Setting the Automatic On and Off Timers
Description:
The Processor software provides programmable timers for programming 2 distinct on and off times for
the Processor each day. The Automatic Timers allow you to specify a start time for the Processor to
energize automatically so that the processing solutions and the Dryer will have reached their setpoint
temperatures before you arrive at the work site. The Processor can store up to 2 “start times” and 2
“off times” for each day of the week to coincide with changing shifts or with weekend schedules.
Example of Use: For instance, if you want the Processor to be warmed up and ready to accept films
by the time you arrive at work in the morning, you may set Timer1 to turn on the Processor at 6:00 a.m.
If you operate during 2 distinct shifts and there is a large lapse in time between the 2 shifts, you might
want to set Timer1 to turn off the Processor at the end of the first shift and set Timer2 to turn on the
Processor again an hour before the second shift starts for the afternoon. And finally, you might want
to set Timer2 to turn off the Processor for the night at the end of the second shift.
Important
When you are setting the Timers, if the current time is later than the programmed “off time”, the
Processor will not automatically turn itself off until that time the following day.
You will have to manually turn off the Processor for the current day. For example:
If it is currently 4:00 p.m. and you have programmed the “off time” for 3:00 p.m., you must manually turn
off the Processor.
Do not set the On and Off Timers within 15 minutes of each other. To ensure the correct operation of
the Processor, the Processor must remain on for at least 15 minutes before the Automatic Off Timer
turns it off. Likewise, the Processor must remain off for at least 15 minutes before the Automatic On
Timer turns it on.
