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.

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.

Mode of Operation
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.

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.
12COMPACT 2

Page 13
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.

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)
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)
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.

2.Run 2 - 3 cleaner films through processor to remove all accumulated dirt and
dust from the rollers.
3.Check the liquid level in the replenishment containers and if necessary refill.
After use...
•When working has been completed at the end of the day, the water must be
drained out of the machine. This reduces the growth of algae in the water
bath. For that purpose open the water drainage stop cock (see page 7 bot-
tom).
Attention:Do not let any liquid drop inside the processor or
run over the control.Liquids may cause damage to the processor.
®
Weekly Care
The developer chemicals cause residue build-up in the machine. This residue has
a negative effect on the developing process of the film material. For this reason the
processor has to be regularly cleaned of this residue.
Do a weekly clean of the roller racks, which only takes a few minutes.
1.Switch machine off and remove cover.
2.Loosen the securing latches (red, blue and beige) of the drive shafts of each
roller rack at the right side.
3.Rinse all racks thoroughly under warm running water and then leave to drain
off. Use a soft sponge (do not use scouring-pad, as this would scratch the rollers!) and remove the pollution from the rollers. During this procedure, the rollers can be turned by turning the drive shaft.
4.Wipe the infeed-roller-pair (first roller-pair of developer rack) dry.
5.Replace the racks: Red = Developer, Blue = Fixer. Beige = Washing/Drying.
Ensure that the racks are firmly installed and do not forget to close the securing latches on the drive shafts.
6.Replace machine cover and ensure it is securely closed.
7.Clean processor outer casing with damp cloth. Do not use aggressive cleaners or solvents.
Please note:
When removing the Rinsing / Drying roller-rack, ensure that no
water gets into the film dryer air channel.

Care
Thorough Cleaning
Depending on the quantity of films processed, a thorough cleaning is necessary
every 3 - 6 months. Tank cleaners are available for developer and water baths. The
fixer bath is cleaned with water. When preparing chemical tank cleaners, follow
manufacturers instructions explicitly.
How to proceed:
1.Switch the machine off and empty all tanks by opening the stop cocks.
Attention! Machine will not drain off, if it is swichted on.
2.Remove machine cover. When all tanks are emptied, close stop cocks again.
Now fill the fixer-tank with water. Prepare cleaner solutions for developer and
water baths and fill into respective tanks.
3.Remove suction pipes from the replenishment containers and place them in a
water filled bucket. Attention! Do not add chemical cleaners here!
4.Close machine cover and switch machine on.
5.Start film transport (see “Manual starting and stopping the film transport:” on
page 16) and keep running for 10 to 20 minutes. During this the installed roller
racks will be cleaned.
6.Important: After completion of tank cleaning, the tank should be rinsed thoroughly with clean water. To do this, fill the machine with fresh water twice and
each time, let the machine run for a 10 minute period. Empty the tanks and reclose the stop cocks.
7.Take out the roller-racks and rinse them thoroughly with running water.
Remove remaining dirt from the rollers by using a sponge and clean thoroughly. Doing this, the rollers can be turned by turning the drive shaft. Wipe
the infeed-roller-pair (first roller-pair of developer rack) dry. Replace the racks.
8.Refill the tanks with respective chemicals. This can be done by hand or automatically (see “Autofill Function” on page 16). Replace the suction pipes into
the replenisher containers. In certain circumstances the circulation system
must be ventilated: see “1. Test run” on page 8 item b).
9.For quality check, process test films.

Before you go on holiday...
or in the event that your processor will not be in use for longer than two weeks, all
the chemicals have to be emptied out of the tanks. In case you don't want to do a
complete tank cleaning at once, then fill the tanks after emptying, with water.
Attention: Do not use alcohol containing solvents to clean the
machine!
Colour changes in the containers are caused by the properties
of the chemicals and no cause for concern!

1Algae
1.1 Excessive algae growth in water tank
Algae growth inside the water tank is not only anoying, it causes increased cleaning
work and leaves residue on the films. When algae growth increases, countermeasures are in demand:
•When work has been completed at the end of the day, drain water out of the
machine.
•Clean dryer-water rack regularly. Use soft sponge and soap to remove residue from the rollers.
•Install a particle filter system in the fresh water supply for the processor.
•If no other solutions can be found, then usage of Anti-Algae-Agents can be a
great improvement (automatic dispensers work the best). However, it is
known that cleaning agents containing chlorine may corrode rubber rollers
and high-grade steel in the tank area (check before use).

between pin 3 (green) and pin 2 (brown). The value should read 0.32 V at a
temperature of 32 °C.
•Enter dryer temperature of 35 °C. Check voltage of X12 on power PCB. If no
voltage can be registered - exchange control unit.
7.6 Dryer temperature cannot be reached or is too high
(display shows values approx. 30 °C and 75 °C)
•Check temperature sensor. Sensor is either not connected or defective.
®
8Water
8.1 Rinsing water does not flow, ventilation runs
•Water pressure in the water system is too low: Minimum pressure 2 bar
(29 psi).
•Valve activates, no flow passage - filter at inflow is blocked.
•Check solenoid valve.
8.2 Water tank overflows
•Water drainage hose (overflow) should have a constant fall. The hose end
should be positioned above the drainage level in the syphon.›‹›
•Check water drainage in the tank and hose for blockage and pollution.
•When extreme algae growth is noticed, the overflow can be connected
directly at the back of the water tank.

COMPACT 2 NDT
Order No. 1193 - X - Y000

The Film Processor Compact 2 series was extended by a further version.
Introduction
Processing time and developer temperature of the Compact 2 NDT processor have
been adjusted to the requirements of NDT-films. This results in the following modifications compared with the Compact 2 standard processor.
General
To maintain constantly good film quality the NDT-roller (upper roller of first roller
pair of fixer rack) has to be changed every 3 - 6 months, depending on the quantity
of films processed, the chemicals and films used. Three replacement rollers are delivered together with each machine. These rollers are subject to wear and tear and
therefore excluded from the warranty!
Important!
Please take care that the film does not carry any dirt into the
processor.
