Time replenishment (Anti oxidation function, Flood replishment)
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 60 minutes without replenishment. The pump runs for 15 seconds.
With this function, the quality of the developer chemicals are maintained even when
standing idle for long periods.
Automatic replenishment
Depending on the processed amount of films the chemicals are replenished auto-
matically. This is done by pumping chemicals from the replenishment containers.
By means of the film-detection switch at the film feed tray, the surface of the proc-
essed films are calculated and after

duration is automatically activated. The replenishment quantity per cycle (at pump
setting 100 %) amounts to 150 ml. The chart below shows the replenishment rate
