MAINTENANCE
Servicing your Peri-Pro III on a daily, two week and quarterly basis is critical to maintaining quality
processor performance. We recommend the maintenance procedure outlined below, using Formula
2000 Plus cleaner, and Peri-Pro Developer and Fixer, which are specially formulated for Peri-Pro pro-
cessors. This maintenance schedule may have to be modified if more frequent cleaning is required.
DAILY - CHANGE WATER
TOP OFF CHEMISTRY TANKS WITH WATER TO FILL LINE
Important:
Make sure not to mix the developer and fixer chemistry.
Contaminating the solution will degrade image quality.
Dispose of wash water in accordance with local codes.
EVERY TWO WEEKS (or every 300 - 350 films)
SCRUB TRANSPORT; CHANGE PERI-PRO CHEMISTRY
Caution:
Cleaning and changing chemistry requires the
removal of the cover and film transport from
the Peri-Pro III. Always turn POWER off and
unplug the line cord before removing the cover
or transport.
Scrub Transport
1. Turn
POWER OFF
and unplug the line cord. Remove the film receptacle, lift off the cover.
2 Lift the film transport and let the solutions drip back into the tanks before placing the transport
in a sink. (Use of optional Service Tray PN 90121 will contain any dripping chemistry.)
3. Rinse the transport thoroughly with warm water to soften residue and dried chemistry. Be sure
to rinse above the chemistry level, keeping the shutter and the film inlet on the top of the
transport dry. (Use a sink or the transport wash tub that comes with the Transport Cleaning
Kit PN 43975.)
1. Turn
POWER OFF
and unplug the power cord from the outlet.
2. Remove the film delivery receptacle (see figure 1) at the film dryer exit on the right side of the
cover. Remove the main cover by carefully lifting away from the unit.
Important:
Do not splash chemistry or contamination may result.
3. As shown by Figure 4, carefully lift the Film Transport and hold over the tanks for a few seconds
so liquids drain back into tanks and place the transport on the service tray P/N 90121.
4. Remove the water tank (white), discard the water and rinse out the tank. If the wash tank is
particularly soiled or slimy, it must be thoroughly cleaned and rinsed.
5. Refill the clean water tank with 70° 80°F water; reinsert into base.
6. Check that the solution in the developer (black) and fixer (red) tanks are up to the Fill Lines as indi-
cated on the inside of the refill access door. If not, top off the developer and fixer tanks with water.
7. Slowly and carefully lower the Film Transport straight into the tanks. The Film Transport must
sit squarely on the cutouts found on the top of the vertical plates to the left and right side of
the tanks.
8. Align the Main cover and carefully install the Main Cover onto the unit.
9. Hang the film delivery receptacle (see figure 1) on the film dryer exit on the right side of the cover.
10. Plug the power cord into the electrical outlet and turn the
POWER ON
.
