[pure-silver] Re: floor vibration?

From: "Dennis Purdy" <dlp4777@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>


My enlarger timer has a plug marked "safe light" on the back.  Whatever
is plugged in there automatically goes off when you start timing
something.  If you put the fan on a plug and plugged it into the
safelight plug on the timer it would run all the time until you hit
print.. presto no fan no vibration for a little while.

Very nice solution...
But before doing this, check the label on both the fan and the timer, and make sure that the safelight outlet would not be overloaded. If the fan is very large, there may be a start-up surge. With an older mechanical timer (such as an old Gralab), as long as the wattage/amperage is not exceeded, this shouldn't be a problem. A more modern digital timer might use solid state relays, and the fan startup might be a problem.
