Setting Up Initial Operating Parameters
Below are a few questions regarding your custom needs of the Kodak X-Omat Processor. These questions are
designed to help you determine your initial setup operating parameters. Over a period of time, you may wish to
revise these operating conditions; the PROCESSOR has extensive built-in capabilities that allow easy
adaptations to your changing needs. For now however, record your current operating needs to determine the
best initial setup of parameters to meet your daily operating requirements.
[1]
Approximately how many sheets of film will the PROCESSOR be processing daily?
This data helps determine either an Automatic or Flooded Replenishment Mode initial setting. Contact your
Kodak representative for assistance in selecting the Replenishment Mode.
[2]
Will the PROCESSOR be operating at the K/RA cycle?
If the PROCESSOR will be operating at the K/RA cycle, RA chemicals are required for the set up of the
replenishment tanks.
[3]
Will the PROCESSOR be connected to another piece of equipment for either input or output, or will it be
a stand-alone unit?
This factor determines whether the Safelight Receptacle Mode is set for Safelight or Accessory.
[4]
Which language do you prefer for the display messages?
Available languages include: Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian,
Portuguese, Spanish, and Swedish. Japanese is available by downloading software. See the User Manual for
Software Diagnostics, Publication No. 636719.
[5]
Do you prefer the temperature and transport speed display units to be metric (Centigrade and cm/min) or
English (Fahrenheit and in./min)?
[6]
During Standby, do you prefer that the transport rollers run continually or at intervals?
The Continuous Mode drives the transport system at a low speed (34 in./min.). This continuous movement
prevents the rollers from drying out and helps eliminate film artifacts. The Interval Mode drives the rollers only
periodically.
[7]
Will the PROCESSOR be operating with accessory equipment such as a film feeder or a multi-loader?
When using accessory equipment the Temperature Lockout must be ''OFF'', allowing the PROCESSOR to
accept film even when the developer temperature deviates from the specified temperature range.
Setting the Temperature Lockout to ''ON'' automatically disables the transport system when the developer
temperature deviates from the specified temperature range. The transport system remains disabled until the
temperature of the developer is back within range.
[8]
Will the PROCESSOR be processing roll film?
Roll film is normally processed in the STD cycle with RP chemicals, using a leader. The Kodak X-Omat 480 RA
Processor Roll Film Kit, CAT No. 160 6318, should be installed for correct operation of the PROCESSOR.
When processing lengths of film from 4.55 to 152 m (15 to 500 ft), the Kodak Roll Film Take-Up, Model 11,
CAT No. 118 6899, should be installed. When processing film that is shorter than 4.55 m (15 ft), manual
tension is required as the film is feeding into or exiting from the PROCESSOR to eliminate wandering and
looping of the film through the film transport.
For further guidance in the selection of PROCESSOR options, refer to the Operator Manual.
Now, continue with the System Check-out procedure that follows.
