Functions
Function Description
Programming Automatic processing parameters, such as temperature, speed, and
replenishment rates, can be stored in nine different programs.
Warming up Once programmed, the temperature settings are accurately controlled.
Heating starts with switching on at the mains. Constant solution temperatures
are maintained in the processing tanks. Temperature tolerances of ±0.2 ˚C are
achieved by the microprocessor control unit. The solutions are circulated by the
circulation pumps. When the temperature reaches the pre-set levels, the film
processor enters Standby mode and is ready for use.
Standby Soon after the last film exits the dryer and with the infeed sensors clear, the film
processor automatically enters a Standby/Energy Saving mode. While in the
Standby mode, the film processor maintains the Production Ready status.
Anti-Crystallization Cycle During Standby mode and within a programmable cycle period, the transport and
intermediate rinse bath water supply are activated to prevent a build-up of
crystallization on the crossover rollers.
Anti-Oxidation Cycle During Standby mode and when no material is processed for a set time, a pre-
programmable anti-oxidation (replenishment) cycle is available to compensate for
the impact of oxidation of the chemicals during Standby mode. The chemical
levels in the tanks are increased, compensating for evaporation of the water in
the solutions during Standby mode.
Auto Replenishment Infrared sensors scan the film area without any direct contact to the film. After a
pre-programmed amount of film or a film area has entered the processor, a
replenishment cycle is activated.
Automatic Start-Stop Infrared sensors automatically control the start cycle of the film processor. The
processor changes from Standby to Run when a film interrupts the light barrier.
As the rollers turn, water is supplied to the wash tank and to the intermediate
rinse bath system. After the last film has passed through, the film processor
reverts to Standby. The film is then removed from the receiving and
collection tray.

dashes indicate the position of the media in the film processor. The wash and
crossover water flow only during a process cycle for water saving. Each film is
tracked while it is in the film processor. The software can track up to 70 films.
Two films running in parallel are tracked as one film. Tracking starts when the
film enters the infeed sensor bar.
The motor is on or off. The speed is 19 tach pulses. The number of pulse counts
from the tacho motor is 001.
