Troubleshooting Machine Errors
Machine does not switch on
• Ensure that electrical plug is firmly inserted into socket.
• Ensure that electrical socket has power supply by testing with an appliance
(e.g. tablelight).
Film will not feed in but the dyer fan works
• Place cover firmly on machine, ensuring that the cover switch on the right
front side has been activated.
Machine does not start automatically
• Film switch, located on the left side of the feed tray, has not been pressed
down. Feed in the film to activate the switch.
Developer temperature too low
• The temperature dial is set between two positions.
Replenishment pump does not pump
• Check whether the replenishment containers are full and that the end of the
suction pipe is positioned under the liquid level.
• Check whether there is air in the replenishment pipes. If this is the case, then
check the pipe connections.
Rinsing water does not flow
• Open water ball valve.
• Water pressure in the water system is too low: Minimum pressure 2 bar (29
psi).
Water tank overflows
• Water drainage hose (overflow) is bent. The hose end should be positioned
above the drainage level in the syphon (see diagram on page 8).
• Water drainage in the tank, hoses and connections should be checked for
blockage and dirt/residue build-up. The drainage hoses should have a con-
stant fall.
The film does not transport correctly
• Film is fed in and gets caught in the machine: Check the positioning of the
racks in the machine and make sure that the latches are closed.
Important notice:
Ensure that the racks are firmly installed and keep the secur-
ing latches on the drive shafts closed.
Don’t operate processor with empty replenishment tanks.
After a long machine shut down check developer and fixer lev-
els and refill if necessary.
