pumps. Also while the power is switched off, open and re-close the filter chamber caps to
allow air to escape. (If you try this while the power is on you will have quite a mess to
clean up!)
CAUTION!
Be sure the power switch is OFF when there are no chemicals
or water in the baths or you may cause serious damage to the heaters, pumps and other
components of the processor.
3.2 Modules
W/D Modules have no internal method for controlling the wash
water temperature. This is controlled by use of an external water temperature control
panel (such as JOBO art. no. 4190). Proper washing temperature is very important to the
quality and life expectancy of the print. If the wash water temperature gets too hot, the
paper can begin to deteriorate while washing. If the wash water temperature gets too cold,
the wash will be inadequate and retained chemicals will shorten the life of the image.
If you are planning on using a water panel other than the
JOBO 4190, make sure that it has a LOW-FLOW mixing valve in use. The 1.5 liter per minute
flow rate is much too low for standard mixing valves to maintain temperature accurately.
Place the rack in the solution slowly and carefully to avoid
any spills. Be certain to properly align the main gear of the rack with the worm gear of
the drive shaft.

Dryer/Heater Checkpoints
- Adjust the dryer/heater temperature control dial to 5 or 6
- Take the main gear off the worm gear on the inlet sensor rack
of the MB. Leave it plugged in so it is active.
- Insert a white piece of paper into the sensor rack
- Check to make sure the dryer/heater switch is "on".
- Remove the paper from the inlet sensor rack of the MB and
check the dryer standby timing.
The dryer/heater is designed to automatically turn off when
not being used. The dryer/heater has been set at "0" (at the factory), meaning
that the timer will turn off automatically 5 minutes after the last edge of the paper has
entered the inlet rack. With each additional increment of the dryer standby control dial,
the dryer will run for an additional 5 minutes.

After the above steps (3.1-3.4) have been completed,
turn off the power and remove the W/D racks and drain the baths.
CAUTION!
For ventilation purposes, turn off the main power switch ONLY
after the dryer/heater standby timer has turned off. This allows time for it to cool down
after use.

Preparation
for Operation 4
4.1
Filling W/D Baths
Be sure the power switch is OFF when there are no chemicals
or water in the baths or you may cause damage to the heaters, pumps and other components
of the processor.
Approximately 11 liters of water are needed to fill the total
of the two baths of the W/D. With the racks in place in the W/D simply turn on the water
temperature control panel, and allow sufficient time for both baths to be filled, before
starting to process. (At the 1.5 liter per minute flow rate, it will take approximately
7-8 minutes for both baths to be filled and the water to be flowing out the overflow drain
hose.
NOTE: When not actually using the processor, leave the
top cover off both modules. This helps to prevent excessive condensation buildup.
4.2 Dryer Check
Check the dryer temperature control dial in the control
drawer. Make sure that the dial is set at 5 or 6. Insert paper into the MB. Change the
dial setting to different levels and check that the temperature changes accordingly.

Maintenance
5
- Clean the air filter of the dryer once or twice a month.
- Run one or more sheets of paper through the W/D Module to
clean the rollers. It may be advisable to use "cleanup film" from time to time
for best cleaning results. These films are available from both Kodak and Fuji Film.
- Once a month add a single drop of oil (such as 3 in 1
"blue") to the main drive gear of the dryer rack. All the main drive gears of
the various racks are silicone impregnated so they should not need lubrication, but the
main drive gear of the dryer rack is exposed to a high level of heat and needs additional
lubrication.
