measurement). Before a film is passed on from the developer bath into the fixer bath, it is rinsed with
clean water which minimises pollution of the fixer chemicals with developer chemicals. The film
is then dried in the dryer before passing out of the machine and falling into the catch tray. The machine
then goes into the stand-by mode. To keep the machine in working condition during the stand-by
mode, the electronics have been furnished with two specialities: The Anticrystalisation Function and
the Time Replenishment.
5.2.3
Anti-crystallization function
During the stand-by mode, the film transport, the dryer ventilation and the water inflow are activated
every 20 minutes for a period of 15 seconds. This prevents the build-up of crystals on the rollers. This
function cannot be switched off.
5.2.4
Time replenishment (Anti-oxidation function, Flood replenishment)
Also during the stand-by, the developer chemicals are subject to change which causes their
deterioration. By means of the time replenishment, a replenishment cycle is activated after a set time.
With this function, the quality of the developer chemicals are maintained even when standing idle for
long periods. The setting-range for the time-replenishment is from 5 up to 99 minutes. When
“0”
is set,
the time-replenishment is de-activated.

Processing time
The processing time, is the time, it takes the front end of a film from the infeed of the processor until it
reaches the film exit. The processing time is set by the speed with which the film is transported through
the machine. Depending on the requirements, this time can be varied from 2 to 10 minutes adjusted in
0.1-minute-steps (adjusting the processing time: see 5.2.5.2)
