THERMISTOR, R3, are looked at by the 500 Board.

WASH WATER SOLENOID, L1, and the
DEVELOPER COOLING SOLENOID, L2. In the
event that developer temperature goes .5°F above
set temperature, it opens the DEVELOPER
COOLING SOLENOID which is in the DRAIN of the
WASH TANK. It also turns on WASH WATER

minute; the rate of L2 is 1.2 gallons per minute; and
the DRAIN is routed through the cooling loop at the
bottom of the DEVELOPER TANK.

Fixer Temperature Control thermistor is R4. The 500 Board senses the
variations in resistance. K503 is the enable. The
Resistance, or R4, is sensed by the GPMC (500
Board) and is used to control SSRU2. K504 enables
the DEVELOPER HEATER. SSRU2 controls the
DEVELOPER HEATER. K503 turns on the
RECIRCULATING PUMP, B5. So we have a very
large swing — plus 15°F, minus 10°F — and is
variations are used to control SOLID STATE RELAY
U5. The FIXER HEATER is R4. FIXER HEATER
R4 has an internal overtemperature THERMOSTAT
that in the event of loss of recirculation, it will open.
The 500 Board also turns on K503 which turns on
the RECIRCULATION PUMP, B5.
