Product Features and Technical Data

Product Features HM-X-AFP/1 (in this document below it is defined as “Product” or “machine”) is new model of film processor. Developed by our experience of more than 20 years in the imaging industry, it is designed

to process X-ray, CT, MRI or other medical film with high performance.

To guarantee the best performance and reliability, the machine is made by ABS Internal parts of the

machine are all made by anti-corrosion materials. This Product utilizes micro chip for reliable control and operation. Four processing procedures of Develop, Fix, Wash, Dry can be realized in one

operation cycle. Furthermore, this Product features some automatic functions:

Using machine’s touch panel, you can set parameters for a specific function or multiple functions when

you use different chemicals and films. To simplify operation, one heating system which controls developer and fixer’s temperature, is used in HM-X-AFP/1.Two ways for replenishing chemicals, machine automatically replenish or you manually replenish. During normal operation, processor will

replenish all chemicals automatically after processing every 3pcs of film. When chemical solution level

is low or chemical concentration is less than normal, you can start replenishment manually.

Thanks to frequency modulation control technology, the main motor runs silently and performs

accurate operation. In some abnormal cases, i.e. chemical level low, high solution level in washing

tank, HM-X-AFP/1 will alarm to remind you to check the errors.

Once a film is fed into the entrance of machine, the system of transport, wash and dry will start to operate. HM-X-AFP/1 has an energy saving system, which enables itself (i.e. transport system, washing system, drying system) automatically stop operating when no film fed in.

The transport system will not start automatically unless chemical temperature reaches pre -set value,

even when you feed a fi lm. In this case, you can start transport when you press “» ” button on the touch

panel. However, unless the film comes out of the processor, you can not stop processor ’s transport

system by pressing “» ” button again.

? 3 rack assemblies.

? 2 waste containers.

? 1 water inlet hose. ? 1 water outlet hose.

? 1 bag of spare parts.

? Machine stand with fixings ? Documents (Operation Manual and Warranty Card).

Before Installing This Product is a fully automatic processing equipment that integrates mechanism and electric. To

enjoy its optimum performance, the machine should be installed with electrical technician and service

engineer being onsite. Also, ambient conditions should meet followings: ? Power supply voltage should only range from AC 220V to AC 240V. Maximum output of current

should be no less than 15A. Knife switch for power supply, safe switch of socket , receptacle and

safe grounding, which are specially used for this machine, should be supplied.

? The working room must be clean and well-ventilated, with ambient temperature between 15~

25? and relative humidity less than 85% (25? ).

? At least one water tap should be specially supplied as washing water, also including relevant

water pressure regulator, water pressure meter and filter. Water pressure should be kept between

1kg~ 2kg.

? A good draining system is required for draining the water’s overflow from the washing tank. Water

in washing tank runs in a cycle with water supply and water overflow happening simultaneously. Water overflows much more than the water that is supplied

? The floor for machine’s placement should be flat and reliable in case of machine shake, chemicals contamination, and thus affecting processing quality.

? A sink of at least 450mm x 700mm acreage should be availabl e in the working room or near the

machine, used as washing or soaking rack assemblies periodically.

Note: Disposal of the waste chemicals must comply with your local regulations.

Machine Placement

The machine can be placed in two modes.


? Mode 1: Film collecting in a light room, see figure 07. This placing mode divides film collecting side from film processing side. You can take any processed film away before the processing of

other films is finished. Meanwhile, this mode enables hot air coming from dryer to exhaust through

light room’s window, and keeps air in working room fresh. ? Mode 2: The whole machine is installed in a dark room. Locating the machine in this mode is

more convenient but you can not operate film processing and film collecting respectively. Hot air of machine can not exhaust in time. To prevent this and to keep air inside the room fresh, exhaust fan should be installed in the working room

Figure 07: Light room placement mode

How to Install

? After unpacking the machine’s crate, remove machine body and accessories. Assemble the stand

of machine according to Overview of Structure and Parts on page 7. Place the stand to the site

Machine Adjustment Turn on the processor Turn on the processor, select correct parameters for the using chemistry, like developing time,

temperature and etc.

Check according to LED indicator Pay at tention to the LED on the Circulation indicator and chemical heating indicator, if the LEDs are on, check inside of the tank to see if the water is really being circulated and if the

temperature of the water is getting up.

Note: Circulation is very import ant to the heating of chemicals, if the chemical is not well circulated,

then the temperature can not be raised rapidly and evenly, and this may effect the result of the film processing as well as damage the chemical heater. If the circulation system is not good, first check if

the LED and the circulation indicator is on, then check if the voltage to the circulation pump is

normal(220V). If the pump is working properly, then there might be some air in the pump which block the water flow. In this case pleas e switch off the processor and drain some water from the tank. Fill up

the tank and switch on the processor again. Do this two or three times if necessary until circulation is in good condition.

Feeding the film If circulation is good, close the machine cover, waiting for the chemicals temperature reaching

their setting point. A beeper will remind you this and you may feed with a film now. Choose

several pieces of used film, and feed them into the processor one by one. When you feeding the film, after the leading edge of the film was caught by the rollers at the entrance of the developing

rack, you may leave it and the film will entering the tank slowing. At the time, the dryer and the drying fan will start working. You may open the machine cover to check the film driving condition,

the washing water condition as well as the replenishing.

Balance the water

If the water tap for washing water is opened, you can find the city water goes into the washer tank then overflow from the overflow outlet. Please adjust the water tap or water pressure

regulator, until they reach dynamic balance. If the incoming water flow is too large, then water

can not drain from the overflow outlet on time, and may overflow to the fixer tank or even developer tank. If the incoming water flow is too small, then the film can not be cleaned enough,

and may result to a bad processing result. Make a mark on the tap when you find the ideal water flow.

Checking the speed

Checking the developing time with a stopwatch. You should start when the leading edge of the

film enters the developer chemical and stop when it enters the fixer chemical. Check all the three speeds and too see if they’re accurate.

Checking the temperature If the chemical temperature reaches the setting point, measure it with a thermometer and check

if it is in corresponding to the figure selected.

Clean the processor If all above steps are completed without any problem, you may clean the processor and fill with

chemicals. Drain all water in the tanks, take out the rack assemblies from each tank, clean the

tank and the rack with a dry and clean towel. If the tank or rack assemblies are not clean enough, rinsing with clean water again.

Ready for processing Close the draining valves re-load the rack assemblies and lock them. You’re ready for fill the

processor with chemicals and start formal processing now.

Processing Test Please follow below steps when you do processing test:

1) prepare all chemicals(both working and replenishing solutions) according to the instruction of the manufacturer. Then fill the fixer tank first. Do not spill over any fixer chemicals to other tank

or other parts of the processor. Wipe them off immediately if any.


2) then fill up the developer tank until to the overflow outlet.

3) fill the washing tank with clean water, then open the water tape for washing water. (us the

mark you made on the tap as a reference.)

4) Checking all the setting on the control panel to make sure if they meet the requirement of the using chemistry. Then switch on the processor.

5) Check the circulation of the chemical. If it is in order, close the machine cover, wait until the

chemical temperature reaches the setting point.

6) When the chemical temperature reaches the setting point, a buzzer will raise and you may

feed film into the processor now. It was recommended to have a glove when you handling the

film.

7) After the film come out from the dryer, check the density, contrast, and the drying condition of the film immediately, adjust the parameters like the temperature and time of developer,

temperature of the dryer as well as the amount of replenishment until the result satisfy you.


Safety

Safety warning 1. The machine must be earthed properly because of high humidity in the darkroom. 2. Service on the electrical/electronic components of the processor must be done by a qualified

technician.

3. After machine’s daily operation, be sure to switch off the power supply for your machine.

4. After machine’s daily operation, be sure to close the water supply in case of high water pressure

which will damage machine’s plastic hose and cause water to flow on the ground. 5. Avoid chemical solutions to spatter your eyes or skins. Using fresh water to wash your eyes or

skins if spattering happens.

Caution: We do not bear the responsibility of accident due to machine operator’s absence and machine’s running with power and water is being supplied.

Caution items 1. After switching on your machine every day, open the cover and check the solution circulation. Do

not proceed unless the circulation pumps are working normally.

2. Please pay usually attention to the water flow of washing water. To the areas that water pressure are not stable, a flow meter is recommended. Please do not use still water when processing and

drain out the water in the washing tank after your daily operation. (some microbe in still water may

cause alga which will cause problem for proper film transportation). 3. Do not leave the processor un-attended for long time while it is running. If there is any abnormal

noise or smell, stop the machine and have a check. 4. Do not leave the processor along with solutions in for a long period. If you would not use the

processor for more than 7 days, drain out the solutions and wash the solution tanks as well as the

rack assemblies.

5. After switching off the processor when you finish your daily work, please slide the machine cover

a little bit to release the damp inside the processor. 6. It is a better way to switch off your machine during its standby mode, that is dryer, transport roller

and blowers all stop working. This may help the machine to extend its life.

7. To assure high performance of the processor, please maintenance the processor as per following schedule.

8. Disposal of the waste chemicals and other disposal of waste material must comply with your local regulations. The waste of equipment must not be disposed as unsorted municipal waste and must be collected separately.
