and inner packaging. The transport modules are protected by internal
packing pieces: these must be discarded.

Pre Installation Instructions (cont.)
• Siting of the VELOPEX
When using the machine in daylight or a darkroom, avoid sources of intense light.
Do not mount the unit under a window, fluorescent light or flood lamp.
4
IMPORTANT NOTE: A well ventilated position is mandatory.
The ambient temperature must be below 80oF (27oC).
Prevent siting the machine above or near other electrical or mechanical equipment.
Surfaces susceptible to water or chemical damage should be avoided, such as
carpeted areas.
1. COUNTER
a. Use a stable and level counter that will support a weight of at least
100 lbs. (50 Kg.).
b. When the machine is filled with chemicals, make sure the stand does not
rock or shake. NEVER move the machine with chemicals in the tanks.
2. ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
a. 115Vac 60Hz, 10A, 1150W (USA)/230Vac 50Hz, 10A, 1150W (World Wide).

should be easily accessible for operation and maintenance.
WARNING: X-ray radiation can be harmful to patient, technician and dentist.
Inadequate lead shielding of the darkroom or film storage area will also cause
fogging from exposure of films to stray x-ray radiation. Consult your local
codes, Health Department or Dental Equipment Dealer for proper construction
of darkroom or placement of film processing equipment in the vicinity of x-ray
radiation sources.
