Operation
Switching on the machine
The processor is switched on at the main switch (front right). The developer bath
will be heated up. The LED flashes during the warm-up phase and no X-ray film
must be inserted into the machine during this time. When the machine is ready, a
acoustic signal is heard and the LED is on continuously.
Display "Infeeding film"
If films are fed into the processor without gap one after another, then this may cause
a film jam. The "Feeding film" LED flashes as long as a film is fed. Once the film has
been fed completely the LED is on continusouly. Additionally an acoustic signal in-
dicates that the next film can be inserted.
Both chemicals pumps - for fixer and developer - are driven in
parallel by only one motor and therefore always run simultane-
ously. The regeneration volumes for developer and fixer thus
are identical.
Anti-crystalisation function
During the stand-by mode, the film transport, the dryer ventilation, the dryer heating
and the water inflow are activated every 20 minutes for a period of 20 seconds. This
prevents the build-up of crystals on the rollers.
Anti-Oxidisation Function
Also during the stand-by, the developer chemicals are subject to change which
causes their deterioration. By means of the time replenishment, a replenishment cy-
cle is activated after 60 minutes without replenishment. The pump runs for
10 seconds. With this function, the quality of the developer chemicals are main-
tained even when standing idle for long periods.
Please note:
High or low room temperature can influence the function of the
film processor.
