Product Features and Technical Data

Product Features
HQ-350XT/450XT/450XM (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 (450XM is made by
PVC) plastic. 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 350XT.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, 350XT 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. 350XT 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 film. 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.

Checklist
Be sure that all the following equipment and accessories have been included with your machine. If
anything is missing, contact your dealer.
 Main HQ-350XT/450XT/450XM body.
 3 rack assemblies.
 2 waste containers.
 1 water inlet hose.
 1 water outlet hose.
 1 bag of spare parts.
 Machine stand with fixings (excluding HQ-450XM)
 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 available 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.

Document No.: X-ray series UserGuide (A3) Hu.q Page 17


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
where the whole machine will be placed. Level the stand so that it is stable.
 Remove the top cover of machine, carefully check:
 Any crack of machine chemical tanks due to transportation of machine.
 Loosing or missing contact of pumps’ hose connector.

After solving the problems that may occur, place machine body on the stand. Level the machine
by adjusting the four leveling feet that are located at the bottom side of the stand.
 Fit the plumbing (water inlet hose, drain hose, chemicals waste container, replenish hoses and
chemicals replenish container) properly according to the instruction labels that are marked on
them.

Document No.: X-ray series UserGuide (A3) Hu.q Page 18


Note: It is recommended that a water pressure regulator is installed on the hose of water inlet.

Water pressure should be controlled within the range of 1kg ~2kg. Pay attention that do NOT put

the wrong hose to the replenishing container. Check that all the drainage valves are closed. Close
them if not, and put the solution overflow hoses in the corresponding waste solution containers.
Connect the solenoid valve for washing to the city water tap by the hose and adaptor supplied. (if
for some reason you will not use the hose and adaptor we supplied, please make sure you’re
using reliable material and safety way.

 Check again all the drain valves are closed. Fill all 3 tanks with clean water until water overflow
from the overflow outlet. Check the leveling of the processor again by the water level. If any water
splash to the section contains electrical components, dry it with a hair dryer.
 Connect the power supply, turn on the power switch, then the circulation pumps will work, and the
water will be circulated. If everything is normal, you may access to the test now.

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 attention 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 important 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 please 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

Document No.: X-ray series UserGuide (A3) Hu.q Page 23


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.
9. There are one 10A fuse and one 15A fuse inside the machine’s main circuit.
