Background

ThermoFlex Narrow platesetters are now connected to the Universal Debris Removal Cabinet (UDRC). However, earlier versions were connected to the Fuchs vacuum pump. This procedure describes how to connect the Fuchs vacuum pump to the ThermoFlex Narrow platesetter.

Procedure

1. In ThermoFlex Controller, send the carriage to mid position, and then open the rear door.
2. Manually open the front door.
3. Turn off ThermoFlex Controller and then turn off the electricity.
4. Lift up the unload tray.
   Note: On some of the older models, you must remove the four screws from the unload tray and remove the unload tray.
5. Open the front and rear panels.
6. Position the Fuchs vacuum pump as close as possible to the platesetter.
7. To prevent leakage, carefully spread RTV silicon glue along both ends of the 5 M vacuum hose.
8. Connect one end of the 5 M vacuum hose to the platesetter's exit tube in the back of the platesetter, on the lower right side. Connect the other end of the hose to the Fuchs vacuum pump.
9. Connect one end of the 5 M signal cable to the platesetter near the vacuum hose connection. Connect the other end of the signal cable to the vacuum pump.
10. Connect the power cable from the socket on the Fuchs vacuum pump to the power socket on the wall.
    Note: If the line power is 110 VAC, connect a 3Ph 220 transformer (212A10620) to the power cable.
