SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Your photographic equipment is powered by mains electricity,
and is designed to comply with international electrical safety
standards. However, basic safety precautions must always be
followed when operating electrical equipment, including the
following, where applicable:
Read and understand all instructions and equipment labels.
Close supervision is necessary when the equipment is being used
by inexperienced personnel.
Take care to avoid burns. Some internal parts of the equipment
can become very hot with continuous use.
Do not operate equipment that has been dropped or damaged,
or has damaged electrical leads. Have the equipment examined
by qualified personnel.
Do not allow any electrical lead to touch hot surfaces.
Ensure the leads are arranged such that they cannot be pulled or
tripped over.
Ensure extension leads are of a suitable current rating to prevent
the lead overheating.
Always unplug or isolate the equipment when it is not in use.
Never pull plugs out by holding the lead.
For equipment connected to the electrical mains supply by a plug
and socket arrangement, ensure the socket is installed near to the
equipment and is easily accessible at all times.
Do not touch electrical components with wet or damp hands.
Ensure the air flow through the vents is not obstructed when
equipment is switched on.
Do not dismantle the equipment unless you are qualified to do
so. Incorrect assembly can cause hazards both to yourself and to
the equipment.
All equipment, no matter how well made, can break down and,
therefore, must not be left unattended for long periods of time
while it is switched on.

Always unplug or isolate the equipment before connecting or
disconnecting any plugs supplying electrical power to or from the
equipment.
Always obey local codes of practice, particularly for installation
requirements.
Do not destroy these instructions

INTRODUCTION

See figure 1.1.
The ILFOLAB 2150RC table-top processing system is designed for
low to medium volume users of paper. Typically, up to 1000
20˙3x25˙4cm (8x10 inch) prints can be processed on one fill of
chemicals. The system is very easy to install, operate and
maintain, and provides black and white prints on resin coated
papers up to a maximum width of 50.8cm (20 inches). The prints
are fully processed and dried to a very high standard.
This manual gives full instructions for installing and operating the
complete system. By disregarding all references to the dryer, this
manual also describes the processor when used alone.
For ease of description, it is assumed the left and right hand sides
of the processor are determined when facing the processor at the
paper feed (front) end. The left and right hand sides of the dryer
module are determined with the dryer module removed from the
processor and the paper feed side facing (ie the side normally
facing away from the operator). Unless otherwise stated, the
50Hz system is shown.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Chemicals
For optimum results always use recommended ILFORD chemicals.
Before handling ILFORD chemicals please ensure you are familiar
with the information detailed in the ILFORD Photochemical Safety
Data Sheets supplied as part of the chemicals pack.
Automatic rinsing
This is a feature designed to simplify regular cleaning operations
and, therefore, to keep major strip-down cleaning to a minimum.
Colour coding
Roller racks are colour coded: red for developer, green for fixer
and white for wash water. Do not interchange the roller racks for
any reason. The same colour coding is used on the drain outlets
at the rear of the processor, the standpipes in the working and
front tanks and the covers on the front tanks.
Operation
A wall chart, which summarises the regular operating procedures,
is supplied with this manual.

See figure 2.1.
PROCESSOR
Control switch
The control switch has two positions:
Position ‘0’
The processor and dryer are switched off.
Position ‘|’
The processor and dryer are switched on.
‘Mixing’ light
Illuminates when the processor is automatically mixing fresh
chemicals.
‘Ready’ light
Provides two indications:
Flashing
Indicates the system is not ready for use (chemicals are being
mixed or heated).
Steady on
Indicates the system is ready.
Note
The ‘ready’ light switches off when a sheet is fed into the
processor, and switches on when the processor is ready to
accept the next sheet. In this way, the ‘ready’ light serves as a
visual feed indicator, and is synchronised with the audible feed
indicator (see 7 Audible signals).
‘Power’ light
Illuminates when the processor control switch is set to position |’.
‘Warning’ light
Illuminates when the solution level in either of the front tanks is
low. Under normal operating conditions, the levels will not fall
sufficiently for the ‘warning’ light to switch on.

Water feed button
See figure 2.2.
Located on the processor to the right of the front tanks under the
processor lid. The water feed button controls the water supply for
diluting chemical concentrates, and for rinsing the processor.
Audible signals
There are four different signals:
Feed indicator
A single audible signal is made indicating the processor is ready
to accept the next sheet. This signal is synchronised with the
‘ready’ light (see 3 ‘Ready’ light).
Incorrect feed
A continuous audible signal is made lasting the length of a sheet.
This signal indicates that a sheet has been fed before the ‘ready’
light has stopped flashing (see 3 ‘Ready’ light).
Rinsing cycle complete
Three audible signals are made indicating the rinsing cycle is
complete (see section 7).
Warning indicator
A series of audible signals are made. The warning signal sounds
if the processor lid remains open 30 seconds after pressing the
water feed button, or if the solution level in either of the front
tanks is low. If left unchecked, the signal continues for three
minutes and the processor is then automatically switched off.
