ESD—electrostatic discharge—is a primary source of:
·product downtime
·lost productivity
·costly repairs.
While we cannot even feel a static charge of less than 3,500 volts, as few as 30 volts can
damage or destroy essential components in the electronic equipment upon which you rely. As
technology continues to advance, these advanced components will be even more vulnerable
to ESD destruction. The conclusion is clear. To take c harge of prod uctivity and profitability,
you must take care of ESD, now. Effective ES D control require s the following things.
AWARENESS
Everyone in your organ isation needs to be aware of ESD, because partial ESD control is no
ESD control at all. E veryone needs to remember that:
·ESD is a primary source of frustrating equipment failure s and intermittent m alfunctions.
·ESD affects productivity and profitability.
·ESD can be contro lled.
ACTION
To take charge of ESD, you must take action. An d that means everyone from senior
management to the evening security crew.
·If you repair and maintain electronic equipment, it means always wearing grou nding
straps and working at ESD-protected sites.
·If you ever work around electronic equipment, it means keeping static generators like
plastic trash bags away from sensitive comp onents.
·For everyone, taking cha rge of ESD m eans making th e simple ESD co ntrols a way of life.
(See the following sections for special tips).
·EFFECTIVE ESD CONTROL IS EVERYONE’S RESPONSIBILITY.
EVERY DAY
·Put trash in its place. And that place is away from static-sensitive equipment. Plastic
materials, like trashcan liners and plastic foam cups, gen erate the static electricity that
damages or destroy s electronic components.
·Look for the label. Static-sensitive components are marked with bright graphic labels.
Look for these labels. Follow label directions.
·Spray the carpet. E SD that is generated when you walk ov er carpet is a major culprit in
component destruction. In some cases, espec ially in low-humidity environments, you may
need to periodically spray carpets with an anti-s tatic prepa ration, available at local stores.

SM 3053-3ESD
DURING MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
·Wear a grounding strap when you deal with static-sens itive components. Always make
certain that the clip is attached to a properly grounded , unpainted sur face.
·Use a portable grounding mat if you cannot repair components at an ESD-protected
workstation. (Kodak’s Customer Equipment Services Division can assist you in setting up
ESD-protected workstations .)
·Use protective pack aging when you transport components f rom one ar ea to another.
Transparent anti static ba gs, available from a variety of manufactures, shield your
just-repaired components from further damage.
SAFETY WARNINGS
·DISCONNECT THE POWER WHEN TAKING OUT OR INSTALLING THE POWER
SUPPLY. IT IS POSSIBLE TO TOUCH DANGEROUS VOLTAGE .
·IF YOU TAKE OUT SAFETY COVERS OR WIRE TIES TO HAVE EASIER ACCESS TO
PARTS, INSTALL THEM BEFORE YOU MOUNT THE SIDE PANELS WHEN THE
SERVICE CALL OR THE PM IS FINISHED.
·BE CAREFUL WHEN WORKING ON CIRCUIT BOARD A4.. THERE ARE 220 VAC ON
THIS BOARD. AN ELECTRIC SHOCK MAY RESULT.
·After a SERVICE CALL or a PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE check the electrical safety
of the MULTILOADER. Follow your local and national regulations. Ensure that all
PANELS are mounted properly.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ML700 PLUS AND ML700.
DOUBLE FILM SENSOR
A DOUBLE FILM SENSOR similar to the ML300 is used. It measures the thickness and not
the transparency of the film. This DOUBLE FILM SENS OR cannot be retrofitted into the
ML700.

CONVEYER END STOP
A CONVEYER END STOP is installed. This END STOP eases the correct positioning of the
CONVEYER in case that the complete assembly had been removed from the ML700 PLUS.
The END STOP is retrofittable into the ML700. It is part of Modification 28.

CASSETTE SUCKER BAR GUIDE ROLLER and CASSETTE SUCKER BAR
The position of the CASSETTE SUCKER BAR GUIDE ROLLER can be easily adjusted with
an ADJUSTMENT SCREW.
The new CASSETTE SU CKER BAR can be pivoted to match au tomatically the cur vature of
the CASSETTE. This improves the picking up of the film from the CASSETTE. See the
drawing on the nex t page.
Both alterations are available as Modification 28 for the ML700.

HUMIDIFIER
To increase the efficiency of the HUMIDIFIER the air flow is changed. With the new design,
air is sucked out of the ML700, routed through the HUMIDIFIER and blown back into the
ML700. It is now possible to raise the humidity up t o 40%. The factory setting is 40%.
This alteration is available as Modification 27 for the ML700.

POWER SUPPLY
An improved POWER S UPPLY is ins talled. This Powe r Supply does not become a
modification for the ML700. If the POWER SUPPLY of the ML700 fails order the new one
from the ML700 PLUS as a spare part.
TEMPLATES
The LCD DISPLAY of the ML700 PLUS differs in size from the PLASMA DISPLAY of the
ML700. Therefore the old templates (used for diagnostics and sensor test) cannot be used for
the ML700 PLUS.

COMPRESSOR
The old COMPRESSOR is replaced with a new one. The new one has an increased life time
and is muchquieter. With the new COMPRESSOR it takes approximately 40 seconds to fill up
the AIR BOTTLE. The new COMPRESSOR can be installed on both the ML700 and ML700

TUNNEL
TUNNEL SENSOR FRONT and TUNNEL SENSOR REAR are replaced with a new type. The
new SENSORS detect the reflection from the film surface.
2 GUIDES, 1 left and 1 right are added to guide the FILM S through the TUNNEL CONVEYER
better into the PROCESSOR.
PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD PCB A4 PLUS
The new PCB A 4 PLUS c an be used in ML700 and in ML700 Plus. If used in a ML70 0 PLUS
Jumper E1 must be in. If used in a ML700 Jumper E1 must be out.
In the ML700 PLUS a different FRONT DOOR SOLENOID is used. This SOLENOID has a
cycle time of 15%. The FRONT DOOR SOLENOID of the ML700 has a cycle time of 100%.
Due to the 15% cycle time the new SOLENOID draws more current than the old one. This
overloads the drivers on PCB A4. For this reason an altered PCB A4 is used for the ML700
PLUS. DO NOT USE PCB A4 FROM THE ML700 IN A ML700 PLUS. PCB A4 W ILL FAIL!

Caution
PCB A9 Plus must not be used in a ML700
Due to the replaced SENSORS FOC / TSF and TSR a new PCB A9 Plus is used. The
SENSOR REPLACEMENT and the change of PCB A9 allow the use of INFRARED FILMS.
SOFTWARE
Note
THIS SOFTWARE CANNOT BE USED FOR THE ML700.
A new software, VERSION 5.0, is used for the ML700 PLU S.
1.The software is adapted to the LCD DISPLAY.
2.After pressing BUTTON 4 (open FRONT DOOR) the DOOR SOLENOID is energised
