ThermoFlex Wide II Site Preparation
Guide
Introduction
Please take a few moments to read through this document. It provides guidelines for
preparing your site for the Kodak® ThermoFlex® Wide II platesetter installation.
Your service representative will help you to ensure that your site meets all the
requirements. Proper preparation will help to prevent unnecessary problems and
delays when installing the device.
The following topics are discussed:
•Device configuration
•Floor space requirements
•Device dimensions
•Weight requirements
•Electrical requirements
•Debris removal system requirements
•Environmental conditions
•Ventilation requirements
•Network/modem requirements
•Processor specifications
With your service representative, complete the Site Inspection Checklist in
Appendix B.
Tools Needed
•Microscope (100X recommended)
•Dotmeter: Centurfax CCDot, BetaFlex 330 or equivalent
•Press sheet densitometer (recommended): GretagMacbeth® D19C or D196,
X-Rite® 400 series, Tobias IQ150. All with relative density and dot area
(Murray-Davies) functions.

Cables, Connectors, and Receptacles
Tables 2–4 list the supplied and required cables and connectors for the output
device. Table 5 lists the power/air connections. An overview of the system
connections is shown in Figure 1 on page 8.
Table 2: Cables and Interconnects—North America
Cables Supplied by Kodak Required by customera
Output device main power Attached 4.5 m (14.7 ft.) power cord
with L6-30P plug
Dedicated 30 A, 200-240 V
circuit (single phase) with L6-30R
receptacle. The circuit breaker
must be 30 A time-delay type.
Drum vacuum drive power Labeled terminals for hookup of AC
mains input cable (3-phase plus
ground). Pilot hole for appropriate
conduit fitting.
Dedicated 20 A, 340-506 VAC
(±0%), 50/60 Hz, 3-phase branch
circuit with circuit breaker
protection.
Wiring, circuit breaker and panel
fittings supplied by customer in
accordance with local electrical
standards.
Workstation power Detachable 2.5 m (8.2 ft.) power
cable with 5-15P plug
Dedicated 15 A, 120 V branch
circuit and 5-15R receptacle
Chiller power 2.5 m (8.2 ft.) power cable with 5-

120 V, 15 A branch circuit
Debris removal cabinet power Refer to the UDRC Site Preparation Guide (part number 725-00089A).
Telephone line Modem and serial cable. The
modem power supply can be
plugged into a UPS.
Two dedicated telephone lines and
RJ-11 cables to plug into modem
(must be long enough to reach
workstation). One line is to
connect to the workflow, and the
other is to connect to Kodak
remote support.
a. The tolerances for input voltages are +6%, –10%. The specification for the frequency is 50/60 Hz ±1.5%.
Branch circuits should have time delay type circuit breakers to avoid nuisance tripping caused by inrush
currents. For details, see Electrical on page 13.
