Welcome to the Classic E.O.S.
The Classic E.O.S. is a processor for medical X-ray films developed by Agfa.
The Classic E.O.S. cannot process rollfilms.
The Classic E.O.S. offers the following features:
■Three fast processing cycles for optimal processing quality in accordance with
the film type that is used: High Throughput (HT), Intermediate Processing (IP)
and Rapid Processing (RP).
■Operation of the processor can be completely customized by means of the fol-
lowing processing parameters:
• developer temperature,
• dryer stage,
• developer replenishment rate,
• fixer replenishment rate,
• jog-cycle function (standby developer and fixer replenishment),
• initial developer and fixer replenishment function.
■The Classic E.O.S. (‘Ecological Optimized System’) features a twin fixer tank
system which reduces substantially the silver carry-over to the rinse water tank.
• After development, the exposed film enters the first fixer tank, where most of the
silver is removed from the film.
• The film then is transported through the second fixer tank, to be treated again with
fresh fixer.
• As a consequence, when the film is passed to the rinse water tank, silver freight
carry-over will be very low.
❖
Agfa can guarantee optimal film quality and compliance with statutory regulations
only if Agfa materials are used.

Safety precautions
General safety instructions
■The Classic E.O.S. was designed for processing medical X-ray films, and should
only be used for this purpose.
■The processor may only be operated by qualified staff, skilled on the machine.
■Make sure that only by Agfa authorized personnel has access to the processor.
■Only trained and authorized service personnel can make repairs or changes to
the processor.
■If there is visible damage to the machine casing, the processor should not be
started or used.
■Do not override or disconnect the integrated safety features.
■Disconnect the processor from the mains before performing any maintenance
activities.
■Like all technical devices, the processor must be operated, cared for and ser-
viced correctly, as described in the documentation provided with the machine.
■If the processor is not operated correctly or if you do not have it serviced cor-
rectly, Agfa is not liable for resulting disturbances, damages or injuries.
■When installing the processor, care must be taken to ensure that there is either a
mains plug or an all-cable disconnecting device in the internal installation fitted
near the processor and that it is easily accessible.
■If connections with other components or assemblies are made, Agfa can guaran-
tee safety only for combinations which are approved by Agfa.
■If you notice conspicuous smoke or noise, disconnect the processor immedi-
ately.

Special instructions for the handling of chemicals
■When handling chemicals, you must observe safety and environmental regula-
tions as well as the operating and warning instructions accompanying the chem-
icals.
■Wear stipulated protective clothing and safety goggles.
■When disposing of chemicals and waste water, you must comply with the local
regulations concerning waste water and environmental protection.
■If chemicals get into your eyes, immediately rinse your eyes with cold water and
consult a physician.
■Do not inhale vapor from chemicals. Make sure that there is sufficient ventilation
where the processor is installed, i.e. air exchange that is at least ten times the
space volume per hour.
■Always comply with the installation instructions.
■Regularly check all connections to the processor for tightness.
■If liquid gets into the inside of the processor (due to spills), disconnect the pro-
cessor from the mains immediately and have the device cleaned thoroughly by
service personnel.
Safety compliance
■This processor complies with the safety regulations EN 60950: 1997 (IEC 950)
and EN 60601-1-2: 1993, UL 1950 and CSA C22.2 No. 950 and with
the regulations on radio interference suppression EN 50081-1, EN 55011 and
FCC 47 Part 15, Subchapter B, Class A.
■The non-return water connection system complies with DIN 1988.
