Automatic Replenishment Mode
This is the standard replenishment mode of the Processor. In this mode, replenishment
will occur under 2 conditions:
• The replenishment cycle is activated each time approximately 1500 cm
2
(238 in.
2
)
of film has been processed. This is equivalent to one 35 x 43 cm (14 x 17 in.) sheet
of film. The amount of replenisher that is added for each 1500 cm
2
(238 in.
2
) of
processed film can be adjusted by the operator within a certain range. The default
amounts are 60 mL of developer and 85 mL of fixer.
• The Processor will replenish to compensate for low film usage. Low-volume
applications are those processors that process less than 75 sheets of film in 24 hours
(for continuous-run applications) or over 2 power-up cycles (where the last cycle is
more than 3.5 hours on the replenishment timer). A low-volume application is
further divided, and different replenishment volumes are added accordingly for
proper control:
Note
The Replenishment Pumps will automatically turn on every
1
⁄
2
hour during the 4-hour
period when extra replenisher is added. This is the normal operating procedure. Do not
be alarmed.
