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

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 ~
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
