%DFNJURXQG
To prevent paper jam error messages due to unsufficient torque of the clutch, the
design of the clutch was changed to a stronger one.
In addition, the design of the belt tensioner was improved, to get a better range for
adjustement.

To protect the individual power supplies against surges from the incoming power line, a
protection circuit was added to the FUR-board.

r Change the description on the label of the cable from “FURCN6” to “FURCN3” and
connect it to CN3 on FUR board.

Note: The first machines were delivered with antistatic brushes in the exposure table which
may also cause damage of the power supplys. The countries concerned were allready
informed arround middle of august 1999.
Please make sure, that these brushes are removed.

P4-E7770 Sheet 1

%DFNJURXQG
The insulation sheet avoids the contact of the interlock switch pins to the metal cover.
It was found, that there is a possibility that faston terminals of interlock switch may
touch the metal cover, which results in burning TR8 on PWD board.

'HVFULSWLRQ

r Remove interlock switch cover

r Apply the sheet to the inside of the interlock switch cover.
An allready existing insulation should be removed.

The purpose of the sealing kit is to keep the humidity above the racks high, in order to
prevent cristalisation resulting in a high torque in the racks.
The parts of this sealing kit are used to complete the allready existing sealing in the
machine.

The material of the covers was changed to stainless steel to prevent corrosion.

'HVFULSWLRQ

r Check the installed covers if they are allready made of stainless steel by magnet. If
magnet sticks to the cover it’s not stainless steel and has to be replaced.

9.8506.9070.5 PDCON V11.33 1

%DFNJURXQG
Due to a higher operation frequency of the cut off filter solenoids, there is a higher risk
of cut off filter bouncing. With the power drive version 11.33 the holding time of the
solenoids was slightly increased, to prevent the bouncing.

'HVFULSWLRQ

r Check the installed power drive version through <INFO - software version>. If
power drive version is allready 33.00 (most of the delivered MSC 300’s),
replacement is not necessary.

Note: Version 11.00 is used on “slow scanners” (MSC 101, 100, 200)

r Replace Power Drive Eprom on SK1 (behind lamphouse fan) by using

PLCC extractor CM+9.9999.1047.0
