Page 18: Use The Options In Standby Mode
Use the Options in Standby Mode The film processor has anti-oxidation and anti-crystallization cycles. During Standby mode, the film processor rotates the transport and starts the wash at regular intervals to prevent crystallization (anti-crystallization) on the rollers. At programmable time intervals, anti-oxidation activates a replenishment cycle to prevent oxidation of the chemicals. -
Page 19: Use The Manual Replenishment Cycle
Use the Manual Replenishment Cycle There may be times, such as cleaning, when you need to run the replenishment cycle manually. 1. Press button 5, and then select Rep. 2. Select Rep 1 for replenishment tank 1. This adds 100 ml. The Off indicator changes to On, indicating that the replenishment pump is working. -

Press button 3 to access the setup mode. 2. Press button 6 to move the cursor to Options, and press button 7 to and select Options. 3. -
Page 22: Automatic Developer And Fixer Tank Fill
Automatic Developer and Fixer Tank Fill This feature automatically corrects low-level conditions in the developer and fixer chemical tanks with the use of additional level switch monitoring circuits. If any tank “low level“ sensor is present and activated, a replenishment cycle will inject solution (**XXml**) into the chemical tanks until the correct tank level is reached. -
Page 23: Systems
System s Tempering The film processor features an indirect tempering system to maintain the processing solution temperatures accurately and efficiently. This system is integrated with recirculation, offers more efficiency, and saves energy. The control panel activates the circulation pumps and the tempering unit. The circulation pumps mix the chemicals to ensure even temperatures throughout the tank. -

Bus System Measures the temperature in Actions Temperature probe Developer and fixer Heating and cooling Dryer Heating Cooling water in Monitoring Sensor bar Incoming film area Replenishment Ventilation A ventilation device prevents crystallization and humidity inside the housing of the film processor. It is required to connect the exhaust port to an external exhaust device to prevent any possible film deposits or corrosion inside the film processor and improves the drying efficiency. -
Page 25: Chemical Replenishment
Chemical Replenishment When photographic material is processed, the chemical components of the processing solutions release by-products in the processing solutions. Replenisher solutions are formulated to restore the chemical to its original activity and to dilute the products to an acceptable level. It is, therefore, necessary to add the correct amount of replenisher for material that has been processed. -
Page 26: Infrared Sensor Bar
Infrared Sensor Bar The automatic replenishment system uses an infrared sensor bar to detect the incoming film area. With that information, the CPU for the film processor calculates the replenishment rate. It is important to keep the entrance rollers clean and dry and to avoid chemical or water spills on the feed tray, feed rollers, and sensor bar. Spills must be cleaned immediately. -
