Debris Removal Cabinet
Certain printing media (plates or film) may release airborne emissions during the
imaging process. Kodak output devices are supplied with—or may be able to be
upgraded to—a debris removal system containing a collection nozzle located on the
thermal head and a filtration unit, such as the Universal Debris Removal Cabinet
(UDRC).
The debris removal system is designed to extract and filter the airborne emissions, thus
contributing to a healthier working environment, consistent image quality, and general
reliability and cleanliness of the imaging device. Some types of media typically release
both particulate and gaseous emissions. Other types of media, under certain imaging
conditions, may release largely particulate emissions.
WARNING: Emissions, either particulate or gaseous, that are not properly filtered can
endanger your health. For a list of airborne emissions that pertain to the media you are
using, refer to the media MSDS or contact the media manufacturer or distributor
directly.
WARNING: Filtration of airborne emissions is not 100% efficient and must be
complemented by adequate outdoor air room ventilation. Failure to ensure adequate
ventilation may result in exposure to airborne emissions in excess of applicable
regulatory limits and in possible discomfort, illness, injury, and/or disability.

Site Requirements 11
The UDRC configuration may include various filter options tailored to suit specific
qualified media types. The configuration for a particular customer site is typically
specified in a Kodak proposal, sales agreement, order form, product specification, or
equivalent document.
The cabinet must be located within the cable and hose limitations.
For more information on the debris removal cabinet, please refer to the UDRC Site
Preparation Guide (part number 725-00089A).
Environmental Conditions
Install the device in a clean prepress area wherever possible to ensure the highest
quality output. If you must install the device in a pressroom environment, an
enclosed room is mandatory.
Operating environment for the device:
Temperature 17o–25o C (63o–77 oF)
Humidity 30%–70% RH, non-condensing
For the UDRC operating environment, see the UDRC Site Preparation Guide (part
number 725-00089A).
Floors
The floor must be level, with a maximum incline or waviness of ±12.5 mm (±0.5 in.)
across the footprint. The maximum floor loading specifications for the device are:
•Maximum concentrated load: 400 kg (880 lb.)
•Loading pressure: 635 kPA (92 psi) (per area of one support foot)
•Floor load (average): 260kg/m2(53 lb./ft.2)
The device is suitable for mounting on a concrete floor or other non-combustible
floor material only, extending a minimum of 150 mm (5.9 in.)around the perimeter
of the machine.
The floor loading specifications for the pedestal’s Hilti® bolts are 13790 kPA (2000
psi) in North America. For installation in Europe, contact the local Hilti dealer for
their Technical Guide for Concrete Strength to ensure adequate concrete strength.
Note: Some media types may restrict the operating environment of the system. Consult
the media manufacturer for their recommended temperature and humidity ranges for
media use and storage.

12 ThermoFlex Wide II Site Preparation Guide
Floor Vibration
If the customer site is close to heavy vehicle or rail traffic routes, or is near an
industrial site, the ThermoFlex device may be exposed to high levels of vibration
through the floor. The customer is responsible for hiring an independent contractor
to conduct floor vibration tests to determine the level of vibration. These tests will
show what shock acceleration will get transmitted to the ThermoFlex device during
imaging. The results of the vibration test must be sent to a Kodak representative for
further analysis.
Recommendations on how to check the vibration levels are shown below:
1. Hook up an accelerometer probe with a sensitivity of 1000 mV/g (such as the
Kistler® PiezoBEAM® accelerometer, Model 8628B5) to a signal analyzer.
2. Attach the probe to a metallic block that is approximately 50 mm3(2 in.3).
3. Place the block on the floor where the output device will be installed so that
vibration in the vertical direction can be measured.
4. Set the analyzer range to 0–200 Hz (x-axis) and 0–10 mg (y-axis).
5. Measure and record the floor vibration spectrum from 0–200 Hz when there
are maximum peaks of seismic activity at the site.
6. Repeat step 5 at least 5 times.
Test result guidelines:
•0 to 2 milli-g’s acceleration (0-200 Hz)—no image artifacts expected.
•2 to 10 milli-g’s acceleration (0-200 Hz)—requires analysis of specific
frequency peaks and amplitudes.
•Greater than 10 milli-g’s (0-200 Hz)—very high probability of image artifacts.

Site Requirements 13
Electrical
The dedicated branch circuit for the output device main power, external chiller
power, debris removal system main power, and workstation main power must be
supplied from the same AC supply panel to ensure that all branch circuits are at the
same ground potential.
Figure 4 shows the configuration of the receptacles used by the device and
peripheral equipment.
Figure 4: Receptacles used on ThermoFlex Wide devices
See the UDRC Site Preparation document (725-00089A) for information on UDRC
electrical connections.
Power Quality
If you suspect that there are problems with the power supply, a power monitor
should be installed to measure power quality. If the power supply is unreliable, a line
conditioner may be required. If power in the local area is suspect, check with the
local service
If the power quality at the customer site is outside Kodak specifications (+6%/–
10%), the customer should purchase a line conditioner for the ThermoFlex Wide II
circuit from a local supplier.
If there are concerns about power quality (blackouts or brownouts) at the customer
site, an online uninterruptible power supply (UPS) device can be purchased from a
local supplier. A UPS allows a correct, complete shutdown of the device. (A line
conditioner allows the device to function for extended periods of time when the
power conditions are outside of the ThermoFlex Wide II specifications.
Note: A UPS does not provide adequate line conditioning.
UPS specifications are available from the supplier.
Special Precautions
The plugs on the power cord(s) of the system are intended to be the disconnect
device. Therefore, the branch circuit receptacle(s) must be installed near the
ThermoFlex Wide II and be easily accessible.
5-15R IEC320IEC309 L6-20R

14 ThermoFlex Wide II Site Preparation Guide
Heat Output
The nominal heat output of the ThermoFlex Wide II device itself is 2200 watts (7513
BTU/hr.), while the drum vacuum pump gives off approximately 5600 watts (19220
BTU/hr.) of additional heat.
For heat output of the debris cabinet, see the UDRC Site Preparation Guide (part
number 725-00089A).
Power Line Voltage/Frequency
Line voltage at the customer site must remain within +6%/–10% of the ThermoFlex
Wide II rated voltage of 200 V–240 V, or between 180V and 254 V. The frequency
is 50/60 Hz ±1.5%.
The electrician at the customer site should install the correct outlet to provide
power to the device. The device must be powered from a different line than the
workstation. Tolerances for the specified input voltages require balanced power
inputs (L1–G=L2–G, or L1G=L1–N).
Power connectors must be the locking type in North America and Industrial type B
in Europe, due to the high leakage current of the equipment. Frequency is 50/60Hz
±1.5%.
Power Line Disturbances
The reliable operation of computer systems depends on the availability of relatively
noise-free AC power. Lightning, line faults, or power switching, commonly found in
machinery or equipment in office or factory environments, can generate line
transients that far exceed the peak value of the applied voltage. If not attenuated,
these microsecond pulses can disrupt system operation. The power line to the
machine should be run away from electrically noisy power cables. If power line
disturbances are affecting the operation of the machine, the use of a power stabilizer
is highly recommended.
Dips in power should not exceed 30% of nominal voltage with a maximum duration
of 10 ms. Fast transient disturbances on the power line should not exceed 1.0 kV.

Site Requirements 15
Air Supply
The output device requires a clean, dry, oil-free, dust-free, and moisture-free air supply
of 1130 liters/min @ 827 kPA (40 SCFM @ 100 psi dynamic minimum to 120 psi
dynamic maximum) of shop air, not to exceed 120 psi static.1
A screw-type or scroll-type compressor is preferred. The air supply should conform
to ISO 8573-1 Class 4.
•Maximum particle size 15 m (0.0006 in.)
•Concentration of solid contaminants: 8 mg/m3(0.000216 oz./yd.3)
•Maximum pressure dew point 3ºC (37.4ºF)
•Maximum oil content 5 mg/m3(0.000135 oz./yd.3)
Ventilation
No filtration can be 100% efficient (for example, carbon monoxide is not captured
by Kodak filters). That is why outdoor air ventilation is required with the debris
removal system. Air exhaust vents (where air is drawn out of the room) should be
located as close to the debris removal cabinet and output device as possible.
The ThermoFlex Wide II device requires a minimum of 340 m3/hr (200 cfm)2
outdoor air ventilation. This air ventilation prevents the accumulation of airborne
emissions that may be released when certain media are imaged.3
Outdoor air ventilation must not be confused with air circulation in the room that
results from temperature control or humidity control. Outdoor air ventilation may be
roughly estimated to be 10% to 30% of the air circulation rate in the room. To
achieve adequate air mixing, Kodak recommends at least 3 ACH (air changes per
hour).
These recommendations apply to a single device with no other equipment in the
room. Other imaging equipment, processors, ovens, HVAC systems, and so on, may
contribute additional emissions to the work environment, increasing the amount of
outdoor air ventilation required.
The customer is responsible for assessing the level of airborne emissions in the
room to ensure that, upon installation of the ThermoFlex Wide II, the requirements
of local, state, provincial, regional, and national regulations for occupational health
and safety are satisfied. In the event of any uncertainty about the levels of airborne
emissions, the customer should arrange for an indoor air quality assessment to be
conducted by a qualified industrial hygienist.
1. Guidelines for achieving these specifications for air cleanliness, volume and
pressure are provided in Air Compressors for Creo Output Devices (part number
750-00006A).
Note: Do not add lubricant.
2. This is a default value. Certain media may require higher ventilation; to check the
recommended value for specific media, refer to the CTP Media Imaging
Performance Database (available from your Kodak representative).
3. Information on the hazardous compounds released by a particular media during
imaging should be available from the media manufacturer’s Material Safety Data
Sheet or equivalent document.

16 ThermoFlex Wide II Site Preparation Guide
External Venting for Debris Removal System
If the external venting option is chosen for the debris removal system, the piping
connected to the end of the debris cabinet hose shall be limited to one of:
1. 2 in. pipe (maximum Schedule 40)
•maximum length = 45 m (150 ft.)
•maximum number of 90obends/elbows = 1 per 3 m (10 ft.)
OR
2. 2 1/2 in. pipe (maximum Schedule 40)
•maximum length = 105 m (350 ft.)
•maximum number of 90obends/elbows = 1 per 3 m (10 ft.)
OR
3. 3 in diameter or larger ducting
•maximum length = 240 m (800 ft.)
•maximum number of 90obends/elbows = 1 per 3 m (10 ft.)
The piping material may be galvanized steel, painted carbon steel, PVC, or a similar
suitable material.
All joints and unions from the hose coupling to the exhaust/exit of the external
venting piping shall be properly sealed along their length to prevent ingress or
egress or any gas or liquid. Before initial startup, it is recommended that a pressure
test be performed to ensure that this requirement is met.
The exhaust/exit of the external venting piping will be free to the exterior of the
building, without any restrictions. Adequate non-restrictive weather protection shall
be installed as required. The exit of the external venting piping must be regulated to
ensure that no flow occurs when the debris cabinet is not in operation (i.e., back-
flow prevention).
The customer shall supply a coupling to connect the external venting piping with the
1.5 in ID hose from the debris cabinet. This coupling should install by simply slipping
the hose over a braided section of it and securing it with a hose clamp.
Connecting to an Existing Ventilation System
If the customer already has a ventilation system that exhausts to the exterior of the
building (such as a processor exhaust system), the venting piping for the debris
system may be joined to it. The end of the debris system venting pipe should be
mated to the exhaust vent upstream of the ventilation fan, as follows:
The limitations on pipe length described above apply.
Note: Option 3 is not recommended due to sealing issues. It may be used if there is an
exhaust fan installed that ensures a vacuum within the ductwork at all times (the
minimum flow of the exhaust fan must be greater than 35 SCFM).
PROCESSOR INLET FROM
DEBRIS CABINET VENTING FAN EXTERIOR
WARNING: The exhaust fan for processor ventilation must be ON at the same as the
debris removal system is ON (i.e., whenever the imaging device is operating). Failure to
ensure this may result in air that has not been chemically treated entering the facility.
