8.3 Adjusting the AEC-signals
NOTE Take five 10 seconds exposures in the service mode with a kilovolt value of 68 and a milli-
ampere value of 7 before adjusting the AEC-signals.
Make sure that the unit is in the service mode and that the AEC mode is selected. If needed,
enter the AEC mode by pressing and holding down the auto key until the indicator light will come
on.
In the service mode the AEC detector offset value (base signal) is shown on the main display
when the unit is in the AEC mode and no exposure is taken. Set the offset to value 8 ±2 with the
offset adjustment trimmer located on the Cassette limit PCB. Turning the trimmer clockwise
increases the value and turning it counterclockwise decreases it.
After the offset value is set the AEC-signal during the exposure is adjusted.
Make sure that the primary slot number 0 is selected (the horizontal sector display is empty).
Check that the aluminium block is in front of the slot.
In the darkroom open the cassette and place a film inside the cassette. Close the cassette. Slide
the cassette into the cassette holder.
Protect yourself from radiation and press the exposure button.
CAUTION Radiation is generated when the exposure button is pressed. Take adequate protection
measures. Keep the exposure time as short as possible.
