Electrical Requirements
Basic Requirements
• 30 A, single-phase or three-phase, 2- or 3-wire service, earth ground required.
• Main Power Disconnect (wall-mounted, not furnished).
The main power disconnect switch must consist of a minimum 2-pole thermo-magnetic circuit breaker with solid
neutral and common trip, or a fused disconnect switch. This switch must be:
• located on a wall adjacent to the processor in the lighted area
• easily accessible from the processor site
• visible from the processor site.
IMPORTANT
In addition, all electrical services,
electrical code.

SECTION 4
Water and Drain Requirements
Water Supply
NOTE
If the upper limit of the water supply temperature to the processor is exceeded, the developer
temperature may not be controlled correctly. A water chiller may be required.
a.Processor Supply
(1) Temperature: 4° to 32°C (40° to 90°F)
(2) Pressure: 172.35 to 448.11 kPa (25 to 65 psi) Install regulator if required.
(3) Volume: Controlled within the processor to 5.7 L/min. (1.5 gal/min.)
(4) Filtration: A 50-micron filter is required.
b.Water service must comply with local codes.
c.Tempered water service is suggested for processor cleaning and for mixing chemicals manually.
d.A molded adapter and washer are provided to adapt the processor garden hose fitting to the 1/2 in. N.P.T.
(male).
Drain
• Capacity: 15 L/min. (4 gal/min.)
• Connection: Open drain; avoid solid connection
Do not use brass or copper for the drain lines. Drain service must comply with local codes.
NOTE
1-6246628
Environmental Requirements
Room Temperature-Ambient
• Temperature: 15° to 30°C (59° to 86°F)
• Humidity: 15% to 76%
If the upper limit of the room ambient temperature is exceeded, the developer temperature may
not be controlled correctly. A water chiller may be required.
Air and Heat
a.Air Exhaust (full load)
(1) Volume: 1.9 m3/min. (65 ft3/min.)
(2) Temperature: 66°C (150°F) maximum
(3) Moisture>300 gr/min. or 121 gr/kg (55 gr/lb) of air
b.Heat load to room: 4220 kJ/hr (4000 Btu/hr)
SECTION 5
NOTE
To protect the processor and equipment directly interfaced with the processor, the
dryer must be vented according to the following specifications. Failure to properly
vent the dryer exhaust can cause corrosion within the processor and interfaced
equipment. In addition, the probability of processor-related film artifacts is
increased.
[1]The processor exhaust duct must be connected to the building exhaust ducting system. Disposal of
effluent air must comply with prevailing environmental codes.
[2]Use Table 4 to determine the proper amount of negative air within the duct at the end to be connected to
the processor. To prevent venturi effect at the duct opening, all measurements should be made at a
point 30.5 cm (12 in.) from the open end of the duct to be attached to the processor.
Compare the average reading with the table below.
