Operating Controls
POWER SWITCH (Amber)
When the POWER switch is turned
ON it will illuminate, indicating
that there is power to the proces-
sor and the heating system is on.
Turn the POWER switch OFF at
the end of the day. See Figure
6A.
TEMPERATURE READY LIGHT
(Green)/PROCESS SWITCH.
When chemistry reaches its fac-
tory pre-set processing tempera-
ture of 75°F, the READY light
flashes, then remains steady,
indicating that chemistry is at
processing temperature.
Processing is initiated by turning
the PROCESS switch ON.
After processing, the PROCESS
switch is turned OFF. The Peri-
Pro remains ready to process film
as long as the POWER switch is
left in the ON position and the
green READY light is illuminated.
See Figure 6B
REFILL ACCESS DOOR
This door must be closed when
processing film. It is closed when it
latches, or snaps, shut. See Figures
1 and 5.
FILM INLET SHUTTER
When the shutter is slid to the right,
it latches in place. Films drop into
the transport and begin processing
automatically when the transport
arms move into position and the
shutter opens. New batches of film
can be processed every 55 seconds.
REFILL ACCESS DOOR
Open the refill access door when
changing and refilling water, and
to check chemistry levels at the
start of the day.

6
OPERATION
1. Before processing film, open the refill access door to determine whether chemistry in the
developer and fixer tanks are at the Fill Line level as indicated on the inside of the refill
access door. If not, top with water to the Fill Line. Close the refill access door.
2. Turn the POWER switch ON. The amber light illuminates, indicating that there is power to the
processor, the heating system is on and the chemistry is being heated. Chemistry heats at a rate
of about 1°F every two to three minutes. For example: chemistry initially at 65°F will reach set
point (75°F) in about 25 minutes.
3. When the chemistry is within 1°F of the pre-set processing temperature, the TEMPERATURE
READY/PROCESS light flickers. When the light remains steady, the factory pre-set temperature
has been reached and the Peri-Pro III is ready to process film. Only process film when the
TEMPERATURE READY/PROCESS light is on.
4. Turn the PROCESS switch ON. (There is no visual indication, only an audible motor sound and
warm air blowing out of the air outlet grill when processor is in the PROCESS mode.) Insert
film into the film inlet and slide the shutter to the right until it latches. Film is automatically
processed. A new batch of film can be processed every 55 seconds.
Use the handy removable trash receptacle when stripping covers off lm.
The trash receptacle is especially useful when using a Daylight Loader.
Processing #2 (Adult) Films.
#2 films can be fed directly into the processor
Duplicating lms exposed in the Peri-Pro Film Duplicator/Daylight Loader are
processed in the same manner as regular lms.
Processing Film
Note: I a lm is bent, straighten it.
c. As soon as the shutter moves back into the original closed position, the next batch of films
may be loaded into the inlet slots and the process repeated.
d. When the last films to be processed are loaded, place the inlet cover over the film inlet. The
inlet cover prevents film fogging due to light leaks. If a Daylight Loader is being used, put the
inlet cover in place before hands are removed from the cuffs.
Note: The inlet cover comes installed on the grill inlet.
e. When films have completed the processing cycle, they are delivered into the film delivery
receptacle.
a. Strip the cover off a periapical film and place it into any of the
eight slots of the inlet grill. All 8 slots can be loaded at the same
time if required. Do not put two films into the same slot.
b. Slide the shutter to the right until it latches. The films drop into
the transport and begin processing when the transport arms
automatically move into position and the shutter opens.
Figure 9
Note: With dividers in place in the lm receptacle, the four compartments
correspond to slots I & 2, 3 & 4, 5 & 6, 7 & 8 of the lm inlet grill.
The dividers separate sets of lm pairs.

OPERATION
b. Insert the carrier into slots 3 and 6 in the film
inlet. Make sure the edges of the film(s) clear
the side walls of the film inlet.
c. Slide the shutter to the right until it latches. The
carrier will drop into the transport and processing
begins when the shutter automatically opens.
Processing #4 (Occlusal) Films
a. Strip the cover off one #4 film and carefully
bend almost in half. Slide the film into the carrier,
making sure both edges of the film are held in
place by the guide tabs. Remove film inlet grill.
#0 and #1 films cannot be fed directly into the processor. These films fit into
corresponding # carriers (supplied with the processor), each of which carries the
film through the processing cycle. Up to six #0 or #1 films can be loaded into
corresponding carriers at one time.
Processing #0 (Pedo) or #1 (Adult Anterior) Films.
Figure 10
Figure 11
#0
#1
#3
#4
a. To load #0 or #1 film into the corresponding # carrier,
nest the carrier inside the tabs on the cover, next to the
inlet grill.
b. Strip the cover off the film(s) and slide the film(s) vertically,
one at a time, into any of the six grooves on the carrier.
Push down firmly until the film touches the cover. Repeat
until as many grooves as required are filled. The films
should be standing vertically and parallel to each other,
away from the center bar. Make sure that each film on the
carrier is in its own groove.
c. Remove the film inlet grill. (Remember to replace it when processing #2 films.) Insert the
carrier, with the film(s) standing vertically, into the film inlet.
d. Slide the shutter to the right until it latches. The carrier will drop into the transport and
begin processing when the shutter automatically opens.
Processing #3 (Bite-Wing) Films
#3 lms cannot be fed directly into the processor. Use a #3 carrier that holds two
lms at a time.
a. Strip the cover off one or two #3 film(s) and slide the film(s) horizontally, one at a time,
through both side plates of the #3 carrier. Remove film inlet grill.
b. Place the carrier onto the film inlet with the orientation arrow (on the side of the carrier)
pointing down.
c. Slide the shutter to the right until it latches. The carrier will drop into the transport and
begin processing when the shutter automatically opens.
5. When processing is completed, turn the PROCESS switch OFF. The green READY light remains
lit. At the end of the day turn the POWER switch OFF. Both the green READY light and the
amber POWER light will extinguish.
To assure complete drying of processed # 4 films, a
manual assist may be needed,if so;
1. While the fan is blowing, hold the open end of the film
in the carrier directly over the dryer grille, about 1”- 2”
elevation is sufficient, and slowly pivot the carrier to
have warm air blow on the outer surface.
2. 30-60 seconds should be enough time to adequately
dry film.
3. Unload the dried film from the carrier when done.
