B23 Replacement Lamp Mounting Instructions con’t:
Thermostat Control
1. This feature is incorporated in all Aristo units. Thermo control maintains a continuous ambient warmth around the
lamp insuring peak brightness at each start when operated through a timer or footswitch
2. Turn on your thermo switch or plug in your thermo cord and allow your unit to warm up for about 5-10 minutes before
making any exposure.
3. To help speed up this warm-up period, the lamp may be turned on at the same time for about 3 minutes, then shut off.
The unit is now ready to operate efficiently.
4. The thermo control should be left on continuously for the duration of any day or working session.
Processing Recommendations:
Negatives:
Develop negatives 20-30% longer than recommended for normal.
This becomes the “Normal” negative for cold light printing
Paper:
Expose paper so that full development time can be given. This will produce prints of good contrast and maximum quality,
maintaining a full tonal range from the whitest highlights to the deepest blacks.
Maintenance and Care:
Clean your unit periodically. With a damp cloth wipe your lamp, reflector and diffusion plate of dust and dirt which may
accumulate. Keeping the until clean will help maintain optimum evenness, speed and contrast.
With a minimum of care, your Aristo cold light unit will give you years of faithful and trouble free service.
Caution:
Instructions are for guidance only.
Aristo/Voltarc will not be responsible for any damage to lamp or lamp housing for items improperly installed.
