SPLITGRADE USER’S MANUAL V3.4 9
Features
SPLITGRADE is an electronic instrument intended to control the exposures
and the contrast range of variable contrast papers (VC) during enlarging.
By printing the picture in two steps using maximum filter setting for
yellow and magenta, print results are greatly improved.
The contrast range of variable contrast papers will be perfectly matched
to the given contrast range of the negative.
The characteristics of various variable contrast papers from AGFA,
AMALOCO, BERGGER, FORTE, FOMA, ILFORD, KENTMERE,
KODAK, MOERSCH,TETENAL and ORIENTAL are already stored in
the SPLITGRADE controller unit or could be added to the basic
calibration set.
The composition and evaluation of the picture takes place under white
light.
The exposure time and the grade are calculated after a scan of the pro-
jected negative. The scan is supported by acoustic and optical signals.
The darkest and the brightest spot detected determine the result.
The exposure time and paper grade are automatically adapted, also if
another paper type is selected after measurement.
At any time the user might override the calculated values or just set the
exposure time and paper grade without using the probe.
Without an automatic filter module or light source, SPLITGRADE can be
used as a high quality B&W analyser and exposure meter.
The focus light will be automatically switched OFF after 5 minutes.
The firmware is easily updated by a free download from our homepage.
To do so, you need a PC with Windows, OS X or Linux operating
system. If you own an older controller (serial no. starts with 02... or 03...
you will need an additional USB-Serial converter to connect the serial
interface of the controller to an USB port of the computer.
SPLITGRADE is the comprehension of our practical experience
acquired for more than 25 years
Conclusion
The usage of the SPLITGRADE system enables the production of high
quality prints and fine art prints, with a speed and comfort never reached
before by any other system.
As this printing system greatly improves printing efficiency, while saving
time, chemistry and paper, every photographer will have much more time for
creative printing.

THE QUICK PATH TO HIGH QUALITY PRINTS
In order to profit from the SPLITGRADE system very quickly, please proceed
as follows:
Preparation
Connect the controller following the safety advice on page 10.
Use a paper and matching chemistry as indicated on page 7 of this
manual using only fresh paper and chemistry.
Do not use old paper or used chemistry.
Switch on the controller.
If the filter module and the probe are connected properly, the controller
displays the following information for a short while:
1. Software release
2. Type of enlarger
Next after the display will look similar like that:
After power on: Offset values KY and KM of filter module
After first key is pressed: Temporary offsets by the user
If you like to change the paper type, move the cursor to P: by pressing
the or button.
Start the selection of the paper type by pressing the or
button. Each time you press the button, another paper brand will
appear. Continue pressing or simply hold the “+” or “-“ button until your
preferred paper is displayed. Accept the selection by pressing the
button .

Printing
Put the negative into the negative carrier.
Switch on focus light by pressing the button
The following display appears:
Set up the magnification and focus the image. Then stop down the f-
stop of the enlarger lens.
Measurement is always done at working f-stop.
Place the probe into any part of the projected image, taking care that
the green window on top of the photo sensor is not covered.
Start the measuring procedure by briefly pressing the red button on the
probe, An intermittent signal sounds and you will have the following
display:
Move the probe over the projected image while looking for the darkest
and the brightest areas until the signal stops. Maximum probe
movement velocity is 5cm/sec, which is similar to the movement of a
computer mouse. The displayed contrast will increase.
We recommend not to measure very small spots like lamps and candle
lights, as their contribution is not important for the overall impression of
the print but can falsify the measurement resulting in a too soft grade.
No sound for a longer time indicates that the scan is complete. To stop
the measurement, press the red button on the sensor again.

If the beeper sounds 3 times, please check the display and refer to the
detailed description in chapter "Warnings".
After a successful measurement put the paper on the enlarging easel
and start the exposure by pressing the button.
Process the paper.
Result
The lightest and darkest portions of the negative, which have been
measured, result in about 90% of the max. density and a light grey print
tone. This is what we call a technical correct print. It will satisfy your
requirements for a good start in most cases.
MANUAL CHANGES
To modify the print according to your taste in art, you may either change the
grade and or the exposure time temporary with the buttons or . The
modifications are displayed in the first line of the LCD, so you might return at
any time to the original values. A new measurement overrides the changes.
Changing the exposure time
Move the cursor to position Time: to make the print lighter or darker.
Factory setting affects changes in steps of1/10 f-stop, re calculating the
exposure time considering the reciprocity failure.
To change that default setting to a linear change in units of seconds please
refer to chapter ‘user preferences’.
Changing the grade
Move the cursor to position Grad: and modify the contrast in steps of 1/10
grade. The exposure time will be adjusted automatically to achieve constant
lights, mid grey or shadows –what ever you set in the user preferences.

WARNINGS DURING MEASUREMENT
Out of range failures during or after measuring will be announced by a 3
beep signal and displayed as follows:
The intensity is too bright for the light sensor.
Close f-stop and start measuring again
The intensity is too low for the sensor. Open the
f-stop and start measuring again
Calculated exposure time is too long, open the f-
stop and start measuring again
The exposure time is too short, close the f-stop
and start measuring again
The measured contrast is out of the ISO-R range
of the selected paper. If you proceed, the print
may loosen details, because the paper grade
could not get less 00 or more than 5.
Another reason might be, that you covered the
light sensor or you moved it outside the negative
(e.g. to the base plus fog area) while measuring. This results also in a large
contrast.

FURTHER MEASUREMENT MODES
To adapt the system best to your needs, there are two more modes
available. To select the proper mode switch on the Focus light , then press
button
Multipoint mode and density measurement
This mode enables a more individual scan, as the measurement is active
only when you press or hold the red button in the sensor. So you might
continue the measurement in a different area of the print.
First place the sensor at the lightest point of the negative with details, then
press the red button of the sensor for about half a second. You will get a
display like this:
The 3rd line displays the density in
reference to this first point, the last line
displays the contrast that is taken into
calculation for the paper grade. To check
the density of other areas in the negative
simply move the probe to these points
and read density in line 3. To consider the selected point for the paper grade
calculation, press the red button of the probe for a short while. You may also
measure larger areas while moving the probe and simultaneously holding
down the red button.
To calculate the exposure, release the red button and press .
Time measurement
If there is a lack of black and/or white
tones in the negative, you might select
time measurement. According to the
setting of the reference point (refer to
chapter ‘User preferences’) the system
calculates the exposure times to achieve
at the measured point(s) either
- lights with small details
- mid grey
- 90% maximum density selected
The paper grade is not modified by the measurement and might be preset
before or altered after the measurement.

Same tone range for different enlargement scales
If you like to get the same tonal range for pictures of different magnification,
you should always select the same points while measuring.
If you clip a part of the negative and the darkest and the brightest points are
not situated in the area to be printed, please measure also outside the
baseboard to secure correct reference values for calculation of the paper
grade and the exposure time.

SPLITGRADE USER’S MANUAL V3.4 19
BURN-IN FUNCTIONS
Your SPLITGRADE has a very useful burn-in function. It enables you to
store up to 7 independent burn-in times, thus building up an exposure
sequence together with the main exposure time. The main exposure is
automatically followed by the burn-in exposure.
Activation and Setting
To enter the menu with the burn in functions, press the key several times.
If the controller is in the main menu, you need to press that key only once.
In line 1 (T0) the calculated (main) exposure time and grade are listed.
If you change these values, please pay attention to the fact that the time and
grade in menu 1 are also altered accordingly.
To select the time or grade of a burn in time move the cursor to the entry by
pressing the or button until the cursor appears in the desired position.
The display toggles automatically between Times 0 to 3 and 4 to 7 while
moving the cursor.
Altering the values of the time and grade is done by pressing or
By pressing both keys simultaneous, you alter the mode of the burn in time,
which is actually marked by the cursor. You may decide if the time should be
independent of the main exposure (in the above example T1 and T3) or
should be adapted to the main exposure in units of 1/10 f-stop (in the above
example T2). This feature could be selected for any of the burn in times. The
advantage of the adapted f-stop method is, that after a change of the
enlargement scale, you only have to measure the main exposure time again
and the whole burn in sequence is adapted to this new time.
If you have entered all the times and grades for a special sequence, set the
cursor to the first unused burn-in exposure time. Press and hold the
button in order to change this time to 0.00s or 0.0f-stop. This
signals the end of defining the exposure sequence to the controller.
T0: 5.40s G: 2.0
T1: 3.16s G: 5.0
T2: 3.37s 0.7f G: 00.0

Grade of main exposure
e.g. grade 2.0
Grade of 1st BI e.g. 5
Grade of 2nd BI, e.g. 00
Grade of 3rd BI, e.g.

Main exposure e.g. 5.4s
1st burn in (BI) e.g.3.16s
2nd BI, e.g. 0.7 f-stops of
main exposure, i.e. 0.7f of
5.4s=3.37s
3rd BI, e.g. 2.05s

20
Exposing
Example: You like to use the main exposure and two additional burn-in times
as well. The values T0 and G0 are the main exposure, values T1 / G1 are
the first burn-in and T2 / G2 are the second burn-in time. Define these
values first. Then set T3 to 0.00s.
Go back to time T0, by using button . To start the exposure sequence
press the button. . After any exposure, the cursor moves on to the next
line and the according burn-in time can be started by pressing again.
The whole sequence is terminated after the last programmed (maximum 7)
exposure has been executed. Then the cursor moves back to time T0.
You may stop and continue an exposure by pressing the again,
or you can terminate the whole sequence at any time (also while exposing)
by pressing any other button.
Between the single steps of the sequence you may turn in the red (safe light)
filter in front of the lens and switch on the focus light in order to search for
areas that should be dodged. The focus mode will not terminate the
exposure/burn-in sequence.
All settings will be stored automatically when you leave the burn in menu.
Of course, you may also select only one of the burn in times and start this
time by pressing the button.
To quit the burn-in function, press the key until the main menu is
displayed.
Burn-in using white light
For any of the burn-in times 1-7, you may select white light for burn-in. To do
so, change the paper grade to 5.0 and press one more time or select
paper grade 00.0 and press
The display will then show “---“ to indicate the while light mode.
To cancel this setting, simply select another paper grade.
