Installation Instructions: New A8 Cassette Interface BOARD
Part Number: SP9403701
Due to parts that have become obsolete, the A8 BOARD has been redesigned for use in
the following equipment:
Kodak X-Omat MULTILOADER 300
Kodak X-Omat MULTILOADER 300 PLUS
Kodak X-Omat MULTILOADER 7000
Kodak MINILOADER 2000
Kodak MINILOADER 2000P
* Mounting of the new A8 BOARD is identical to the old style.
* The A3 BOARD is integrated in the new A8 BOARD.
*The new A8 BOARD has firmware installed and can be configured for use with
Multiloaders 300/300PLUS, Multiloader 7000, Miniloaders 2000/2000P.
Important:
than V4.0 installed, it must be upgraded during the installation of the new A8 BOARD.
Mod 52: Part Number 9229220
Multiloader/Miniloader: Must have the following minimum version Operation Software.
XML7000 V1.21 Floppy PN: SP9409351 CD PN: -ML2000/P V2.41 Floppy PN: H9312416 CD PN: 1F2436
XML300Plus V5.22 Floppy PN: H9212526 CD PN: --
XML300 V4.10 Floppy PN: H9214106 CD PN: --
Software: Other sources to obtain and download Multiloader/Miniloader software.

Install the new A8 BOARD as follows:
If a MULTILOADER 300 has operation and bootstrap software that is less
1. Note the current Operation Software installed in the Multiloader/Miniloader.
2. De-energize the equipment.
3. Remove: COVERS AND PANELS
4. Disconnect from existing A8 BOARD: CABLES AND CONNECTORS
5. Remove and discard old A3 + A8 BOARDS.
6. Install new A8 BOARD using existing hardware.
7. Connect to new A8 BOARD: CABLES AND CONNECTORS

8. Set the S3 DIP SWITCHES on the new A8 BOARD as follows:
Multiloader
Type
XML7000 ON ON ON N.A.
ML2000/2000P OFF ON ON N.A.
XML300 ON OFF ON N.A.
XML300 Plus OFF OFF ON N.A.
9. Set DIP SWITCH S2-3 – OFF (Not Used)
10. For XML7000/(ML2000P SN >6752): Set Jumpers for B20/CPUVO
(B20 with no mirror)
11. For B20 with Mirror, XML300/300Plus/ML2000/(ML2000P SN 6752
and below): Set Jumpers
A8X2 to 1-2
A8X3 to 1-2
A8X50-2 to A8X52-2
12. ML2000P B9/CPI sensor adjustment: test points P1, P21 GNDPE
13. Energize: MULTILOADER/MINILOADER
14. Using LAPTOP COMPUTER download Operating Software noted on
15. Check MULTILOADER/MINILOADER for correct operation.
S3-1 S3-2 S3-3 S3-4
Set DIP SWITCH S2-4—OFF (Not Used)
Set DIP SWITCH S2-1: Same setting as DIP SWITCH 1 of old A8 BOARD
Set DIP SWITCH S2-2: Same setting of DIP SWITCH 2 of old A8 BOARD
A8X2 to 2-3
A8X3 to 2-3
A8X50 (Not Used)
A8X52 (Not Used)
With no film in processor interface adjust R100 to <500mV.
With fresh film blocking B9 sensor voltage should be >3.5VDC. If value
cannot be reached, remove film from B9 sensor and readjust R100 closer to
500mV. Install: COVERS and PANELS
Step 1, Page 1 to the new A8 BOARD. If software version is being
upgraded download new version of Operation Software.
