OPERATORS MANUAL
4 May 1997 – 5B6729
Introduction
Intended Audience
This manual is written for all users of the Kodak X-Omat 5000 RA Processor. The novice user needs
only a basic working knowledge of automatic radiographic film processors in order to understand the
instructions and procedures outlined in this manual. The experienced user may only need to refer to
this manual when using some of the features and functions new to the 5000 RA Processor.
How To Use this Manual
The manual is organized by topics. Each topic contains all the information you need to perform the
given task:
• instructions for navigating through the required menus
• sample menu displays that appear after each key selection

5B6729 – May 1997 5
Overview
Product Description
The Kodak X-Omat 5000 RA Processor is a general-purpose radiographic processor, which uses a
conventional roller transport system to accommodate both roll and sheet film.
Features of the 5000 RA Processor include microprocessor control, an operator interface, error
detection and indicators, and “smart” replenishment. The 5000 RA Processor also provides 4 operator-
selectable film processing cycles, which run at 4 default transport speeds. The 4 cycles are:
• K/RA
• Rapid
• Standard
• Extended
Each cycle has default parameters or setpoints for transport speed, developer and fixer replenishment
volumes and for developer, fixer, and Dryer temperatures. These default parameters are stored in
memory, but can be modified by the operator. See the table on Page 18 for these default parameters
and setpoints.
All cycles, except for the K/RA cycle, use standard RP chemicals and film. The K/RA cycle requires
RA chemicals and film.

Using the Display Panel
The operator can select, change, and monitor processing variables for the Kodak X-Omat 5000 RA
Processor, using the Display Panel. See the figure below.
Figure 3 Display Panel
The Display Panel provides the following status information of the Processor:
• Ready, Wait, and Service Status Indicators
• Status/Error Messages
• Current cycle
• Current function for each of the Soft Keys
• DeveloperTemperature°Cor°FIndicator,which providesthecurrenttemperatureof thedeveloper
in the Processor Tank
• Replenishment Indicator, which illuminates when either Replenishment Pump is operating
Explanation of Status Indicators
The 3 Status Indicators provide the following information:
• If the Green “Ready” Indicator is illuminated, the Processor is ready to accept film.
• If the Yellow “Wait” Indicator is illuminated, the Processor has not yet reached optimum film
processing conditions.
• If the Red “Service” Indicator is illuminated, the Processor is in need of service.
AsecondsetofStatus Indicators is located on the feed end of the Processor. These 3 Status Indicators
operate in the same way as the Status Indicators on the Display Panel.
Located below the Status Indicators on the feed end of the Processor, is a second row of Indicators,
which indicate the current film processing cycle.

The Display Panel also has 5 keys called “Soft Keys.” These keys, located just below the message
area of the Display Panel, allow you to select, change, and monitor Processor variables.
After you press a key to make a selection from the menus displayed, the functions of the first 4 keys
change to describe the next lower level of menu selections. Keys that are not used in a particular menu
level remain blank. Pressing the fifth key, “DONE/RETURN,” executes the function and causes the
previous menu level to be displayed.
Several characteristics of the Soft Keys to be aware of are:
1. All screens that allow the operator to change data or the configuration of the Processor display a
“DONE/RETURN” key, which allows you to return to the previous screen.
2. All options that allow you to change data, configuration, or affect the functionality of the Processor
take effect immediately after you release the key, even if you do not press the DONE/RETURN key.
3. To modify numerical values, use the up and down arrow keys. Each time you press either the up
or down arrow key, the value will change by one unit. To scroll through an entire range of values
quickly, simply press and hold either the up or down arrow key.
Adjusting the Contrast of the Display Panel
[1] To lighten the display, press and hold Soft Key 4 on the Display Panel. At the same time, press Soft Key 2 on
the Display Panel to obtain the desired contrast.
[2] To darken the display, press and hold Soft Key 4 on the Display Panel. At the same time, press Soft Key 1 on
the Display Panel to obtain the desired contrast.
Enabling the Auto Dimming Feature
The Display Panel remains illuminated unless the Processor is placed in Sleep Mode. However, if your Processor
is installed in a darkroom and you want the Display Panel to dim when the room is dark to avoid fogging films, your
service provider can enable the roomlight Sensor. Enabling the Sensor will cause the Display Panel to dim
automatically when the room lights are turned off.
Adjusting the Intensity of the Interface Control Panel
The Light Intensity Adjustment Control allows you to change the brightness of the Indicators located on the feed end
of the Processor. If the room is brightly lit, no adjustment is available; the Indicators illuminate at full intensity. When
the room is dark or dimly lit, you can adjust the intensity by rotating the Adjustment Control.
[1] To brighten the intensity of the Indicators, rotate the Adjustment Control clockwise .
[2] To dim the intensity of the Indicators, rotate the Adjustment Control counterclockwise .
