25. MODIFICATION M33 (MINILOADER 1)
The PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD PCB 101B, has been replaced with a new PCB 101C to further improve
the reliability of the MINILOADER. The new PCB has a SOLID STATE RELAY to replace TIMER T6.
This modification is to prevent the CONVEYOR BELT from running in reverse at the end of a cycle. It
replaces modification M28.
When the new PCB 101C is fitted, the old PCB must be returned, otherwise your country will be charged for
the modification.
TYPE 1 SELECTIVE. PART NUMBER 3090033 AVAILABLE NOW.
SERIAL NUMBERS AFFECTED :-
1162 - 1412 PLUS 1101 - 1161 with a serial number suffix M.
26. MODIFICATION M34 (MINILOADER 1)
This modification changes the speed of the CAM MOTOR to stop CAM SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS, to
prevent damage to the CAM SYSTEM RELAYS, and lengthen the life of the CAM MOTOR. The CAM
MOTOR is run at a slower speed, and the cycle time is maintained by changing the gearing of the CAM
SYSTEM.

28. PHOTOCELL FC 9 IN VER TICAL INTERFACE.
On MINILOADER 1, the PHOTOCELL FC9 ( FILM jammed at the bottom of the VERTICAL INTERFACE CHUTE ) had 4 WIRES connected to it, as the RECEIVER part was in series with PHOTOCELL
FC7.
On MINILOADER 1M, the PHOTOCELL FC9 has its own SOCKET on PCB 303. Therefore the PHOTOCELL has only 3 CONNECTIONS, as the common part of the SENDER and RECEIVER are connected
together like all other PHOTOCELLS.
All MINILOADERS left the factory with a VERTICAL INTERFACE with the correct type of FC9 CABLE
included. However, some VERTICAL INTERFACES have been mixed up in country stock, so it is possible
that you may receive an INTERFACE with the wrong CABLE.
For MINILOADER 1, the CABLE (4 WIRE) for PHOTOCELL FC9 is 30016320
For MINILOADER 1M, the CABLE (3 WIRE) for PHOTOCELL FC9 is 30016324
The connections of the PHOTOCELL LEADS to the PLUGS, after the LEADS have been passed through the
STRAIN RELIEF BUSH, are as shown below for the two types of MINILOADER.

29. CAM MOTOR AND SPROCKET.
Please not that the part number of the CAM MOTOR for all MINILOADERS is 30015658. This MOTOR
includes the SHAFT extension and the CLUTCH.
The MOTOR 30015513 does not include these parts, it is used for the CONVEYOR BELT drive.
Please amend page PL21 of your PARTS LIST PL3211/3212 (August 91) accordingly.
Make sure you use the correct SPROCKET on the CAM MOTOR.
