Installation
of S/D Module 2
2.1 Installation of S/D
Requires Proper Conditions
- Light-tight darkroom
- Adequate ventilation
- Safe electrical conditions. The S/D Module will need a NEMA
socket 6-20-R (see illustrations #3, 4) of its own, in addition to the one needed for the
MB. 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 Additional Requirements for S/D
Module
- Replenisher supply container for fresh Super Stabilizer
replenisher
- Overflow container to catch used Super Stabilizer. The
overflow container should be at least as large as the Super Stabilizer replenisher
container. The rate of replenishment for most brands of Super Stabilizer is generally
about twice the replenishment rate of the RA-4 Developer. (See the chemical manufacturer's
instructions for specific information.)
2.3
Installation Dimensions
Please leave space around the processor as indicated in the
drawing. It is necessary for access to the control drawer of the MB and S/D, the air
filter of the S/D, and for the various intake and overflow hoses of the processor.
A. After the MB has been checked with a level, match the S/D
with the height of the MB and then check it for level. Lock the positioning pin on the MB
to the S/D module. At the same time, attach the Connecting Sleeve of the S/D Module drive
shaft to the MB drive shaft.
B. Pour warm water into each bath (about 33o C / 90o F) in
the S/D Module. Be sure to use the supplied funnels positioned directly into the intakes
at the bottom of each bath to assure proper priming of the circulation pumps. (This is the
same technique as needed in the MB.)
C. Prepare replenisher and waste containers according to the
diagram. If the dryer drain hose or overflow hose is too short use the provided extension
hose. Normally place the replenisher containers under the processor. If you have
difficulty getting the replenisher pumps to take up the solution, temporarily raise the
fresh replenisher container higher than the processor. When the pumps have the solution
flowing properly, then return the container to a position lower than the processor.
D. Attach the connecting cable from the MB to the S/D module
as shown in Diagram #2. This wire carries the signal from the IR sensors to turn on the
dryer and to indicate to the replenisher pumps, the amount of replenisher needed for the
current print being processed.
E. Adjust the voltage setting on the S/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 all circulated baths. (MB and S/D) 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 any of the baths or you may cause serious damage to the heaters, pumps and
other components of the processor MB or S/D Modules.
3.2 Modules
S/D Modules control their temperature with thermostats,
heaters and circulating pumps. They are pre-set at the factory for approximately 35o C.
Usually this temperature is appropriate for Super Stabilizer.
If it is necessary to adjust the temperature turn the
temperature setting dial in the S/D Module Control Drawer clockwise to increase the
temperature, or counterclockwise to decrease the temperature. Pour warm water into the 1st
bath. Ensure the water is 1-2o C lower than Super Stabilizer working temperature. Check it
with a thermometer. With the processor switched on, adjust the temperature setting dial
with a screwdriver. Stop turning when the LED indicator comes on. Then turn the
temperature setting dial counterclockwise to turn the LED off. The temperature will then
be set. Wait 2-3 minutes. Then check with a thermometer again.
3.3
Replenishment
To set the replenishment rate, pull out the S/D control
drawer. (Refer to the control drawer diagram.) Each increment on the S/D replenishment
control dial represents an increase of 15 ml.
- 1 = 15 ml
- 2 = 30 ml
- 3 = 45 ml
- 9 = 135 ml
Setting the replenishment amount is otherwise the same as the
CP51 MB. The CP51 automatically calculates the replenishment amounts for each paper size,
based on both the width and length, as measured by the six IR sensors of the input rack.
The replenishment values of the scale must be considered approximate, since the actual
delivery rate may be affected by such things as the length of the replenisher hose, and
the Hz value of the current powering the processor.
The manual replenishment button is located in the control
drawer, on the underside of the chamber above the removable circuit board drawer. Manual
replenishment should be done when cleaning or when pouring the chemical solutions. If you
have difficulty getting solution to begin pumping properly, raise the replenisher supply
vessel above the processor. Then press the manual replenishment button again. Once the
replenisher pump begins drawing the solution properly, place the replenisher supply vessel
below the processor again. Place the racks in the solution slowly and carefully to avoid
any chemical 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".
- Check 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 (3.1-3.5) have been completed,
turn off the power and remove the S/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.

Preparation
for Operation 4
4.1
Pouring the Super Stabilizer
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.
Insert one of the supplied funnels into the drain hole at the
bottom of the bath. 11 liters of super stabilizer are needed to fill the total of the two
baths. Once the super stabilizer is flowing from the spray bar, then you can continue
pouring without the funnel.
4.2 Rack
Loading
When the solution is up to the ridge around the bath, then
gently lower the racks into place. Be careful not to splash the solutions outside of the
baths. Clean up any spills and replace the top cover.
NOTE: When not actually using the processor,
leave the top cover off both modules. This helps to prevent excessive condensation
buildup.
4.3 Dryer Check
Check the dryer temperature control dial in the control
drawer. Make sure that the dial is set at 5 or 6 as a starting point. Insert paper into
the MB. Change the dial setting to different levels and check that the temperature changes
accordingly.

Maintenance
5
- Make sure replenisher is in each replenishment container.
- Make certain the effluent container is ready.
- Once a week, drain the Super Stabilizer from the baths. (You
can save it for use after the cleaning if you are replenishing it.) Fill the baths with
water, let them circulate for 10-15 minutes, drain out the water and repeat. Then pour the
Super Stabilizer back in for further use. Once a month you may want to use Processor Clean
II for a thorough cleaning. See the MB instructions for further details.
- Clean the air filter of the dryer once or twice a month.
- Run one or more sheets of paper through the S/D Module to get
rid of unwanted substances which may have become stuck on 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.
