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.

3.5 Dryer/Heater Checkpoints

  1. Adjust the dryer/heater temperature control dial to 5 or 6
  2. Take the main gear off the worm gear on the inlet sensor rack of the MB. Leave it plugged in so it is active.
  3. Insert a white piece of paper into the sensor rack
  4. Check to make sure the dryer/heater switch is "on".
  5. 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.

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

  1. Make sure replenisher is in each replenishment container.
  2. Make certain the effluent container is ready.
  3. 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.
  4. Clean the air filter of the dryer once or twice a month.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
