Whilst the chemistry is below the correct temperature (Indicator light is flashing),
temperature will be sensed and the speed will adjust accordingly. When the
temperature of the chemistry reaches 27°C the machine will operate at Normal
Speed – this is indicated by the indicator light being permanently on - the film
spends approximately 1 minute in each chemistry tank.
PROCESSING FILM
Push hands, (with the exposed film package) through the hand entry ports (item
4) at each end of the Daylight Loader (item 20). Strip the film from its wrapper.
Hold one of your hands on the Film Entry Chute (Item 6). Slide the film carefully
down the Film Entry Chute (item 6) a single bleep will indicate the machine has
started. The film should be picked up by the transport mechanism. As soon as
each film has fully entered the transport, pause for a few seconds before
processing the next film.
IMPORTANT: Do not remove hands from the loader until the last film
has entered the transport system. To do so may cause film fogging.
FILM COLLECTION
An audible Beep will sound when all the films entered are processed.
Films will collect in the Wash Tank and may be lifted clear by hand.
Films should be separated before drying to avoid sticking together. Change the
water in the Wash Tank every five films processed.
EACH DAY
1.
Before use check levels of Developer and Fixer and top up where
appropriate.
2.
Before processing run through a 'clean-up' film. This may be done during
the warming up period. For clean-up films use a spare intra-oral film. After a
week discard the old film and use a fresh one. This routine helps to clean
the transport system and checks that the transport mechanism is running
properly.
3.
Renew the water in the wash tank.
4.
At the end of the day turn the Mains Power Switch OFF and disconnect
machine.
WARNING: Turning off electrically at the end of each workday is an
essential safety procedure.
POSITION THE MACHINE TO ALLOW EASY DISCONNECTION FROM
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY.
