AUTOMATIC REPLENISHING cont.
Use a small funnel to pour in about 2 liters of solution through the RETURN fitting.
Pour a liter of REPLENISHER into the BLADDER. Check the BLADDER periodically, if it is
closing in, add more replenisher.
Place a container under the OVERFLOW fitting to catch the overflow.
SETTING THE CONTROL KNOB
Turn the knob clockwise to get to starting position. Do not overtighten.
BLEACH. Turn the knob 3/4 turn (5ml./roll) as a starting setting.
FIX. Turn the knob 3 turns (30 ml./roll) as a starting setting.
Monitor your process results. If the film does not clear (milky) increase the replenishment
rate. You can usually re-fix the film manually to correct the problem.
If the film looks flat, muddy or the black areas have a red tinge, increase the bleach
replenishment rate and/or make sure the bleach is aerated. You can usually re-bleach the
film to correct the problem.
CALIBRATING THE METERING VALVE
If you wish to check how much replenisher is actually drawn in per roll, do the following:
1. Run tubing from the USED tube of the METERING VALVE to a container of water at
floor level.
2. Run tubing from the REPLENISH tube of the METERING VALVE to a beaker of water.
The top of the water level in the beaker must be at the same level as the water in the
container.
3. Mount the METERING VALVE on the water input (#5) tube of the selector valve.
4. Turn on SIDEKICK. Select TEMPERATURE CALIBRATE, push START. The unit will
pump water into the heating tank to the 8 roll level.
5. When the unit stops pumping, turn it off. Measure how much water was pulled from the
beaker. Divide by 8 to get volume per roll.
6. Turn SIDEKICK on and do DRAIN to empty the heating tank.
