Plotter/Processor Interaction & Environment

Note: Do not connect the on line processor power and ground to the same power and ground as the Dolev 800.

The plotter is equipped with a He-Ne laser and optics which have been covered with a special optical coating.

The coating of the He-Ne laser optics determines the laser output power; the absorption losses must therefore be minimized to a few tenths of a percent. The mirror radius must be accurate to 1/20th of a wave length.

The film processor for the plotter is a source of "dirty" air and can contaminate the laser and the optics.

Plotter/Processor Location Requirements

The processor should be located in a room separate from the plotter room and with separate air-conditioning ducting. Optionally, an in-line processor may be attached to the plotter by means of a film conveyer. In such a case, the processor should be placed in a room adjoining the plotter room (with a slot in the wall). Alternatively, a separating wall must be built between the plotter and the processor.

Ensuring Plotter Room Air Cleanliness

Without exception, the following precautionary steps must be taken:

• The exhaust air from the film processor room must not be routed into the plotter room.
• The air pressure in the plotter room must be higher than the air pressure in the processor room, so that fumes from the processor will not be the plotter room.
• Fans should operate in the conveyor 24 hours a day. A shutter should be installed in the processor. This shutter will close during a power failure.

Safety Light Bright Cyan

The safety light in use is a Bright Cyan. For more details refer to the film manufacturer recommendations.
