Section 4: PROCESSOR Setup Options
Available Options
The PROCESSOR software allows for 4 optional setups. Typically, the optional setups are configured at the time of
installation, but they may be changed at any time by qualified service personnel.
[1] Normal or Flooded Replenishment
The PROCESSOR is factory set to the normal replenishment mode. In normal replenishment mode, the
replenishment is based on:
• film area as detected by the 3 FILM SENSORS in the M43 and M43A PROCESSORS
• length of film detected by the 3 FILM SENSORS in the Clinic 1 PROCESSOR
Flooded replenishment mode is intended for sites processing low volumes of film, see the Replenishment Rate
Sheet Publication Number 1C0578. Using the flooded replenishment mode may also be beneficial if you are
experiencing difficulty in maintaining a stable chemical process because of low volume or erratic film usage.
In the flooded replenishment mode, every 24 minutes the PROCESSOR pumps the preset volume of
replenishment solutions to process the equivalent of one 35 x 43 cm (14 x 17 in.) sheet of film.
[2] Celsius or Fahrenheit Developer Temperature Display Units
(Models M43 and M43A Only)
The PROCESSOR can display degrees Celsius °C or degrees Fahrenheit °F. The PROCESSOR is factory set
to display the developer temperature in degrees Celsius.
[3] Standby Mode or Continuous Mode
The PROCESSOR is factory set for the standby mode. In standby mode the drive system, DRYER BLOWER,
and DRYER HEATER remain de-energized until a film is fed. Standby mode conserves both electricity and
water consumption and minimizes wear on the parts. Most installations should operate the PROCESSOR in
standby mode.
You may, however, want to change to the continuous mode if the PROCESSOR is set up in the following
conditions:
• low ambient conditions - normally below 18°C (65°F)
• low voltage conditions - close to the lower end of the specified range
• high usage installation
• diagnostic mode - service personnel diagnosing a problem
[4] Low or Continuous Water Usage Mode
The PROCESSOR is factory set for Continuous Water Usage Mode. In this mode, water runs at one litre per
minute. This allows fresh water to circulate through the PROCESSOR and prevent biological growth. If
biological growth is not a concern, the PROCESSOR may be set to Low Water Usage Mode.
Note
In the U.K., check that specific water usage requirements are met.
The 3 optional setups can only be configured by qualified service personnel. To change the factory settings for any
of the 3 optional setups, do the procedure for changing the options starting on Page 36.
