4.1.11 Developer temperature

The developer temperature of the different film-materials depends on the developing time. The faster a
film must be developed, the higher the temperature must be. The developer temperature can be set
between 26-40 °C according to the individual requirements (setting the developer temperature: see
"4.1.9 working parameters"). If the temperature is lower or higher than the set value, then the bath
temperature button (5) is flashing and the display shows two bars "– –". Before feeding
a film into the machine, wait until the temperature has been reached and the displayed bars "– –"
disappear.
The following chart demonstrates guide value relations between developer temperatures and
processing times. Variations are possible depending on the various films and chemicals.
Total processing time (min(s))

4.1.12 Dryer temperature

The dryer temperature can be adjusted within a range of 35-70 °C according to the different film-
materials. To avoid dryer spots on the film, the dryer temperature may not be set too high. Adjust the
temperature so that the film just gets dry (setting the dryer temperature: see "4.1.9 Working
Parameters").
Remark: Depending on mains voltage dryer temperatures above 65°C may under certain circumstances
not be reached.
CAUTION!
High or low room temperature can influence the function of the film
processor. If the ambient temperature exceeds the set bath temperature, the
image quality may deteriorate.

4.1.13 Replenishment time

The replenishment of the developer and fixer chemicals is automatic. By means of the light barrier
electronic at the film-infeed, the surface of the processed films is calculated and after 0.25 m² a
replenishment cycle is automatically activated. The replenishment quantity can be adjusted varying for
developer and fixer by adjusting the replenishment time. The replenishment time may be set in a range
of 0-60 s.
