Installation Instructions
Revision B
Priming the system
1. Connect the effluent bottle to the conditioner service port (see diagram A), make sure the effluent
bottle shutoff valve is off at this time.
2. For priming purposes, disconnect the small length of tubing between the conditioner IDS and the
“Conditioner in from IDS” port. Then connect the main conditioner trunk line (normally connected to
the “Conditioner out to print heads” port) to the output of the conditioner ids (see diagram below).
3. To prime the flushing system for the first time after installation, hold the prime button and
simultaneously depress the power button on the “conditioner” and “ink” IDS’s. The pump will
automatically start, and will run for up to 20 cycles, pushing conditioner into the lines. The pump
will turn off when the accumulator reaches its normal operating pressure. If there is excessive air in
the lines, the process may need to be repeated, as the pump will turn off automatically after 20
cycles.
4. A small amount of conditioner / ink will now be visible in their respective trunk lines. Revert the
plumbing at the back of the conditioner IDS back to its normal operation state per Diagram A.
5. It will still be necessary to bleed the air from the lines. At the IJ3000 controller open the
Print Menu
and touch the
Flush Print Heads
button, this will display the “Flush Print Heads” screen. Open the
conditioner valve by touching the
OPEN
button below the “Conditioner Valve” notation. Do not exit
the “Flush Print Heads” screen, doing so will close the conditioner valve and open the ink valve.
6. Open the shutoff valve at the effluent bottle assembly by pushing together until the connections snap
into place; this will allow air to flow out of the conditioner trunk line. As soon as conditioner begins
flowing into the effluent bottle, close the shutoff valve and disconnect the assembly.
7. Move the effluent bottle assembly to the first tee valve (5700-509) in the trunk line and connect it.
Open the shutoff valve at the effluent bottle assembly allowing the air to flow out. As soon as
