Environment Requirements
Room Temperature:
15 - 30°C (59 - 86°F)
Relative Humidity:
40 - 76% RH (noncondensing over operating temperature range)
Altitude:
Maximum altitude 2424 m (8000 ft) above sea level.
Ambient Light:
Room lighting should not exceed 450 lux (150 ft-candles) at the
PROCESSOR. The room must be capable of going completely dark
when loading film into the PROCESSOR.
Heat Output:
2200 Btu/hour
Ventilation:
• Volume - full load, 2,100 L/min (75 ft
3
/min), maximum, 24 hours per day
• 66°C (150°F) maximum
• EXHAUST DUCT from the building with an Adjustable Air Gap - 0.76
- 2.54 mm (0.03- 0.10 in.) of water
• 10.2 cm (4 in.) DUCT 0.25 - 1.02 mm
Check local codes for venting requirements.
• If venting is not correct, fumes will corrode the equipment. Do not install the PROCESSOR or
ACCESSORIES if the venting is not correct.
• If the PROCESSOR is installed with an AUTOFEEDER or FEED TABLE is located in the darkroom and the
PROCESSOR is installed in a daylight location, the darkroom must have adequate pressure to ensure a
positive airflow from the FEED to the DRYER. This should avoid condensation problems.
• The airflow is correct when the fumes are flowing out the PROCESSOR through the EXHAUST HOSE.
• If the ventilation is to be connected to the PROCESSOR, measure negative static pressure in the
EXHAUST DUCT. See on the page x.
Plumbing Requirements
• All plumbing requirements must comply with local and national codes. Do not use IRON PIPES.
• All DRAIN material must be made of chemically resistant, non-corrosive material. Use PVC or the
equivalent.
Water Supply
• Temperature
– 10° - 60°C (64° - 140°F)
– If the temperature of the water supply is higher than 60°C (140°F), install a
WATER CHILLER.
– A tempered water supply is recommended for cleaning the PROCESSOR and for
mixing chemicals manually.
• Filtered
– 50-micron WALTER FILTERED is recommended in the input water line
• Flow Volume
– 2.5 L/min
• Pressure
– 3 - 10 bars
• Location:
– Accessible to both the PROCESSOR and the REPLENISHMENT TANKS
HOSES
2-way magnetic VALVE with 3/4” HOSE connection using a DVGW system device or
PIPE device
DRAIN
• Size: 32 mm (5.4 in.) HOSE connection
• Minimum Diameter - 7.6 cm (3 in.) with no obstructions
• Distance from PROCESSOR - 1.5 m (60 in.)
• Height from floor - Top of the DRAIN or DRAIN CONTAINERS must be lower than
the bottom of the PROCESSOR.
• Capacity
– 1 L/min (1/4 gal/min) during normal operation
– 2.85 L/min 3/4 gal/min) for draining all three solutions together
– 0.95 L/min (1/4 gal/min) if each solution is drained separately
