Processor Configuration and Setpoints
Setup information consistsof the filmprocessor configuration andall process setpoints. Setupinformation that was
preset for the processor at the factory is listed in the table below.
Setup information is stored in battery backed-up RAM (Random Access Memory). Therefore, you do not need to
program new values every time you turn the processor on. Even if power to the processor is interrupted or the
processor is turned off, you do not need to program the processor.
If you wish, you may adjust the setup information by using the soft keys on the display panel. See “Setting Up the
Processor” on Page 17. Thenew setupinformation will be retainedin memory even whenpower to the processoris
interrupted or the processor is turned off.

Basic Operating Characterstics
• Holding down a key will cause the key to toggle among all its possible options. For example, holding down the
[▲] key, will cause the temperature displayed to rapidly increase as long as the key is held down.
• When the processor is first turned on,the wash waterand drive motor run for approximately 4 minutesand then
turn off. The replenisher pumps also turn on when the processor is turned on.
• Depending upon which wiring procedure was followed during the installation, the exhaust fan may run all the
time, continuous mode, or only when the dryer blower motor is on, intermittent mode.
• If either developeror fixer solution evaporatedwhile the processor was off, the developer and fixer tanks willbe
automatically replenished to their overflow levels when the processor is again turned on.
• When the film accumulator senses film, it turns on the drive motor.
• To prevent thereplenisher pumps from pumping replenishmentsolutions when film is not being processed, film
area is only detected by the sensors if the film enters the detector rollers.
• The drive motor and replenisher pumps will operate only if the top cover is on the processor
• When both replenisher pumps are operating, the replenishment light on the display panel illuminates.
• The wash water drains whenever power to the processor is interrupted or the processor is turned off.
• On the feed end of the processor is a panel which indicates the selected operating cycle and the current
processor status. A dimmer is available to adjust the intensity of these indicator lights.

Calibrating the Replenishment System
Introduction
Calibrate the replenishment system every 3 months or whenever preventive maintenance is performed.
The operator calibrates thereplenishment systemfor allprocess cyclesin one operation. Calibrationdetermines the
actual rate of solution flow through the replenishment pumps. The operator will measure the volume of solution
pumped duringa setperiod of time, then use the display panel to enter the measurement into the microprocessor.
The microprocessor computes the rate of solution flow through the pump, then adjusts the period of time that the
pump must operate to deliver the replenishment rate set by the operator.
Note
The volume actually measured during calibration is not the volume delivered for a 35 x 43 cm sheet of film.
During replenishment calibration, the replenishment pumps are disabled from normal operation. However, the
replenishmentpumpswillcycle for approximately 3 seconds after a replenishment mode is selected. Whenthis cycle
is complete, the processor is ready for the next calibration cycle.
Procedure
