1 Customer Responsibilities CRON HDI-920 Site Planning You are responsible for providing the following items below to help ensure a trouble free installation. Adequate delivery access (i.e. Company Loading Dock), internal door dimensions and space available to accommodate the unit. Determination of the exact location of the HDI-CTP, with adequate floor space around it to perform installation, testing and maintenance. Having the tools to calibrate the plates and perform ongoing calibration. Meeting environmental requirements regarding temperature, humidity, vibration, and safe lighting. External power source supplied. DEDICATED circuit is recommended. Compatible plates are on site and available for use. Correct Plate Processor and chemistry are on site and available, if required. Location for the host Computer must be no more than 1.83m (6 ft) from the USB connection point on the HDI-CTP. 100Base T network connection (or faster) to Host Computer from existing prepress workflow. Assignment of one responsible individual to perform liaison duties with CRON ECRM prior to installation, and authority to sign official acceptance of the system after installation is complete. CRON ECRM reserves the right to withhold from installing equipment if the hardware and environmental requirements in the following section are not specifically met. Failure to meet these requirements may void the warranty. Page 1 of 10

2 HDI-920 CTP System (Front View) <----USB Port connector Above: The right-hand side of the digital imager is best location for the host computer (LaBoo) as this side is the USB connection point. Below: The rear of the unit has the cooling fans and filtered exhaust portal (6" pipe). It is common to see customer bring in a hose connection to vent above ceiling to reduce ablation odors.

3 HDI-CTP Electrical Power 2 x 220 volt single phase 60Hz, 20A. Ground wires must be provided in each of the 220 volt AC supply lines. All CRON HDI-CTP units require Volt AC wiring. If the voltage is below 220 volts AC, buck boost transformers will be required. For a CRON HDI-CTP, a 0.75 KVA buck boost will be the correct rating on each of the two AC supply lines. Ground bonding a separate ground bond wire should be connected between the CTP chassis ground stud, the rear metal chassis of the PC and the rear metal chassis of the UPS. CRON ECRM use two of this model of buck boost transformer in our sites Page 3 of 10

5 Crated dimensions and weight Length (mm) Width (mm) Height (mm) Weight (Kg) Cron HDI Cron 6KVA UPS Un-Crated dimensions and weight Cron HDI-920 Length Width Height Weight (mm) (mm) (mm) (Kg) Cron 6KVA UPS Operating Environment Requirements Working environment for CTP: Temperature: degrees C (23C degrees is recommended) Humidity: 40% 60% (50% is recommended) Air quality: 50 Air Pollution Index (API) 100 Facility Requirements: Air conditioner, humidifier, dehumidifier, air cleaner. Location of LaBoo PC for Cron. The PC for the Cron and its operating program called LaBoo, needs to be located at the right front side of the CTP. This is to keep the USB 2.0 cable supplying data between the PC and the Cron CTP short and also as the Laboo program is also the CTP control panel, the operator will require the PC and Monitor next to the machine. Machine arrival The CRON system ships inside wooden crates. The customer will need a loading bay suitable to unload the crates from the delivery truck and then store the crates until the site installation engineers arrive to unpack. Under no circumstances should the customer unpack the crated equipment. The customer will require a fork lift truck that can lift the equipment weight and have forks long enough to fully go under the crated machine. Fork lift truck with capacity to lift greater than 3307 Lbs. (1500KG) required. The length of the forks should be greater than 59 (150cm). Page 5 of 10

6 Uncrating & Movement to final site. Note: During uncrating by CRON ECRM engineers, the HDI-CTP may need to be raised 1.5m from the ground by fork lift truck to be able to remove some shipping locks located under the machine. The area chosen for uncrating must have adequate ceiling height to allow for this. Once uncrated, the HDI-CTP is on fairly robust wheels and can be pushed to site. Corridors and turning radius need to be large enough to accommodate the machine movements. If the final HDI-CTP site is on a different floor to the delivery/storage/uncrating area, a lift large enough and capable of taking the uncrated machine weight will be required. Industrial elevator with the carrying capacity greater than 1500kg. Doors and corridors between the uncrating area and the installation site must be sufficiently wide and 107cm so as to move machines into the room. The leveling of the CTP flooring should be maintained at ±4mm Other access options are by using a crane and riggers to move the equipment up and through windows to site. If this is required, it is the customer s responsibility to make and pay for any such siting arrangements. Site floor loading Capable of supporting greater than 2860 Lbs. (1300KG). Physical room space requirements Plan layout based upon machine dimensions and allowing for plate processors and/or finishing equipment. Service access in consideration of the space reserved surrounding machine, the minimum preferred distance around the machine should be 100cm to allow for service access. Page 6 of 10

8 Room Safelight Conditions Room light conditions should comply with media types being used with the Cron HDI-CTP. Please refer to your media vendor s specifications and recommendations for the safe light conditions relating to your specific plate type. All windows of the safelight room will need to be covered with a material that adheres to the safelight specification for the media being used. Additionally, any external windows that allow sunlight may require additional safelight protection in order to safeguard the media from any inadvertent fogging or blinding. Appropriate Safe lighting materials can be obtained from Encapsulite: Air Quality Dust can impair the optimum operation of the CTP. Therefore, the environment should be as dust free as possible. Avoid positioning the CTP near offset presses where powder dust is prevalent. Hardware Arrival Upon receipt of the CTP and peripherals, you should store the system to meet temperature and humidity requirements as specified above. Caution: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR UNPACKING THE CRON EQUIPMENT. THIS IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF CRON ECRM, OR IT S AUTHORIZED DEALERS, AND IF HARDWARE OR ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS ARE VIOLATED, WILL VOID EQUIPMENT WARRANTY. Page 8 of 10
