 ■ INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
1. Prepare a power supply outlet of AC 220/230/240V, more than 10A exclusively for SRX-
101A. An insufficient power supply outlet may cause overheating and/or smoke
emission in the field.
2. Lay the power cord out so that it will not be tripped over and will not hit other pieces of
equipment. Plugs and cords bent or frayed from constant abrasion and/or trampling
may cause damage due to overheating and/or smoke emission in the machinery.
3. Use only direct wall/floor socket connections to power the SRX-101A. Hooking the
processor into desk-top sockets, double connectors, or multi-socketed connectors may
cause damage due to overheating and/or smoke emission in the machinery.
4. If an extension cord is required, use only cords that have been approved according to
local public utility standards. Improper extension cords may cause damage due to
overheating and/or smoke emission in the machinery.
5. Ground the SRX-101A to prevent electrocution accidents. Avoid the possibility of
electrocution or even explosions by not grounding the processor to any of the following
places:
1) Gas pipes
2) Lightning rods
3) Ground lines specially designed for telephones
4) Any water line or attachment
6. Keep all flammable and combustible materials away from the SRX-101A.
7. Keep direct forced air from heating and cooling equipment away from the SRX-101A.
8. Install the SRX-101A in a space that is well ventilated.
9. Use the SRX-101A on a perfectly flat, sturdy surface with a minimum of vibration.
10. Install the SRX-101A in a position accessible for easy operation, checking and
maintenance.
11. Carry the main body of the SRX-101A on a conventional hand carrier by two persons.

Should this manual become not readable due to any reason,

replace it with a new one which is available at charged basis.

4 PRE-INSTALLATION GUIDE
1. CHECK POINTS for PRE-INSTALLATION

1) Design your layout so that the SRX-101A will function smoothly within the work flow of
the whole X-ray department.
2) Together with constructing a foundation for the main unit, make preparations for water
supply, water drainage, exhaust and electrical outlets so that they can be easily
connected to the processor.
3) First, re-check your contract with the power company supplying your facility. Negotiate
any necessary contract changes and install any additional electrical lines in compliance
with the SRX-101A specification.
4) Secondly, make certain that the wash water volume, quality and temperature conditions
required by the SRX-101A can be fully satisfied by your present water supply system.
5) When utilizing city or other public water utilities, make sure to hire only mechanical
contractors who are recognized by these public authorities when constructing water
outlets for the SRX-101A.
6) Remember that used developer and fixer solutions must be disposed of in the specified
manner. If you do not have your own certified disposal facility, make arrangements with
a licensed professional who handles processing solution disposal.

conditions.
a. The liquid surface inside the replenisher tank is below the full marks of the main unit
processing tanks.
b. The top of the main unit support is less than 130cm from the floor or other surface
where the replenisher tank is standing.
t Using the accessory anti-slip rubber pads.

r If the water pressure is below 29.4kpa(0.3kgf)/cm2 or over 0.7R/min,wash water cannot be
maintained.
In this case, a malfunction may occur. Increase the water pressure.
t If the water pressure is exceeding 784kpa(8kgf)/cm2, use flow restrictor to reduce the
water pressure.
Excessive water pressure applied to the water line may cause the damage of the hoses.

5-3. Water Drainage Work

Maximum water
1.5 liters/minute
drainage capacity

1) The water drainage pipe should be of outer diameter 60mm hard PC tubing, located
free from the desk, and rising above the floor from between 50 to 100mm.
2) Run the accessory hoses from the main unit to the drain and cut off any excess.
q Wash Water Drainage Hose 12φx 16φ
w Overflow Drainage Hose 16φx 22φ
3) Lay the hose so that the drainage flow is as smooth as possible. Keep the hoses from
bending down to the floor at the drain. This can be done by installing the drain pipe as
close to the main unit as possible.
4) Take the proper measures to keep the drain pipe clean and odor free at all times.

5-4. FIX/DEV Drainage Work

1) Make arrangements to dispose of used DEV(developer) and FIX(fixer) solutions.

2) If you do not have your own certified disposal facility, make arrangements with a
licensed professional who handles the processing solution disposal.

PRE-INSTALLATION GUIDE 11
 5-5. Room Conditions
q The acceptable room conditions for operating the SRX-101A are :
Temperatures between 15: and 30:
Humidity levels between 30%RH and 75%RH
w In order to maintain the above room conditions, the facility where the SRX-101A is located
should be equipped with a ceiling mounted ventilation fan and a ventilation opening in the
wall below the height of the processor.

Ex. Darkroom Ventilation

Darkroom

SRX–101A
Ventilation Fan

Ventilation Opening
(below the height of the processor)

The ventilation wall opening should be as close to the processor as possible and as far
away from the ventilation fan as possible. Use light shielding materials for both the fan and
wall openings.
e Keep all fluorescent materials and combustible materials (thinner, benzene, gasoline.etc)
away from the processor. To prevent fires, store such dangerous materials in another
room.
r Divert heat from burners and space heaters away from the processor. Divert forced air
from air conditioning equipment away. Being exposed to direct blast of hot or cold air,
poor film processing quality may result.

w For AC 230V outlets, connect terminals #5 and #8.
e For AC 220V outlets, connect terminals #5 and #7.

w Prepare a power supply outlet of AC 220/230/240V, more than 10A exclusively for
SRX-101A. An insufficient power supply outlet may cause overheating and/or
smoke emission in the field.
e The power source voltage to the processor should be within a range of ±10% of the
specified requirement. The frequency (Hz) value should be within a range of ±2.5%
of the specified requirements.
r Lay the power cord out so that it will not be tripped over and will not hit other pieces
of equipment. Plugs and cords bent or frayed from constant abrasion and/or
trampling may cause damage due to overheating and/or smoke emission in the
machinery.
t Use only direct wall/floor socket connections to power the SRX-101A. Hooking the
processor into desk-top sockets, double connectors, or multi-socketed connectors
may cause damage due to overheating and/or smoke emission in the machinery.
y If an extension cord is required, use only cords that have been approved according
to the local public utility standards. Improper extension cords may cause damage
due to overheating and/or smoke emission in the machinery.
u Ground the SRX-101A to prevent electrocution accidents. Avoid the possibility of
electrocution or even explosions by not grounding the processor to any of the
following places:

1) Gas pipes
2) Lightning rods
3) Ground lines specially designed for telephones
4) Any water line or attachment

PRE-INSTALLATION GUIDE 13
 5-7. Installation of Sink
q Install a wash sink nearby the processor to keep it clean and to mix film processing
solutions.
w The wash sink should be at least 700mm long, 500mm wide and 200mm deep.
e The sink should be made of material highly resistant to concentrated acid and alkaline
solutions. We recommend either stainless steel (SUS 304, 316) or hard polyethylene.
r We also recommend a hot water line, since the processing racks are much easier to clean
thoroughly with warm water.
t Also use a wash sink with a plug, since heavily soiled racks are best cleaned by soaking
them in warm water.
