SAFETY WARNINGS:
To use this unit safely, it is essential operators and maintenance people follow the safety
procedures and the safety precautions and warning specified in the manuals.
Safety Interlocks
For the safety of operators, interlocks exist for the following:
•Opening the Drawers drawer during operation, the blowers stop in order to limit the
amount of solvent fumes going out of the unit.
•Detection of the Exhaust airflow.
If any of the interlocks are not installed or closed, the unit or a specific section of the unit
will not operate.
If an interlock is activated during operation, the unit or a specific section of the unit stops
immediately. Do not open the side or rear panels during plate preparation.

Correction of the dryer 1 temperature in middle of the drawer
Before entering the new value, it is required to check the difference
between the temperature displayed and the temperature inside the
dryer. For example if the value displayed is 60°C and the
temperature inside is 56°C, 4 °C will have to be subtract from the
value displayed in P56 prior to re-enter the new value. Has to be
done when the dryer is in the regulation phase.
