Technical Specifications

Safety Instructions

NOTE: Always follow local regulations for handling and disposing chemicals.

To ensure the safe operation of this processor, installation and use should always
conform to the instructions contained in this manual.

Prior to handling, the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and product labels, for
the processor chemicals should be read and understood. MSDS for
Carestream Health products can be downloaded from the internet at
www.carestream.com/msds.html. Safe handling measures outlined on the MSDS
for each product should be followed. Impervious gloves and protective clothing
are recommended to prevent direct skin contact. Safety glasses with side
shields, goggles, or a face shield are recommended to prevent accidental eye
contact from a splash. Proper industrial hygiene practices should always be fol-
lowed to prevent accidental ingestion. Promptly wash after handling these chem-
icals. Do not eat, drink, or smoke in areas where chemicals are used or stored. In
addition, chemical-holding tanks should be equipped with tightly fitted lids to min-
imize chemical evaporation. Drains should be operating properly to prevent
gases and vapors from backing up into the processing area. Spills and leaks
should be cleaned up promptly.

Good general ventilation is recommended in x-ray processing areas and is typi-

cally defined as eight to ten room changes of air per hour. Supplementary ventila-
tion may be needed in special situations such as mixing operations, in poorly
ventilated spaces, or in the event of evaporation from large surface areas.

Environmental regulations regarding the storage and disposal of waste chemi-

cals should be obtained from the local water authorities and complied with.

Before opening the processor, switch off the unit and unplug it from the
electrical socket. Service and repairs must be performed by trained ser-
vice technicians only. Use only manufacturers replacement parts.

AA5529_en 5
Installation

Installation

1. Requirements for installation

a. Filtered fresh water connection: (See page 19, Water Filter) Stop cock with
3/4 in. outer-thread diameter (washing machine connection), Water pressure
2–6 bar (29–85 psi).
b. Drainage connection: Plastic tube - inner diameter 50 mm (2 in.) or larger. A
ventilated syphon that serves as odour preventor should be included in the
planning. The drainage tubes should be installed with a fall of minimum 5 %.
Local Water Authorities regulations should be complied with.
c. Electrical connection: Fused wall socket with earth connection according to
electrical data (see Technical Specifications, page 4). It is also required to
install an Earth-Leakage Switch (with 25 A / 30 mA nominal error current).

Electrical connections should be carried out according to reg-

ulations by an electrician.

2. Setup of processor
Unpack the Processor. Remove cover and transport securing brackets on the sides
of the roller racks. Remove roller racks - start with the dryer rack.
In 220-240 V (ac) version, the processor is delivered as a tabletop processor with
a two part floorplate. If the machine is upgraded with the optional stand or cabinet,
the small PVC-part has to be removed.
In 110-120 V (ac) version, the processor is delivered as a tabletop processor with
a three part floorplate. If the machine is upgraded with the optional stand or cabinet,
both small PVC-parts have to be removed and main plate must be reconnected.
Table-top installation
For tabletop installation, screw on the adjustable feet.

Attention!
Machine should not be installed on table-top without adjusta-
ble feet, as this would block the ventilation openings under the
machine and cause overheating.

Installing on processor stand or base cabinet

For stand or cabinet installation, mount the processor directly on the stand or cab-
inet. Mount processor according to manual included with stand or cabinet (the ad-
justable feet inside the accessory bag are not required).
Level the processor:
Place spirit level across the sidewalls of processor and adjust the levelling feet ac-
cordingly. Replace the racks into the processor and close the latches.

Installation

3. Connecting the processor

min. 70 cm
Drainage and
collecting
containers

Water connection: Connect the water hose from the back of the processor to the
fresh water supply.
All other hoses (see diagram Page 8): Connect the enclosed hoses according to
colour system onto the front of the machine. Put hose clip (enclosed in accessory
bag) over hose end, before attaching to connection. Warm up hose end (with hot
water) and push onto the respective connection. Push the clip over hose and con-
nection.
Cut hoses to required length. Then integrate the stop cocks into the three drainage
hoses in such a position, that they are easy to reach.
Connect the suction pipes to the hose ends for the replenishment tanks using hose
clips. Put suction pipes through cover opening into respective replenishment tanks
and snap them in.
Place the developer and fixer overflow and drainage hoses into their respective col-
lecting containers.
The overflow and the drainage of the water can either be placed into the drainage
syphon or into respective collection containers.

Installation

Hose connections

Pay attention to the correct colour connections: Replenishment

Developer: red; fixer: blue; water: clear
Overflow

Outlet

Danger of Overflow!
Use the included cable binders (accessory bag) to secure the
hoses. Fix all hose ends which guide into syphon or collecting
container, so that they do not drop into the liquid.

Very important:
The hose piping should be straight (without the hoses going
up and down) with a constant fall. The hoses should be as
short as possible and without bends and kinks. This is very
important for the water overflow hose. Inadequate piping work
will cause the machine to overflow!

Inform yourself of the local authority regulations regarding

drainage. In addition, the x-ray processing product’s MSDS
will provide guidance on disposal of used chemicals. These
regulations may differ from information in this manual, but
they should be complied with.

If the machine is installed table-top, ensure that the table is

stable and does not wobble.

Initial Operation

Initial Operation

1. Test run

Important!
Processor should not be run dry!

a. Close the three drainage stop cocks and fill the tanks and replenishment con-
tainers with water. Open water inflow tap. Connect electrical socket and
switch the machine on. Water now flows into water tank. The circulation pump
activates, however the hosing of the machine must be ventilated.
b. Ventilation of the replenishment pump:
Set temperature dial to position “Manual pumping”. Keep dial to this position
until no more air bubbles rise in the tanks.
c. Ventilation of the circulation pump:
If air is in the circulation pump, a loud running noise can be heard. Switch the
machine off again. Open the stop cocks of the developer and fixer for five sec-
onds and switch machine on again. Repeat this procedure until no more air
bubbles are visible in the developer and fixer baths and until the circulation
pump runs quietly.
d. Check all hose connections for leakage. Switch machine off and drain water
out.

2. Install racks

Important!
Be careful to install racks properly and in correct position.

a. Install racks, starting with developer (red), then fixer (blue), then dryer (beige).
b. Make sure they are seated properly, so film transports correctly.

c. Latch racks securely.

Important notice:
Ensure that the racks are firmly installed and keep the secur-
ing latches on the drive shafts closed.
Don’t operate processor with empty replenishment tanks.
Don’t use the included drip catcher plastic forms as bath cov-
ers placed on top of the racks.

3. Fill processor with chemicals

Prepare chemicals inside the replenishment containers according to manufacturers
instructions. Refer to the chemicals MSDS for proper handling guidelines.
Note: Carestream Health chemicals are recommended for use with
CARESTREAM films.
Fill up processor manually
By using a suitable container, pour chemicals into the respective tanks. First the fix-
er and then the developer. Caution: when filling, be sure that chemicals do not
splash from one bath into another. When fixer solution is mixed with developer so-
lution, the developer chemical is destroyed.

AA5529_en 9
Initial Operation

Snap each suction pipe into the respective cover of it’s replenishment container and
close it carefully. Place containers under processor.
Using replenishment pump
Filling of processor can also be done by use of the replenishment pump (this takes
much more time). Snap each suction pipe into the respective cover of it’s replenish-
ment container and close it carefully. Place containers under processor. Now set
temperature dial to “Manual pumping”. Keep dial in this position until tanks are filled.
After 20 minutes this function stops automatically - to restart a cycle, turn dial to an-
other position and return to “Manual pumping”. Limitation: The function may fill up
tanks of developer and fixer to different levels. This may be due to different causes.
If this happens, then use a suitable container to fill up the tanks completely.

6. Run cleaning films through processor.

Working procedure
7. Processing films:
Open light protection cover. Important: Put film first on left side of infeed tray
and then feed in. During processing films please watch the display “Infeeding
film”. If this is lit, wait until it goes off again and an audible signal can be
heard, before inserting the next film.

Shutdown
8. Switch processor off.
9. Close water tap.
10. Open water-drainage stop cock and drain water out of the machine.

Stand-by mode
When no film is being processed, the machine switches to Stand-by. The chemicals
remain at a constant temperature. The film transport and water inflow activate at in-
tervals to avoid crystallization of the chemicals on the transport rollers. Entry of the
next film is possible at any time.

Operation

Switching the machine on

The processor is switched on at the main switch on the front side. After switching
on, the water tank will be filled up and a replenishment cycle will be carried out. The
developer bath will be heated up. Until the temperature is reached the LED-display
“Bath temperature” will be flashing. When the processor is ready and the bath tem-
perature reached, a long signal tone can be heard.

Bath temperature
The processor heats up the chemicals automatically to the dial-set temperature.
When this temperature is reached for the first time after switching on the machine,
a long signal tone can be heard. This is also the case when the temperature is
changed by the dial switch.
If the difference between actual and dial-set temperature is more than 1 °C, the
bath temperature LED will flash. If a film has been fed in and the temperature is not
reached, a warning sound will be heard.

Display “Infeeding film”

If films are fed into the processor without clearance one after an other, then this may
cause a film jam. The light “Infeeding film” is on during infeeding a film. After the film
has been fed in completely the light goes off. Additionally an audible signal indi-
cates that the next film can be fed in.

Manual pumping
The function “Manual pumping” activates the replenishment pump and pumps
chemicals into the tanks in addition to automatic replenishment. Turn the dial to the
position “Manual pumping” and chemicals will be pumped into the tanks. This func-
tion is only available during stand-by (no film in process). If the dial is left in this po-
sition, the pumping function is stopped automatically after 20 minutes. To restart a
cycle turn, dial to a temperature and return to “Manual pumping”.
Please note: Films cannot be processed when dial is set to “Manual pumping”. Also
bath temperature is set automatically to 28 °C during “Manual pumping”. After end-
ing the manual pumping the temperature must be set again by turning the dial. It
takes some time until the temperature is reached (look at the bath temperature dis-
play).
Remark: Both chemical pumps - fixer and developer - are driven parallel by only
one motor and therefore they run simultaneously.

Anticrystalisation function
During the stand-by mode, the film transport, the dryer blower, the dryer heating
and the water inflow are activated every 20 minutes for a period of 20 seconds. This
prevents the build-up of crystals on the rollers.

Time replenishment (Anti oxidation function, Flood replenishment)

Also during the stand-by, the developer chemicals are subject to change,
which causes their deterioration. By means of the time replenishment, a replenish-
ment cycle is activated after 60 minutes without replenishment. The pump runs for
15 seconds. With this function, the quality of the developer chemicals are main-
tained even when standing idle for long periods.

AA5529_en 13
Operation

Automatic replenishment
The chemicals are replenished automatically based on the amount of film pro-
cessed. This is done by pumping chemicals from the replenishment containers. The
film-detection switch calculates the processed film surface area at the film-infeed
and after 0,25 m,2 a replenishment cycle of 40 seconds duration is automatically
activated. The replenishment quantity per cycle (at pump setting 100 %) amounts
to 150 ml. The chart below shows the replenishment rate in ml per m2 film surface
in reliance on film width and setting of the pump.

Replenishment Rate

18 cm 1150 ml/m2 875 ml/m2

*Setting for 50 Hz (settings at 60 Hz are in brackets)

**Standard setting

Rollfilms and paper films

Rollfilms can be transported into the machine when a leader film (10x10 cm) is at-
tached, that has been prepared with a chemical resistant adhesive tape.

Rollfilms without leader films should be folded on the corners as per diagram dis-
played on the right.

14 AA5529_en
Daily Care

Daily Care

Before use
• Remove dirt and dust from film-infeed with soft cloth.
• Run 2–3 cleaner films through processor to remove all accumulated dirt and
dust from the rollers.
• Check the liquid level in the replenishment containers and if necessary refill.
• Leave light protection cover open when no film is in the processor. This avoids
condensation on feed tray.

After use...
• When work has been completed at the end of the day, drain water out of the
machine. This avoids the growth of algae in the water.

Attention: Do not let any liquid drop inside the processor or

run over the control. Liquids may cause damage to the proces-
sor electronics.

Weekly Care
The developer chemicals cause residue buildup in the machine. This residue has a
negative effect on the developing process of the film material. For this reason the
processor should be regularly cleaned. Proceed as follows:
1. Switch machine off and remove cover.
2. Loosen the securing latches (red, blue and beige) of the drive shafts of each
roller rack at the right side.
3. Wear protective equipment, outlined in the processing chemical’s MSDS.First
of all remove the large dryer-rack (beige). The racks are easier to remove and
insert when they are slightly tilted. Use the grey drip catcher forms to ensure
that no chemicals splash when being carried. Then remove the fixer (blue)
and developer (red) racks in sequence.
4. Rinse all racks thoroughly under warm running water and then leave to drain
off. It is advisable to use a soft sponge (do not use scouring-pad, as this
would scratch the rollers) and remove the residue from the rollers.
5. Replace the racks: Red = Developer, Blue = Fixer. Beige = Washing/Drying.
Ensure that the racks are firmly installed and do not forget to close the secur-
ing latches on the drive shafts.
6. Replace machine cover and ensure it is securely closed.
7. Clean processor outer shell with damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or
solvents.

Please note: When removing the Rinsing / Drying roller-rack,

ensure that no water gets into the film dryer air channel.

Use the included grey plastic forms as a drip catcher, when

moving a roller rack out of the processor.
But: Don’t use these plastic forms in the machine as bath cov-
ers placed on top of the racks.

AA5529_en 15
Thorough Cleaning

Thorough Cleaning
Every three months (maybe earlier) a thorough cleaning is necessary, depending
on the quantity of films processed. Tank cleaners are available for developer and
water baths. The fixer bath is cleaned with water. When preparing chemical tank
cleaners, follow manufacturers instructions explicitly and refer to the MSDS for safe
handling guidelines. Discharge, treatment disposal of used chemicals may be sub-
ject to national, state or local laws or guidelines.

How to proceed:
1. Switch the machine off and empty all tanks by opening the stop cocks.
2. Remove machine cover. When all tanks are emptied, close stop cocks again.
Now fill the fixer-tank with water. Prepare cleaner solutions for developer and
water baths and fill into respective tanks.
3. Remove suction pipes from the replenishment containers and place them in a
water filled bucket. Attention: Do not add chemical cleaners here!
4. Close machine cover and switch machine on.
5. Start film transportation and keep running for 10–20 minutes. Place a film in
the infeed so that it activates the film switch but will not be pulled into the pro-
cessor. During the operation with water, the installed roller racks will be
cleaned.
6. Important: After completion of tank cleaning, the tank should be rinsed thor-
oughly with clean water. To do this, fill the machine with fresh water twice and
each time, let the machine run for a 10-minute period. Empty the tanks and
re-close the stop cocks.
7. Take out the roller-racks and rinse them thoroughly with running water.
Remove remaining dirt from the rollers by using a sponge and clean thor-
oughly. Doing this, the rollers can be turned by turning the drive shaft.
Remove the sheet metal covers from the dryer rack and clean the rack with
mild soap. Reinstall the roller-racks in the machine.
8. Refill the tanks with respective chemicals. Replace the suction pipes into the
replenishment containers. In certain circumstances the circulation system
must be ventilated: see Page 9, item 1c.
9. For quality check, process test films.

Extended shutdown
In the event that your processor will not be in use for longer than two weeks, all the
chemicals have to be emptied out of the tanks. If you don't want to do a complete
tank cleaning at this time, then fill the tanks with water after emptying.
