INSTALLATION
• Sitting of the VELOPEX
When using the machine in daylight or a darkroom, avoid sources of intense light.
Do not mount the unit under a window, fluorescent light or flood lamp.
IMPORTANT NOTE: A well ventilated position is mandatory.
The ambient temperature must be below 26ºC (78.8ºF) and above 5ºC (41ºF) to
prevent lengthy warm-up temperatures.
Prevent sitting the machine above or near other electrical or mechanical equipment.
Surfaces susceptible to water or chemical damage should be avoided, such as
carpeted areas.
1. COUNTER PLAN
(REFER TO MACHINE LOCATION AND DRILLING TEMPLATE IL-31)
a) Use a counter that will support a minimum of 91Kg (200lbs).
b) With a minimum height of 79cm (31in).
c) With a minimum width of 53cm (21in).
d) With a minimum depth of 61cm (24in).
This will give you a working area of 0.32 sq.m (3.5 sq.ft)(See page 1).
2. ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
a) Refer to specification table, page v.
b. The power source must be within one metre (3 feet) of the
machine above the counter and well separated from the water
supply. It should be easily accessible for operation and maintenance.
3. COMMERCIAL WATER SUPPLY
ATTENTION! Use only the hoses supplied with this machine.
a) Water temperature no higher than 26º (78.8ºF).
b) A water valve adjusted to a water flow rate of 1.0ltr/min
(0.27 gal/min).
c) The supply should be fitted with an Isolating Valve just prior to the
main On/Off faucet/valve which should be adjusted before installation
to limit water flow to delivery rate of 1.0ltr/min (0.27gal/min).
VELOPEX EXTRA-X
User Guide
3
d) The output side of the Mains On/Off faucet/valve must have a
3/4” male thread (see diagram on page 1). The faucet/valve should
be situated in such a position that it can be easily turned off each
day.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The water inlet hose supplied with this machine is not a
standard Domestic Applicance Hose. It is fitted with a water flow restrictor valve
designed to deliver water at a max. Rate of 1.0ltr/min (0.27gal/min). It is suitable
for all installations where the mains water supply is rated between 0.2 & 10.0
Bar. However, for installations without mains water supply, e.g.: where a header
tank is employed (min. height 1.83m (6ft.) above machine) a standard hose
without restrictor must be used and the flow regulated to 1.0ltr/min (0.27gal/
min) with the separate Control Valve.
4. DRAIN
a) A corrosion resistant PVC drainpipe 38mm (1.5 in) diameter with
a length of 56-61cm (22-24 inches).
NOTE: The Drains Pipe should not rise higher than 102mm (4.0 in.)
below the bottom of the machine (see page 1).
5. VELOPEX free standing Machine Stand.
USA:
A) Shelf dimensions 49.5cm (19.5 in.) by 51.6cm (20.3 in.).
b) Shelf heigh “lower” 22.9cm (9in.) and “upper” 78.7cm (31in.).
WORLDWIDE:
a) Shelf dimensions 39.4cm (15.1in.) by 59.7cm (23.5in.).
b) Shelf height “lower” 22.9cm (9in.) and “upper” 81.0cm (31.9in.)
WARNING: X-ray radiation can be harmful to patient, technician and dentist.
Inadequate lead shielding of the darkroom or film storage area will also cause
fogging from exposure of films to stray x-ray radiation. Consult your local
codes, Health Department or Dental Equipment Dealer for proper construction
of darkroom or placement of film processing equipment in the vicinity of x-ray
radiation sources.

Pre-Installation Instructions (Cont.)
NOTE: For unpacking and lifting the machine into position it is important to have
assistance.
Fragile
Keep Dry
This Side Up
The machine comes in a single carton.
Check contents of the box, see page ii.
NOTE: Pictures are for instruction only and are not necessarily identical to product.
1. Lift the machine from the carton and position on counter top. Remove
outer and inner packaging, including carry-straps and tape securing
film-catcher. The transport modules are protected by internal packing
pieces: these must be discarded.
2. Connect the Water Waste hose to the back of the machine. 3. Cut hoses to allow 200-300mm (8-12 inches) to be inserted into the waste
outlet stand-pipe, ensuring no loops or kinks are left in them. Place hoses
in drain.They must not rise higher than the outlet on the back of the machine.
WARNING: Any rise in the height of these pipes above the level of the outlet on the
machine will cause incomplete drainage, and could cause the machine to flood.
