Section 1: Electrostatic Discharge

Overview

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a primary source of

• product downtime

• lost productivity

• costly repairs

While you cannot feel a static charge of less than 3,500 volts, as few as 30 volts can damage or destroy
essential components in electronic equipment.

Preventive Measures

• Always look for an ESD warning label before doing any procedure involving static-sensitive
components such as CIRCUIT BOARDS. All static-sensitive components are marked with bright
graphic labels, which frequently include instructions. Follow all label instructions.

• Wear a grounding strap whenhandling static-sensitive components. Alwaysmake certain that the
clip remains attached to a properly grounded, unpainted, clean surface.

• Repair static-sensitive components at an ESD-protected work station or use a portable grounding
mat. For help in setting up an ESD-protected work station, contact your Kodak representative

• When you move static-sensitive components from one area to another, insert and transport the
components in ESD-protective packaging.

Description

The

Kodak X-Omatic

CAMERA), records patient identification data onto x-ray film in lighttight cassettes.
The camera provides:

• Dual lenses for use with C-1 and C-1N windows for MODELS 4 and 4L

• Excellent image quality with high-quality lenses

• Operation in normal room illumination

• The exact time anddate of the exposurerecorded on the film witha variety of customizeddate and time formats
available

• The serial number of the camera is recorded on the film for all models and lens positions except the C-1N lens
position in the MODEL 4L.

• Choice of both anterior-posterior and posterior-anterior imaging

• MODEL 4 records patient data on the upper corner of the film

• MODELS 4L and 4SL record patient data on the lower corner of the film

When you insert a CASSETTE correctly into the SLOT above the BASE, and a patient ID CARD is in either the P­A or A-P SLOT, the camera automatically:

[1] Actuates a mechanical ARM to open a WINDOW in the CASSETTE.
[2] Illuminates the LAMP to record the identification data, time, and date on the film.
[3] Closes the WINDOW in the CASSETTE.

This entire operation takes approximately 2 seconds.

Specifications

Space Requirements

• The physical characteristics of the camera are:

Height: 32.5 cm (12.80 in.)
Width: 32.4 cm (12.76 in.)
Depth: 43.5 cm (17.13 in.)
Weight: 12 kg (26.5 lb)

• Install the camera on a flat surface, with a minimum overhead clearance of approximately 75 cm (30 in.).

• To be able to insert the largest CASSETTES, provide these clearances:
1 m (3 ft) between the front edge of the camera and the nearest wall
1 m (3 ft) between the right edge of the camera and the nearest wall

Environmental Requirements

The camera operates in the ambient room conditions normally encountered in an x-ray department:

15 to 30˚C (59 to 86˚F)
15 to 76% relative humidity

Power Requirements

[1] For theMODELS4,4L,and4SL ID CAMERAS: These cameraswill operate correctly at the followingvoltages

and tolerances. The cameras are internally switchable to obtain each of the following voltage ranges.

[2] Do not connect the camera to a power source that serves other equipment.
[3] Small variations in the voltage can cause variations in the density of the film. If necessary, install a voltage

regulator for a constant AC voltage to the camera.

[4] Use a reliable earth ground.
[5] Use the correct FUSE for your current.
