NOTE
If the upper limit of the room ambient temperature is exceeded, the developer temperature may
not be controlled correctly. A water chiller may be required.

To protect the processor and equipment directly interfaced with the processor, the
dryer must be vented according to the following specifications. Failure to properly
vent the dryer exhaust can cause corrosion within the processor and interfaced
equipment. In addition, the probability of processor-related film artifacts is
increased.
[1] The processor exhaust duct must be connected to the building exhaust ducting system. Disposal of
effluent air must comply with prevailing environmental codes.
[2] Use Table 4 to determine the proper amount of negative air within the duct at the end to be connected to
the processor. To prevent venturi effect at the duct opening, all measurements should be made at a
point 30.5 cm (12 in.) from the open end of the duct to be attached to the processor.
Compare the average reading with the table below.
