INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
• If you measured more than the recommended volume of developer replenishment solution, do the
following steps to decrease the rate of replenishment. See the Replenishment Rate Sheet in the front
pocket of your publications binder for the recommended volume of replenishment.
1. Check that the GRADUATED CYLINDER is empty.
2. Insert the DEVELOPER REPLENISHMENT CHECK TUBE into the GRADUATED CYLINDER.
3. Insert and remove a small sheet of film under the LEFT (MINUS) FILM SENSOR to the left side of
the FEED TRAY. Listen for the PROCESSOR to beep once indicating a decrease of 5 mL.
To make large changes in the replenishment rate, you may insert and remove a sheet of film from the
LEFT (MINUS) FILM SENSOR several times consecutively.
4. Again, insert and remove a small sheet of film under the MIDDLE FILM SENSOR three times.
5. Measure and record the volume of developer replenishment solution in the GRADUATED
CYLINDER.
6. Calculate the average measurement by dividing the total volume of replenishment solution by 3.
7. Empty the replenishment solution from the GRADUATED CYLINDER.
8. Again, compare your recorded average of developer replenishment solution to the recommended
volume listed in the Replenishment Rate Sheet in the front pocket of your publications binder.
9. If the volume is above the recommended volume by more than 3 mL, continue decreasing the
replenishment rate as necessary.
Note
Any time you adjust the replenishment rate, you are adjusting the replenishment volume for both the developer and
fixer. The replenishment rates for the developer and fixer are proportional and cannot be changed by this procedure.
Each time you increase or decrease the replenishment rate by inserting and removing a sheet of film under either the
RIGHT (PLUS) FILM SENSOR or LEFT (MINUS) FILM SENSOR, you are changing both replenishment rates by
approximately 5 mL.
[10] Check that the DEVELOPER REPLENISHMENT CHECK TUBE is pushed down into the DEVELOPER
TANK.
[11] Insert the FIXER REPLENISHMENT CHECK TUBE into the 500 mL GRADUATED CYLINDER.
[12] Insert and remove a small sheet of film under the MIDDLE FILM SENSOR three times.
• Do not allow the sheet of film to touch the RIGHT (PLUS) FILM SENSOR or the LEFT (MINUS) FILM
SENSOR.
• The PROCESSOR will beep twice to acknowledge the request for replenishment.
• The replenishment system will deliver the predetermined volume of solution into the GRADUATED
CYLINDER.
Note
The PROCESSOR is set up to pump the preset volume of developer and fixer replenishment solution for a 35 x 43 cm
(14 x 17 in.) sheet of film.
[13] Measure and record the volume of fixer replenishment solution in the GRADUATED CYLINDER.
[14] Calculate the average measurement by dividing the volume of fixer replenishment solution in the
GRADUATED CYLINDER by 3.
[15] Empty the GRADUATED CYLINDER.
[16] Push the FIXER REPLENISHMENT CHECK TUBE down into the FIXER TANK.
[17] Calculate the ratio of fixer replenishment to developer replenishment by dividing the volume of fixer
replenishment you obtained in the GRADUATED CYLINDER by the volume of developer replenishment you
obtained.
