Safety Instructions
NOTE: Always follow local regulations for handling and disposing chemicals.
T o ensure the safe operation of this processor, installation and use should always
conform to the instructions contained in this manual .
Prior to handling, the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS’s) and product labels,
for the processor chemicals should be read and understood. MSDS’s for Kodak
products can be downloaded from the internet at www.kodak.com/go/msds. Safe
handling measures outlined on the MSDS’s for each product should be followed.
Impervious g loves and protective cl othing are recommended to p revent direct
skin contact. Safety glasses with side shields, goggles, or a face shield are recommended to prevent accidental eye contact from a splash. Proper industrial
hygiene practices should always be followed to prevent accidental ingestion.
Promptly wash after handling these chemicals. Do not eat, drink, or smoke in
areas where chemicals are used or stored. In addition , chemical-holdi ng tanks
should be equipped with tightly fitted lids to minimize chemical evaporation.
Drains should be operating properly to prevent gases and vapors from backing
up into the processing area. Spills and leaks should be cleaned up promptly.
Good gener al ven tilat ion is r ecomme nded in x-ray proces sing areas an d is t ypically defined as ten room changes of air per hour. Supplementary ventilation may
be needed in special situations such as mixing operations, in poorly ventilated
spaces, or in the event of evaporation from large surface areas.
Environmental regulations regarding the storage and disposal of waste chemicals should be obtained from the local water authorities and complied with.
Before opening the processor switch off the unit and unplug it from the
electrical socket. Service and repairs must be performed by trained
service technicians only. Use only manufacturers replacement parts.

Installation
Installation
1. Requirements for installation
a. Filtered fresh water connection: Install a water filter between water tap and
water connection of processor. Don’t assemble the water filter directly to the
solenoid valve of processor. Stop cock with 3/4 in. outer-thread diameter
(washing machine connection), Water pressure 20 - 85 psi.
b. Drainage connection: Plastic tube - inner diameter 50 mm (2 in.) or larger. A
ventilated syphon which serves as odour preventor should be included in the
planning. The drainage tubes should be installed with a fall of minimum 5%.
Local Water Authorities regulations should be complied with.
c. Electrical connection: Fused wall socket with earth connection according to
electrical data (see Technical Specifications, page 3). It is also required to
install an Earth-Leakage Switch (with 25 A / 30 mA nominal error current).
Electrical connec tions should be carried out ac cordi ng to regulations by an electrician.
2. Set up of processor
Unpack the process or. Re move cov er and tra nsport se curing br ackets on the sid es
of the roller racks. Remove roller racks - start with the dryer rack.
The processor is delivered as a tabletop processor with a three part floorplate. If the
machine is upgra ded w ith th e opt ion al sta nd or cabi ne t, both small PVC- par ts ha ve
to be removed and main plate must be reconnected.
Table-top installation
For tabletop installation, screw on the adjustable feet.
Attention!
Machine shou l d n ot be i ns tal led on ta b le- to p w ith ou t a dj ust able feet, as this would block the ventilation openings under the
machine and cause overheating.
Installing on processor stand or base cabinet
For stand or cabinet installation, mount the processor directly on the stand or cabinet. Mount processor according to manual included with stand or cabinet (the adjustable feet inside the accessory bag are not required).
Level the pro cessor:
Place spirit level acros s the sidew a lls of pro ce ss or and adjust the levelling feet accordingly. Replace the racks into the processor and close the latches.

Installation
3. Connecting the processor
Drainage and
collecting
containers
Water connection: Connect the water hose from the back of the processor to the
filtered fresh water supply.
All other hoses (see diagram Page 7): Connect the enclosed hoses according to
colour system onto the front of the machine. Put hose clip (enclosed in accessory
bag) over hose end, before attaching to connection. Warm up hose end (with hot
water) and pu s h on to th e res pec ti v e con ne ct ion . Pus h the cl i p over ho se and co nnection.
Cut hoses to required leng th. Then integr ate the stop co cks int o the thre e drai nage
hoses in such a position, that they are easy to reach.
Connect the suct ion pi pes to th e hose ends for th e r eplen ishm ent tan ks us ing h ose
clips. Put suction pipes through cover opening into respective replenishment tanks
and snap them in.
Place the developer and fixer overflow and drainage hoses into their respective collecting containers.
The overflow and the drainage of the water can either be placed into the drainage
syphon or into respective collection containers.
