Changing the developer temperature control setpoint value
The developer temperature control is located on the left side of the
control panel.
1. Press and release the PGM button on the developer temperature
control.
The light to the left of the SP (setpoint) illuminates. The control is
now in the setpoint mode.
2. Change the developer temperature:
• Push and release the down arrow to lower the temperature.
• Push and release the up arrow to raise the temperature.
The amount of change to the setpoint is equal to the amount of
change to the developer temperature in degrees Celsius. For
example, increasing the developer temperature setpoint by 1.2 will
increase the developer temperature by approximately 1.2°C
(2.2°F).
To increase or decrease the developer temperature by 1°F,
increase or decrease the developer temperature setpoint by 0.56.
For each degree Fahrenheit (°F) of desired change, multiply by 0.56
and round to the nearest tenth.
For example, if the dial thermometer reads 98.5°F, an increase of
1.5°F is required to obtain 100°F. Multiply 1.5°F by 0.56 and you get
0.84
(1.5 x 0.56 = 0.84). Round 0.84 to the nearest tenth to get 0.8.
Therefore, to increase the developer temperature 1.5°F, you must
increase the developer temperature setpoint by 0.8.
3.Press and release the PGM button on the developer temperature
control to return to display mode.
The green light indicator to the left of the SP is no longer
illuminated. The current temperature is displayed.
The green light indictor illuminates when the temperature is at
the setpoint and flashes when the temperature is above the
setpoint. The light does not illuminate when the temperature
is below the setpoint.
This light can be used to determine when the temperature has
stabilized at the setpoint.
4. Wait 20 minutes between adjustments.
5. Lift up the processing section cover.
6. Read the developer temperature. If the temperature is not 37.8°C
±0.3°C (100°F ±0.5°F), repeat steps 1 through 6 until the
temperature stabilizes at the setpoint.
7. Close the processing section cover.
