  • Page 8: Installation

    Installation Installation 1. Requirements for installation Fresh water connection: Shut-off tap, thread with 3/4" outside diameter (wash- ing machine connection), Water pressure 2 - 10 bar (29 - 145 psi). Drainage connection: Plastic tube - inner diameter 50 mm (2”) or larger. A ventilated syphon which serves as odour preventor should be included in the planning.
  • Page 9 Installation 4. Connecting the processor Water connection: Connect the water hose which comes out from the processor’s back to the fresh water supply. All other hoses (see diagram page 10): First cut off the pre-installed hoses at the film processor so that the angle stubs protrude somewhat beyond the edge of the table (see figure).
  • Page 10 Installation Hose Connections Pay attention to the correct colour connections: Replenishment Developer: red; Fixer: blue; Overflow Water: clear Outlet Danger of Overflow! Use the included cable ties (accessory bag) to secure the hos- es. Fix all hose ends which lead into the syphon or collecting container, so that they do not drop into the liquid.

  • Page 11: Initial Operation

    Initial Operation Initial Operation 1. Test run Important! Processor should not be run dry! 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.

  • Page 12: Operation

    Operation Operation Short Overview and Front Panel Pad Functions • Feeding film Before feeding the next film wait until the LED stops flashing, but is continuously on. An acoustic signal additionally indicates that the next film can be inserted. • Power (ready to operate) The LED is on as long as the unit is on.

  • Page 13: Stand-By Mode

    Operation Before use... Close water-drainage stop cock. Open water tap. Switch processor on. Check liquid level in replenishment and drainage collecting containers. Wait until the developer temperature is reached. The LED stops flashing when the heat-up phase is completed. Run cleaning films through processor. Working procedure Processing films: Open light protection cover.

  • Page 14: Switching On The Machine

    Operation Switching on the machine The processor is switched on at the main switch (front right). The developer bath will be heated up. The LED flashes during the warm-up phase and no X-ray film must be inserted into the machine during this time. When the machine is ready, a acoustic signal is heard and the LED is on continuously.

  • Page 15: Automatic Replenishment

    Operation Automatic replenishment Depending on the processed amount of films the chemicals are replenished auto- matically. This is done by pumping chemicals from the replenishment containers. The surface area of the film processed is calculated on the basis of the film detec- tion switch at the film feed.

  • Page 16: Care

    Care Care Daily Care Before use... • Remove dirt and dust from film-infeed with soft cloth. • Run 2 - 3 cleaner films through the processor to remove all accumulated dirt and dust from the rollers. • Check the liquid level in the replenishment containers and if necessary refill. •...

  • Page 17: Thorough Cleaning

    Care 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 manufacturer's instructions explicitly.
