4.1 PROCESSOR FUNCTIONS

PROGRAMMING:

Automatic processing parameters, e.g., temperature, speed and
replenishment rates, can be stored in 9 different programmes.

WARMING-UP:

Once programmed, temperature settings are accurately controlled.
Heating commences with switching on at the mains. Constant solution
temperatures are maintained in the processing tanks. Temperatures
tole/- 0,2 °C are achieved by the microprocessor control unit
while the solutions are circulated by circulation pumps. When
temperature has reached PRE-SET levels, the filmprocessor enters
STANDBY mode and is ready for use.

STANDBY:

In case no material is processed - after a programmable periode of time,
since the last media has exited the filmprocessor transport, dryer and water
supply is switched off automatically. The filmprocessor goes in standby
mode and is ready for work.

ANTI CRYSTALLI-

During STANDBY mode - within a programmable cycle periode - transport

ZATION CYCLE

and intermediate rinse bath water supply is activated - this prevent
cristallization build up on crossover rollers.

ANTI-OXIDATION

During STANDBY mode - and no material is processed during set time -

CYCLE

an preprogrammable ANTI OXIDATION cycle (replenishment cycle)
is available.
The additional replenishment compensates the impact of airoxidation of
the chemistry during standby mode und tops up the chemistry
levels in the tanks, compensating evaporation of the water in the
solutions during standby.

AUTO

The filmprocessor comes equipped with a film area measuring facility.

REPLENISHMENT:

Infrared sensors scan the film area touchless and when
the preprogrammed amount of film (area) entered the filmprocessor,
a replenish-cycle is activated.

AUTOMATIC

Infrared sensors also automatically control the startcycle of the

START-STOP:

filmprosessor. The filmprocessor changes from STANDBY to RUN once a
film has interrupted the light barrier. As the rollers turn, water is supplied to
the wash tank and to the intermediate rinse bath system. Once the last
film has passed through, the filmprocessor reverts to STANDBY. The film
can be taken out of the receiving basket or top cover lid.
