Safety Instructions

To ensure the safe operation of this processor, installation and use should always conform to the instructions contained in this manual.

DThe developer and fixer chemicals used in the processor should be handled according to the manufacturers instructions. In general: Non-diluted chemicals are caustic. For this reason, chemicals should be handled very carefully. Avoid contact with skin, always wear protective clothing, gloves and glasses when handling the chemicals - for example, when mixing and refilling. Also when taking the racks out for cleaning or servicing. In case of chemicals getting into the eyes, rinse eyes immediately with cold, running water for approximately 15 minutes, and contact a doctor afterwards. Inhalation of chemicals can be dangerous to your health and should be avoided. For this reason, always ensure that the room in which the processor is installed is adequately ventilated.

Environmental regulations regarding the storage and disposal of waste chemicals should be obtained from the local water authorities and complied with.

Before opening the processor switch off the unit and unplug it from the electrical socket. Service and repairs must be performed by trained service technicians only. Use only manufacturers replacement parts.

COMPACT 2

3. Connecting the processor

Water connection: Fit water-inlet hose (grey) at the rear of the machine and connect to the prepared fresh water supply.

All other hoses (see diagram ): Connect the enclosed hoses according to colour system to backside of machine. Put hose clip (enclosed in accessory bag) over hose end, before attaching to connection. Warm up hose end (with hot water or lighter) and push onto the respective connection. Finally push clip over hose and connection.

Cut hoses to required length. Integrate the stop cocks into the drainage hoses in such a position, that they are easy to reach.

Connect the suction pipes to the hose ends for the replenishment tanks using hose clips. Put suction pipes through cover opening into respective replenishment tanks and snap them in.

The overflow and drainage hoses from the developer and fixer should be guided into their respective collecting containers.

The overflow and the drainage of the water can either be guided into the drainage syphon or into respective collection containers.

Initial Operation

Danger of Overflow!

Use the included cable binders (accessory bag) to secure the hoses. Fix all hose ends which guide into syphon or collecting container, so that they do not drop into the liquid.

Very important:

The hose piping should be straight (without the hoses going up and down) with a constant fall. The hoses should be as short as possible and without bends and kinks. This is very important for the water overflow hose. Bad piping work will cause the machine to overflow!

Inform yourself of the local water board regulations regarding drainage. These regulations may differ from information in this manual, but they should be complied with.

Initial Operation

Levelling of machine: Place machine in working position and level with spirit level. To do this, take off machine cover and place spirit level across the two intermediary rinsing channels. Level machine by adjusting the feet on the table legs. Accurate levelling is essential to avoid possible overflows at a later point in time.

Connect power cord: Lay power cord so that it will not be tripped over and not be bent or frayed. If an extension cord is required use only cords that have been approved for usage with respective current.

1. Test run

Important! Processor should not be run dry!

a. Close the three drainage stop cocks (front and rear). Fill the developer- and

fixertank and also the replenishment containers with water. Open water inflow tap. Switch the machine on at the main switch. Water now flows into water tank.

b. The circulation pump runs after switching on the machine and ventilates itself.

If this does not occur, switch the machine off again. Open the stop cock of the respective chemical for five seconds and close it afterwards again. Switch the machine on again. Repeat this procedure until the pump is ventilated.

c. Before filling with chemicals, check all hose connections again for leakage.

Switch machine off and drain water out.

2. Fill processor with chemicals

Prepare chemicals inside the replenishment containers according to manufacturers instructions. By using a suitable container, pour chemicals into the respective tanks.

When filling, be sure that chemicals do no splash from one bath into another. Fixer chemicals destroy developer chemicals! Depending on the chemical type add starter solution. Place the floating cover into developer replenishment container. Close container cover firmly and insert the suction tubes. Pay attention to the colours:

Red = Developer, Blue = Fixer.

8 COMPACT 2

Mode of Operation

The processor develops, fixes, rinses and dries your films. The temperatures, speed and replenishment rates required for processing various types of film-materials can be individually selected and stored in the microprocessor control unit.

Automatic filling and heating

When the machine is switched on, the water tank fills and chemical baths heat up automatically. During this procedure the display shows two serifs “--” and the developer temperature button blinks until the set temperature has been reached. The two serifs show the operator, that the machine is not yet ready for processing. Once the set temperature is reached, the machine is ready for processing. The developer button no longer blinks.

Stand-by mode

After a film has been processed, the machine automatically switches to the standby mode during which the bath temperatures are maintained. The bath temperature is maintained. The built-in circulation pumps ensure that the bath liquids are circulated and the temperature is evenly maintained and constant. Every 20 minutes an anti-crystallisation programme starts to rotate the rollers, which avoids the building up of aggressive crystals on the rollers within the machine. During very long standby periods, and after a set time, the control unit activates a replenishment cycle to avoid oxidation of the chemicals in the machine (time replenishment).

Film registration

The special impulse-reflex-lightbarrier for film registration has been constructed in such a manner that even infrared sensitive films are not exposed. When a film is fed in, the lightbarrier starts the machine.

Automatic replenishment

The quality of the developer and fixer chemicals is reduced when films run through the baths and for this reason a regular replenishment of the chemicals is necessary. By means of the lightbarrier, the film surface of processed films is measured. After approx. 0.25 m During this cycle, chemicals are pumped up from the replenishment containers into the machine. The replenishment quantity can be adjusted by setting the replenishment rate.

of film has passed through, a replenishment cycle is activated.

Operation

Switching the Machine On

Before switching the machine on, open the fresh water tap and close the water drainage tap (under control panel). Then switch the machine on (main switch is situated under the control panel). Once the machine is switched on, a “Start-cycle” of eight minutes duration is activated: A replenishment cycle is carried out, the water tank fills automatically and the chemical baths heat up. During this “Start-cycle” no films can be fed into the machine. The display shows two bars “– –” when the processor is not ready and no films can be fed in. This is the case during the “start-cycle” and also when the baths have not reached the temperature. Until the developer temperature is not reached, the developer temperature button (5) is flashing. It is possible that the chemical bath has not reached the required temperature even after the “Start-cycle” has been completed. You need to wait until the developer temperature is reached, before inserting films. Wait until the bars “– –” disappear from the display.

Automatic Mode

After completion of the “Start-cycle” and after a film-processing, the machine automatically goes into the stand-by mode. In the stand-by mode the processor can be started at any time by placing a film into infeed tray. Note that films can only be processed when the developer temperature is reached. When the display shows two bars “– –” no films can be fed into the machine. The temperature in the bath is too high or too low. However, when a film was fed into the machine, two bars with decimal points “–. –.“. To avoid a jamming of films wait before feeding the next film in until this display disappears (which is also signaled by an acoustic sound).

A film in the infeed-tray is registered by the light barrier and the machine starts up. The film is pulled into the machine and transported through the developer, fixer and water baths. The remaining time of processing i.e. until the film finally leaves the machine is displayed, when no more film is in the infeed-tray and the processing time button was pressed. Each working-parameter can be called up on the display by pressing the respective mode-button, however, during processing, parameters cannot be altered. The temperatures of the developer and dryer are automatically regulated. The replenishment rate of developer and fixer chemicals is activated according to the processed film-surface (film-surface measurement). Before a film is passed on from the developer bath into the fixer bath, it is rinsed with clean water which minimises pollution of the fixer chemicals with developer chemicals. The film is then dried in the dryer before passing out of the machine and falling into the catch tray. The machine then goes into the stand-by mode. To keep the machine in working condition during the stand-by mode, the electronics have been furnished with two specialities: The Anticrystalisation Function and the Time Replenishment.

Anticrystalisation Function

During the stand-by mode, the film transport, the dryer ventilation and the water inflow are activated every 20 minutes for a period of 15 seconds. This prevents the build-up of crystals on the rollers. This function cannot be switched off.

12 COMPACT 2

Operation

Time Replenishment (Antioxidation function, Flood replishment)

Also during the stand-by, the developer chemicals are subject to change which causes their deterioration. By means of the time replenishment, a replenishment cycle is activated after a set time. With this function, the quality of the developer chemicals are maintained even when standing idle for long periods. The setting-range for the time-replenishment is from 5 up to 99 minutes. When “0” is set, the time-replenishment is de-activated.

Setting of time-replenishment:

1. Switch processor off.

2. Press the buttons processing speed (4) and replenishment time developer (7) simultaniously and keep pressed.

3. Switch the machine on again and release the pressed buttons.

4. Select the replenishment interval time (min.) by pressing the arrow buttons (2 and 3). The arrow up button (2) increases and the arrow down button (3) decreases the value.

5. Switch machine off again.

Example: At the setting “45” a replenishment cycle is activated every 45 minutes.

COMPACT 2

Operation

Processing time

The processing time, is the time, it takes the front end of a film from the infeed of the processor until it reaches the film exit. The processing time is set by the speed with which the film is transported through the machine. Depending on the requirements, this time can be varied from 1 to 5 minutes adjusted in 0.1-minute-steps (Adjusting the processing time: see page 13 “Setting the working parameters”).

Processing and developer time relation

Processing time (min) Developer time (s) Infeed speed (cm/min)

Developer temperature

The developer temperature of the different film-materials depends on the developing time. The faster a film has to be developed, the higher the temperature must be. The developer temperature can be set between 28-40 °C according to the individual requirements (Setting the developer temperature: see page 13 “Setting the 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.

Processing time and developer temperature relation

Processing time “Dry to Dry” (min s) Developer temperature(°C)

1,0 34 - 36 2,0 32 - 34 3,0 30 - 32 4,0 29 - 30 5,0 28 - 29

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 page 13 “Setting the working parameters”).

Remark: certain circumstances not be reached.

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 are 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 time can be varied from 3-60 seconds.

1. Press buttons 4 and 5 “Enter Memory” simultaneously to enter the memory mode (see diagram on page 17).

2. Press several times the button 3 “Select” until the display will show “L.0”(Lock off input unlocked) or “L.1” (Lock on: input locked).

3. Now by pressing one of the buttons 4 or 5 change the display: “L.0” if you want to unlock the input or “L.1” if you want to lock the input.

4. To finalize the changes press button 6 “Exit”.

Please note: Even when the input lock is activated it is possible to recall (previously stored) procesing parameters of the memory-function.

Important: Please note, if input is locked via lock function, then processing parameters cannot be stored - when trying to do this, an error message “LO” will be displayed.
