Set the plate holder vertical, select etching time on the timer to approx. 10 seconds and remove
the air from the
pump. Turn the
pump on for about
10 seconds and turn
off again. Repeat
this process if neces-
sary at intervals of
30 seconds, two or
three times. The
pump must not run
dry for long periods.
Check operation of
door safety switch by
lifting the plate
holder. The pump
must turn off, when
the lid is lifted for ap-
prox. 5mm.
Turn off the machine,
let it cool down and
then remove the wa-
ter. Now fill in the
etchant (13.5 kg fer-
ric chloride and 17 l
of water give 24l caustics) or the developer (24 l water and 240 g neg developer). Please prepare
all chemicals outside of machine!
We generally recommend the use of ferric chloride as etchant. The etching of 35μm copper takes
about 1 minute (etch rate of 0.5 micron/s) with fresh and warm ferric chloride. The etching times
are prolonged with increasing copper saturation. At an etching time > 4 minutes, we recommend
to change the etchant.
Composition
The machine body consists of light-grey PVC and transparent PVC at the front. The interior of the
machine is divided into the spray zone and the medium container. They are divided by a removable
and punched sieve.
The two full jet nozzles are arranged diagonally in the spray zone. Their spraying angle and their ar-
rangement ensure that the foremost and back of the entire effective area are shade-free covered.
The cover of the machine is removable and carries the diagonally arranged pcb holder. On the up-
per left the tiltable control console is attached. On the back of the machine is a maintenance-free,
magnet coupled centrifugal pump.

At the right side of the machine is the rinsing zone.
