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 agroundingstrap when handling static-sensitive components. Always make 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 portablegrounding
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 avariety
of manufacturers and will help shield components from ESD damage.

Speed of the PROCESSOR and Developer Temperature
Extended Mode: Use this mode for mammography films that the manufacturer has specified are suitable for
extended cycle processing. The transport speed for this mode is 50 cm (191⁄2) in.) per minute or 3 minutes and
23 seconds ± 2 sec drop time (dry to dry) for a 24 cm (10 in.) sheet of film. The developer temperature is 35˚C ±
0.3˚C (95.0˚F ± 0.5˚F). The development time is approximately 50 seconds and is based on using
Film.
Standard Mode: The Standard Mode is suitable for all mammography films. The transport speed for this mode is
76 cm (30 in.) per minute or 2 minutes and 15 seconds ± 2 sec drop time (dry to dry) for a 24 cm (10 in.) sheet of
film. The developer temperature is 33.3˚C ± 0.3˚C (92.0˚F ± 0.5˚F). The development time is approximately 33
seconds and is based on using
Kodak Min-R

Section 3: Periodic Maintenance
General Information
Note
• This section includes additional procedures that are not in the Operator Manual, Publication No. 981799.
• To provide for optimum operation of the PROCESSOR, it is important to use the following procedures.
[1] Process 5 sheets of unprocessed film before you begin the periodic maintenance. Check for artifacts.
[2] Check for:
• cleanliness
• broken parts
• wear of parts
• leakage
• site specifications
[3] Install new parts for the broken parts and parts that have wear.
Warning
Dangerous Voltage
• Disconnect the main power before lubricating the parts.
• Do not allow anyoil or grease to touchthe CROSSOVERS and RACK ASSEMBLIES or to drip into the TANKS.
[4] If necessary, provide lubrication.
[5] Use the correct procedure to clean parts.
[6] Make the necessary adjustments.
[7] Process 5 sheets of unprocessed film in the PROCESSOR after you have performed any service. Check for

Correcting Difficulties
Section 4: Correcting Difficulties
Important
• Many film transport and sensitometric difficulties can be caused or aggravated by inadequate hardening of the
emulsion due to underreplenishment of the developer and fixer solution.
• Another cause of inadequate hardening of the emulsion may be deterioration of the developer replenisher
because of age or storage at too high a temperature. Do not mix more than a 2-week supply of developer
replenisher.
1. Transport Failure
2. Surface Artifacts
3. Abnormal Film Densities
4. Wet Films
5. Low Solution Levels
6. Overlapping of Films

••Film Feeding Error
Feed only single thicknesses of film. Feed the next film only after
the film feed signal sounds. If there is no film feed signal, refer
the difficulty to qualified personnel.
••• •Feed only compatible films.
••Check that all Racks and Crossovers are seated correctly.
••Check that the surfaces of all the Rollers are clean and smooth, especially in
the developer Turnaround Assembly.
••Check that the Dryer Air Tubes are in the correct positions.
••Remove any dirt from the Dryer Rollers and Air Tubes, especially the slots.
Use a bottle brush and rinse with water.
••••Check the settings for correct replenishment. Check the replenishment
system: Tubing kinks, Pump operation, Detector Switches, and
Replenishment Pump.
•Adjust the Dryer temperature control setting to the lowest possible
temperature that still allows good drying.
•Clean the Feed Shelf and Detector Rollers.
•••Clean any biological growth in the wash Tank with a mild solution of chlorine
bleach. Use 60 mL (2 fluidounces) of bleach per 3.8 L (1 gallon) of water.
Wipe the Tanks with a soft sponge.
••Check that the Weirs are seated correctly.
Check that the Tanks are full.
•••••Change any chemicals that were not mixed correctly, are exhausted, or are
contaminated.
Change the Developer Filter if necessary.
Check that replenishment flow rates are correctly set. If necessary, fill the
Replenishment Tanks.
Mix the developer replenishment in quantities not to exceed a
2-week supply.
Always use a Splash Guard and Rack Drip Tray when lifting the
fixer Rack to prevent contaminating the developer.
Mix chemicals as directed.

•••Check that all Rollers are in place and positioned and rotating correctly.
•••Check that all Roller Gears, Sprockets, and Idlers are engaged.
•••Replace any Rollers that have broken or worn Gudgeons.
•••Replace any Bearings that do not allow the Turnaround Rollers to rotate
correctly.
••Check the tension on the Rack Chain. Check that the Rollers do not hesitate
and that the Chain moves smoothly.
•With the Processor on, check for movement on the surface of the solutions.
Movement indicates recirculation. If you do not observe any movement,
check that the Tubing is not kinked, that the Recirculation Pump is operating,
and that the Developer Filter is clean and in position.
••If the incoming wash water is dirty, clean the Rack and Tank thoroughly.
Change the incoming water Filter. Make sure to use the correct water Filter.
•Check that the Poppets in the Replenishment Pump are clean and are not
distorted or worn. If the Poppets are preventing proper replenishment, have
qualified personnel clean or replace them.
•Check that the Dryer air exhaust is free from any obstruction and is installed
correctly according to specifications in the Installation Instructions.
••Check that theTurnaround Assemblies are adjustedcorrectly. Make surethat
the Turnaround Assemblies are square with the Racks.
••Check the incoming water temperature. Temperature must be between 4˚C
(40˚F) and 30˚C (85˚F).
•Check that the Orifices in the developer and fixer recirculation lines are the
correct size and are not plugged.
•Check that the correct Bulb and Safelight Filter are in the Safelight and at the
correct distance from the Feed Shelf and work surface.
••Check that the Top Cover and Panels are tight on the Processor.
Check that there are no leaks in the Lighttight Gasket.
•10 x 10 cm films - feed films diagonally if they fail to transport reliably.
•Check the timedelay. For alltransport speeds, the Buzzer shouldsound once
the trailing edge of the film has advanced 75 mm (3 in.) into the Processor.
••••Check that the solution levels in the Tanks are at the overflow Weirs.
••Adjust the Guide Shoes correctly.
NOTE: Most often in the developer Turnaround Assembly. Adjust the long
edges of the Guide Shoes in the exit Turnaround Assembly as close as
possible to the Rack Roller above them.
•Check for solution in the Replenishment Tanks. Fill if necessary.
NOTE: Mix developer replenisher in quantities not to exceed a 2-week
supply.
•Check that the correct Bulb is in the Safelight.

•With a thermometer of known accuracy, check that the temperature of the
developer is correct for the mode selected -- Standard or Extended. If
necessary, have qualified personnel make adjustments.
NOTE: Check the incoming water temperature. It must be a minimum of 4˚C
(7˚F) lower than the desired developer temperature.
•If the digital temperature display is blank and all noise ceases, including the
Main Drive Motor and the ventilation Fan:
Turn off the main power and the main power switch on the Processor.
Remove the drive Side Panel.
Open the Electrical Box Cover.
Check the Fuse. If necessary, install a new Fuse, making certain to
match the size and type of the existing one.
••Check that the film is compatible with the selected mode, Standard or
Extended.
