Electrostatic Discharge
Overview Preventive Measures
ESD--electrostatic discharge--is a primary source of: • Always look for an ESD warning label before doing
any procedure involving static-sensitive
• product downtime
• lost productivity
• costly repairs
While one 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.
Effective ESD control requires following these static-sensitive components. Always make certain
guidelines. that the clip remains attached to a properly
Personnel Awareness
Everyone within the organization needs to be aware
of ESD, because partial ESD control is no ESD
control at all. Please note:
• ESD is a primary source of
frustrating equipment failures and
intermittent malfunctions.
• ESD affects productivity and
profitability.
• ESD can be controlled.
components such as circuit boards. All
static-sensitive components are marked with bright
graphic labels, which frequently include
instructions. Follow all label instructions.
• If the work area is carpeted, spray the carpet with
an antistatic solution. In low-humidity
environments, spray carpets periodically with an
antistatic preparation, available at local stores.
• Wear a grounding strap when handling
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 moving static-sensitive components from one
area to another, insert and transport the
components in ESD-protective packaging.
Transparent antistatic bags are available from a
variety of manufacturers and will help shield
components from ESD damage.
General Precautions
• Do not store trash near static-sensitive equipment.
• Do not place plastic materials near electronic
components. Trash-can liners and styrofoam cups
generate static electricity, which can damage or
destroy electronic components.

EXHAUST HOSE and the EXHAUST DUCT.
IMPORTANT
• If the venting is not correct, fumes will corrode equipment and cause artifacts. Do not install the
processor or accessories if the venting is not correct.
• The building ventilation system must draw air to the outside of the building, so that no air is reused.
• The AIR FLOW is correct when the fumes are flowing out of the processor through the EXHAUST
HOSE. Before installing the processor, or at the next service call, do the following to check that the
AIR FLOW is correct.

Checking the Ventilation
Do the following procedure, using an AIR METER TL-2431, to check that the venting is correct.
[1] If the processor is installed, deenergize the processor.
[2] Disconnect the EXHAUST HOSE from the processor EXHAUST ADAPTER.
[3] Place the RUBBER HOSE on the CENTER CONNECTOR of the AIR METER.
[4] If a replenishment J TUBE, Part No. 592380, is available, do the following. If not, advance to Step 5.
(a) Cut off and discard the curved portion of the replenishment J TUBE.
(b) Install the tapered end of the replenishment J TUBE into the RUBBER HOSE.
(c) Advance to step 7.
[5] If a replenishment J TUBE is not available, align a HOSE SUPPORT, such as a straightened coat
hanger, next to the RUBBER HOSE. The ends of the HOSE SUPPORT and the RUBBER HOSE must
be together.
[6] Place TAPE around the HOSE SUPPORT and the RUBBER HOSE at 3 points. See the illustration.
IMPORTANT
The TAPE should not inhibit the AIR FLOW through the RUBBER HOSE.
[7] Insert the replenishment J TUBE or the RUBBER HOSE into the EXHAUST HOSE until the end is 30 cm
(12 in.) from the end of the EXHAUST HOSE.
IMPORTANT
The RUBBER HOSE or J TUBE must be in the center of the EXHAUST DUCT.
[8] Hold the AIR METER vertical, and record the average of several readings.

[10] Adjust one of the following to obtain the
required reading:
(a) the damper (or fan) in the building
ventilation system or
(b) the clearance between the EXHAUST
DUCT and the EXHAUST HOSE to
5 cm (2 inches); see the illustration.
[11] If the AIR FLOW reading is still not correct,
contact the sales representative and the
customer to correct the venting.
[12] When the AIR FLOW reading is the same as
the measurements in the table, connect all the
hoses.

IMPORTANT
• Inform the customer that all COVERS and PANELS must be installed while the processor is
energized.
• If the processor is installed through the darkroom wall, it is most important that the air pressure in the
darkroom is greater than the air pressure of the area surrounding the darkroom. For example, the air
in a 3 m3 (10 ft3) room should change 10 times per hour.
[14] Do the following to check the AIR FLOW at the FEED SHELF:
(a) If the processor is installed, deenergize the processor.
(b) Hold a piece of tissue paper in front of the FEED SHELF.
NOTE
The AIR FLOW should be toward the processor.
(c) If the tissue paper moves away from the processor, call Customer Service for Health Sciences
Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Rochester, New York, time at (716) 724-1789.

Preparing the Processor for Use
Checking the Tubing Clamps, Tanks, and Racks
[1] Tighten and check all CLAMPS. [3] Fill the 3 TANKS with water.
[4] Run the processor for a few minutes.
[5] Check for leakage.
Check all CLAMPS 2 - 4 weeks after
installing any new tubing. Tighten the
CLAMPS if necessary. Although a
CLAMP may be tight when tubing is
installed, temperature changes or
shrinkage of the plastic tubing will
cause the CLAMP to loosen.
[2] Check that the 3 WEIRS are installed and
fully seated:
red in the developer TANK
blue in the fixer TANK
beige in the wash TANK
WEIR (3)
[6] Drain the processor completely.
[7] Rinse the DEVELOPER, FIXER, and WASH
RACK ASSEMBLIES with warm water.
[8] Rotate the ROLLERS manually.
[9] Check that the ROLLERS rotate fully.
[10] Check that all the moving parts engage
correctly.

[2] Insert the DEVELOPER FILTER into the
FILTER HOUSING.
[3] Check that the O-RING is seated correctly, or
leakage may occur.
[4] Tighten the CAP and install the FILTER
HOUSING in the processor.
[5] Check that the tubing is not kinked.
• Mix the developer first, then the fixer.
• Wash the mixing equipment thoroughly
between solutions to avoid contamination of
the solutions.
• Rinse the mixing and filling equipment
before each use.
• Fill the FIXER TANK first.
[6] Install the SPLASH GUARD between the
DEVELOPER TANK and the FIXER TANK.

[8] Remove and rinse the SPLASH GUARD.
[9] Install the SPLASH GUARD over the FIXER

[10] To fill the processor DEVELOPER TANK:
(a) Fill the DEVELOPER TANK half full of
developer replenisher from the
replenishment tank.
(b) Add 190 mL (6.5 fl oz) of KODAK
X-OMAT Developer Starter.
(c) Fill the DEVELOPER TANK to the
higher FILL LINE on the red WEIR with
developer replenisher.
[11] Remove the SPLASH GUARD and rinse
thoroughly.
[12] Allow the developer to reach the operating
temperature before processing any film.
Checking the Replenishment Flow Rates
[1] Remove the TOP COVER.
[2] Lift the top DETECTOR ROLLER of the
DETECTOR ASSEMBLY.
NOTE
The REPLENISHMENT PUMP will
continue to operate for 3 seconds after
releasing the DETECTOR ROLLER.
RP
[3] Check that the replenisher solutions flow
freely through the TUBING along the drive
side of the processor.
[4] Press the METAL LATCH of the red QUICK
DISCONNECT of the developer to disconnect
the developer TUBING.
[5] Pull the TUBING slightly by rotating the
TUBING over the edge of the frame.
[6] Insert the TUBING into a GRADUATE.

Checking the Replenishment Flow Rates
Page 30
[7] Lift the top DETECTOR ROLLER of the DETECTOR ASSEMBLY for the correct time, for 28 or
34 seconds. See the table below.
[8] Check that the amount of developer in the GRADUATE is the same as in the table below.
[9] Adjust the REPLENISHMENT PUMP if necessary. See page 36 for the adjustment procedure.
[10] Repeat steps 7 - 9 if necessary.
[11] Connect the QUICK DISCONNECT.
[12] Repeat this procedure with the fixer TUBING to check the flow rate of the fixer.

NOTE
• KODAK
• Replenishment rates are based on one sheet of film.
• Film feeding orientation should be consistent for best results.
• Slight sensitometric changes will occur as subsequent films are processed through a freshly started
process. This is known as ‘‘seasoning’’ and is normal with any photographic process. Process control
aims may have to be adjusted slightly to compensate.
• For 30 sheets or less, flooded replenishment is recommended.
RP
X-OMAT Chemicals are recommended.
