1.1.2 Qualified staff and system operation
CAUTION:
Only trained staff to be allowed to unpack or operate the
device. Onlytrained service engineers are allowed to work
on the equipment and electrical installation.
Staff in charge of maintaining the processor (see chapter 11and 12) need to be thoroughly
familiar and trained with the equipment. The equipment should not be operated without
supervision.
Only the top cover of the film processor may be removed by the operator (see picture
below)
CAUTION:
The installation, service, repair as well as the initial operation of
the machine must be carried out by qualified and trained service
personnel only !
Carry out the following steps prior to removing the top cover:
1. Give instructions to the operators of the film processor.
2. Switch off the main power switch („0“-position)
The film processor is a complex machine with moving parts such as
rotating gears and roller components. It uses photo processing
chemicals which are irritating to eyes, lungs and skin. High voltage is
used to power the film processor.
DANGER:
Do not operate the film processor after consuming alcohol or
taking strong medication.

WARNING
WARNING
DANGER
WARNING
Room temperatures between 18-26 °C (65-80 °F) with a relative humidity between 35%
and 75%are ideal for photographic processing and working.
WARNING: Electrical and mechanical hazards
Observe all safety warnings to minimize the risk of electrical shock,
burns or equipment damage.
Photographic film processors are complex machines with many
electrical and mechanical parts as well as with a considerable
amount of chemicals.
1.1.3 Mechanical hazards
Observe all safety warnings to minimize the risks of mechanical hazards.
WARNING:
Hands or fingers may be pinched or injured by moving parts or
when handling heavy parts.
Make sure that clothing or other objects cannot get trapped in gear drives or the
roller transport system within the film processor.
Do not wear jewellery or loose clothing when
operating the processor.
WARNING:
The roller transport system of the processor is a potential
hazard - fingers, loose clothing or jewellery can get drawn into
rollers or gearwheels.
1.1.4 Electrical hazards
DANGER:
During installation qualified service personnel must certify that the
processor is permanently and reliably grounded according to the
standards in the national electrical code.

CAUTION
WARNING
DANGER
WARNING
Main power switch
The film processor must be separated from mains
power prior to carrying out any maintenance. This
is done by switching the mains power switch of
the machine to the „0“ position.
Built-in safety devices must not be by-passed
or made inoperative. Only use original
COLENTA spare parts when replacing failed
electrical components.
DANGER:
Hazardous voltage can cause electrical shocks, burns or fatal injury !
1.1.5 Fire hazards
Fire Prevention
Beware that combustible materials ignite and cause fires.
WARNING:
The area around 3 meters of the processor must be kept clean at all
times. Keep dust, wood shavings, scrap paper or other inflammable
materials out of the dryer compartment.
A functional 5kg ABC fire extinguisher must be available in the
room where the processor is installed.
Burn hazard
CAUTION:
Dryer compartment produces heat. Dryer parts and covers get hot,
therefore do not touch dryer parts or covers
when the processor is in operation.
Fire hazards
WARNING:
Dryer compartment produces heat - Paper or other flammable
material can ignite.

1.1.6 Chemical hazards:
Corrosiveliquids
WARNING:
CHEMICALS MAY IRRITATE EYES, LUNGS, SKIN AND DIGESTIVE TRACT
Eyes, skin and lungs may be irritated by photo chemicals.Before using photo
processing chemicals always read the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs)
for information about the hazards of the particular chemicals and how to use
them safely contact the chemicals manufacturer or dealer.
Wear safety goggles,protective gloves and
chemical aprons as indicated on Material
Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs)when handling
chemicals.
CAUTION:
To avoid hazardous situations, keep floors and floor coverings
around the processor and associated drains clean and dry
at all times. Any accumulation of fluids outside the film processor
should be cleaned/removed immediately.
Ensure proper ventilation in the area where chemicals are prepared,
used or stored.
Drain tanks carefully,avoid splashing. Always drain the system thoroughly before
working on any of the external hose systems. Do not allow untrained personnel to
handle photo processing chemicals or to operate the film processor.
Chemical disposal
Waste from photographic processing normally contains diluted chemicals. These chemicals
should be collected and disposed in accordance with local environmental codes. Dumping
chemicals into a drain system could lead to a pollution problem. Contact your local water
treatment and sewer district authorities before disposing chemicals.
All plumbing must comply with local and national codes. The DRAIN must be made of
chemical resistant and non-corroding material. Use PVC or equivalent.
Exhaust,temperature and humidity
It is necessary to ensure proper ventilation in order to receive good processing results.
Make sure that the exhaust hose of the built-in exhaust fan is properly connected to the
exhaust air socket (Picture 1).
The built-in exhaust fan exhausts the fumes from the film processor.
These chemical fumes are corrosive. The top cover and the feed cover lid of the film
processor should be left slightly open over night (picture2).

CAUTION
CAUTION
WARNING:
Take care when draining the processor tanks for cleaning with
running water. ALL racks must be removed from the processor for cleaning.
Chemical handling and accident prevention
Misuse of almost anychemical may create a hazard of some type. Generally photo chemicals are not
anymore dangerous than most of the regular cleaning agents. However, there isalways a residual
risk.Whenhandlingchemicalsobservetheprocedures below.
1).Never smell into a container or open bottle to determine its contents. A cautious sniff of the cap
or lid is safer.
2).Label storagecontainers properly. Avoid storinghazardous chemicalson highshelvesor in
unprotected glass containers. Keep chemicals awayfrom children. Do not store chemicals in a
refrigerator used forfood because theymaycontaminatefoodor bemistakenforedibles.
3).Observethemanufacturer’srecommendationsforusingandmixingchemicals.
CAUTION:
Overexposure to photographic chemicals may cause skin irritation
to certain individuals.
PHOTOGRAPHICCHEMICALEMERGENCIES
AND FIRSTAIDPROCEDURES:
•SKIN - Rinse thoroughly with water.
•EYES -Rinse thoroughly with water and consult a physician.
•BY MOUTH -Consult a physician immediately.
