SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Installation Environment

Safety considerations usually are directed toward machine design and the possibility of human error. In addition, the environment in which a machine is operated must not be overlooked as a potential safety hazard.

Most electrical equipment is safe when installed in a normal environment. However, if the environment is different from what most people consider to be normal, it is conceivable that the combination of the machine and the room air could present a hazardous combination. This is because heat (such as from fusing units) and electrical arcs (which can occur inside switches) have the ability to ignite flammable substances, including air.

When installing a machine, check to see if there is anything nearby which suggests that a potential hazard might exist. For example, a laboratory might use organic compounds which, when they evaporate, make the room air volatile. Potentially dangerous conditions might be seen or smelled. The presence of substances such as cleaners, paint thinners, gasoline, alcohol, solvents, explosives, or similar items should be cause for concern.

If conditions such as these exist, take appropriate action, such as one of the following suggestions.

Determine that the environment is controlled (such as through the use of an exhaust hood) so that an offending substance or its fumes cannot reach the machine.

Remove the offending substance.

Install the machine in a different location.

The specific remedy will vary from site to site, but the principles remain the same. To avoid the risk of injury or damage, be alert for changes in the environment when performing subsequent service on any machine, and take appropriate action.

Unauthorized Modifications

Konica copiers have gained a reputation for being reliable products. This has been attained by a combination of outstanding design and a knowledgeable service force.

The design of the copier is extremely important. It is the design process that determines tolerances and safety margins for mechanical, electrical, and electronic aspects. It is not reasonable to expect individuals not involved in product engineering to know what

effect may be caused by altering any aspect of the machine’s design. Such changes have the potential of degrading product performance and reducing safety margins.

For these reasons, installation of any modification not specifically authorized by Konica Business Machines U.S.A., Inc., is strictly prohibited.

The following list of prohibited actions is not all-inclu- sive, but demonstrates the intent of this policy.

Using an extension cord or any unauthorized power cord adapter.

Installing any fuse whose rating and physical size differs from that originally installed.

Using wire, paper clips, solder, etc., to replace or eliminate any fuse (including temperature fuses).

Removing (except for replacement) any air filter.

Defeating the operation of relays by any means (such as wedging paper between contacts).

Causing the machine to operate in a fashion other than as it was designed.

Making any change which might have a chance of defeating built-in safety features.

Using any unspecified replacement parts.

General Safety Guidelines

This copier has been examined in accordance with the laws pertaining to various product safety regulations prior to leaving the manufacturing facility to protect the operators and service personnel from injury. However, as with any operating device, components will break down through the wear-and-tear of everyday use, as will additional safety discrepancies be discovered. For this reason, it is important that the technician periodically performs safety checks on the copier to maintain optimum reliability and safety.

The following checks, not all-inclusive, should be made during each service call:

CAUTION: Avoid injury. Ensure that the copier is disconnected from its power source before continuing.

Look for sharp edges, burrs, and damage on all external covers and copier frame.

Inspect all cover hinges for wear (loose or broken).

Inspect cables for wear, frays, or pinched areas.

v

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Ensure that the power cord insulation is not damaged (no exposed electrical conductors).

Ensure that the power cord is properly mounted to the frame by cord clamps.

Check the continuity from the round lug (GND) of the power cord to the frame of the copier -- ensure continuity. An improperly grounded machine can cause an electrically-charged machine frame.

Safeguards During Service Calls

Confirm that all screws, parts, and wiring which are removed during maintenance are installed in their original positions.

When disconnecting connectors, do not pull the wiring, particularly on AC line wiring and high voltage parts.

Do not route the power cord where it is likely to be stepped on or crushed.

Carefully remove all toner and dirt adhering to any electrical units or electrodes.

After part replacement or repair work, route the wiring in such a way that it does not contact any burrs or sharp edges.

Do not make any adjustments outside of the specified range.

Applying Isopropyl Alcohol

Care should be exercised when using isopropyl alcohol, due to its flammability. When using alcohol to clean parts, observe the following precautions:

Remove power from the equipment.

Use alcohol in small quantities to avoid spillage or puddling. Any spillage should be cleaned up with rags and disposed of properly.

Be sure that there is adequate ventilation.

Allow a surface which has been in contact with alcohol to dry for a few minutes to ensure that the alcohol has evaporated completely before applying power or installing covers.

Summary

It is the responsibility of every technician to use professional skills when servicing Konica products. There are no short cuts to high-quality service. Each copier must be thoroughly inspected with respect to safety considerations as part of every routine service call. The operability of the copier, and more importantly, the safety of those who operate or service the copier, are directly dependent upon the conscientious effort of each and every technician.

Remember...when performing service calls, use good judgement (have a watchful eye) to identify safety hazards or potential safety hazards that may be present, and correct these problem areas as they are identified -- the safety of those who operate the copier as well as those who service the copier depend on it!

b. Up/down plate down drive operation

The up/down plate automatically lowers by 120 mm when the top cover is opened. Subsequently, it is lowered by 120 mm each time SW100 (LT tray down drive switch) is pressed.

*2: Remaining paper detection

The LCT is equipped with a remaining paper detection gear which rotates together with M100 (LT up/down) driving the up/down plate.

The remaining paper detection gear has an actuator to turn ON/OFF PS102 (LT remaining paper detection PS1), PS103 (LT remaining paper detection PS2), PS104 (LT remaining paper detection PS3), and PS105 (LT remaining paper detection PS4).

The up/down plate is lifted with the up/down wires. When the top cover closes, M100 (LT up/down) rotates and the up/down plate connected to the up/down wires rises.

LT-401/LT-411

Each sensor is turned ON/OFF according to the rotating position of the remaining paper detection gear and since this is linked with the up/down position of the up/down plate, the remaining paper quantity in the LCT can be determined by monitoring the ON/OFF of each sensor. The remaining paper quantity detected with the four sensors is displayed on the main body display.

The first paper is fed by the paper feed roller and the feed roller driver by M101(LT paper feed) via MC101(LT feed MC). The feed roller ass'y is lowered by SD100 (first paper-feed) to touch the paper when MC101 (LT feed) turns ON and drive SD100 (LT first paper feed). After touching and feeding the paper, the feed roller ass'y is raised by SD100 (LT first paper feed) to release the feed roller ass'y from the paper. Then, the paper is fed into the paper conveyance section by the paper feed roller which is driven by M101 via MC102 (LT first paper feed).

The related signals are: PS100 (LT top cover open/ close detection), PS106 (LT feed), PS107 (LT preregistration), and PS110 (LT jam access door open/ close detection).

1.Operation

a.First paper feed timing

Normally, this machine feeds paper at a speed of 600 mm/s. When the longitudinal length of paper is 300 mm or more, this machine cannot complete paper ejection even if paper has reached the image transfer section. The paper feed speed of the image transfer section is 370 mm/s at this time. Therefore, the LT-411 in which paper with a longitudinal length of 300 mm or more is set changes the paper feed speed from

7

LT-401/LT-411

600 mm/s to 370 mm/s for the image transfer section.

Paper with a longitudinal length of less than 300 mm/s is ejected before it reaches the image transfer section, so the paper feed speed is fixed at 600 mm/s.

The description given under “Paper with a longitudinal length of less than 300 mm is fed in the following case:” also covers the operation of the LT-401 that can handle only the paper with a length of less than 300 mm.

(1)Start of first paper feed

Paper with a longitudinal length of less than 300 mm is fed in the following case:

At predefined interval after the START button is pressed(Paper feed speed does not change.)

Paper with a longitudinal length of 300 mm or more is fed in the following case: High-speed paper feed starts when the specified time lapses after the START button is pressed. The high speed paper feed feed is switched to the low speed paper feed after PS44 (second paper feed) is turned ON and loop is formed.

(2)Start of second and subsequent papers

When PS106 (LT feed) is turned OFF by the preceding paper, the paper feed speed is low for the paper with a longitudinal length of 300 mm or more.This low speed paper feed is switched to the high speed paper feed for the next paper as soon as PS107(LT preregistration) is turned OFF.

(3)OFF timing

When the specified time lapses after PS106 is turned OFF by the last paper

b.Interlock

The power supply line of M101 (LT paper feed) is equipped with MS101 (LT interlock MS1) and MS102 (LT interlock MS2). When the top cover is opened, MS101 turns OFF, and when the jam access door is opened MS102 turns OFF, thereby cutting off the power supply to M101.

Furthermore, the top cover is equipped with PS100 (LT top cover open/close detection) and the jam access door is equipped with PS110 (LT jam access door open/close detection) and when either of these doors is opened during paper feed, the M101 drive signal is turned OFF to stop the paper feed operation.

c.Internal heater

The LCT is equipped with HTR101 (LT internal heater) to protect the paper from humidity. HTR101 is directly controlled by the main body ACDB (AC drive board) rather than by the LTDB (LT drive board).

When the top cover opens or closes, M100 (LT up/ down motor) rotates forward or backward to move the up/down plate up or down.The up/down plate descends by 120 mm each time SW100 (LT tray down drive switch) is pressed while the top cover is opened. The related signals are PS100 (LT top cover open/close detection), PS101 (LT lower limit detection), and PS109 (LT upper limit detection).

1.Operation

a. Up/down plate descend timing

(1)ON timing

When the top cover is opened and PS100 is turned OFF, M100 rotates backward to lower the up/down plate.

When SW100 (LT tray down drive switch) turns ON by pressing, M100 rotates backward to move the up/down plate down.

(2)OFF timing

M100 turns OFF at predefined interval after PS100 turns OFF or SW100 turns ON. This in turn lowers the up/down plate by 120 mm.

(3)Others

The up/down plate descends by 120 mm each time SW100 is pressed until PS101 turns ON to indicate the bottom limit of the up/down plate.

b.Up/down plate ascend timing

(1)ON timing

When the top cover is closed and PS100 is turned ON, M100 rotates forward to raise the up/down plate.

(2)OFF timing

When the up/down plate rises and PS109 (LT upper limit detection) turns ON to indicate the detection of the topmost paper, M100 turns OFF and stops the up/down plate.

The up/down plate also stops when the top cover is opened and PS100 turns OFF.
