Installing the Light Tight kit on a Magnus 800 multi-cassette autoloader


Product

 

Kodak® Magnus 800™ multi-cassette autoloader


Background

 

When the Light Tight kit (part number 518-02700A) is installed on a Magnus 800 multi-cassette autoloader, it prevents external light from entering the device. The reduction in external light enables operators to expose highly sensitive Kodak Thermal Direct non-process plates on a Magnus 800 platesetter.


Requirements

 

Light Tight kit (518-02700A)


Procedure

 

The Light Tight kit is only effective if the site is adequately prepared. Before installing the kit, implement the following working conditions:

  • The Magnus 800 platesetter, multi-cassette autoloader, and plate stack must be located in a room with a yellow light source.
  • The Magnus 800 computer and workstation may be in either the same room as the device, or an adjoining room.
  1. Install nine black adhesive labels (518-02634A) on the autoloader:
    • Install six adhesive labels (three per each side) over the holes located on the interior of the autoloader.
      Note: Black adhesive label 1 is larger than labels 2 and 3.



    • Install three black adhesive labels over the holes located on the underside of the loading conveyor.



  2. Install four black adhesive labels (252-16277A) over the four holes located on each corner of the multi-cassette autoloader. The holes are accessable when the top covers are removed.



  3. Install the the multi-cassette unit E-box cover (252-13724A-51) over the existing internal E-box cover.
    1. Remove the two screws securing the original internal cover.
    2. Install the supplied cover (252-13724A-51).
    3. Secure the supplied cover with the two screws removed in step 3a.



  4. To prevent plates from being exposed to external light, wedge a piece of foam (252-16278A) into the gap formed between the multi-cassette unit and the autoloader.



  5. Install the Velcro® fasteners and Light Tight covers onto the multi-cassette autoloader, as described below:

Applying the Velcro fasteners

Velcro fasteners are comprised of two layers: a hook layer, which is a piece of fabric covered with tiny plastic hooks, and a loop layer, which is covered with even smaller and hairier plastic loops.

  1. For each of the Light Tight kit covers, separate the strip of Velcro loop layer from the hook layer.
    Note: The hook layer is sewn into the Light Tight kit covers.
  2. Use a cloth, dampened in isopropyl alcohol, to clean all the surface areas of the multi-cassette autoloader where the strips are to be installed.
  3. When installing the Velcro strips onto the multi-cassette autoloader, press hard on the back of the strips to ensure that they stick securely to the device.
