ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
DISPOSAL OF CHEMICALS

Most chemicals used in film processors are strong

pollutants and do not belong in the public sewer
system.
Therefore chemicals must be led to waste
containers in order to protect the environment.

Many countries have strong regulations on this

subject, and disposal of containers with waste
chemicals must be made according to these
regulations. Refer to local authorities for information
regarding disposal of waste chemicals.

Contact your supplier of chemicals if you need

more information about safety and disposal.

CHECK OF DEVELOPER
REPLENISHMENT

The developer can either be checked with a control

strip (ask your local dealer of chemicals), or you can
use a well exposed and well processed plate as
reference.
If the density of your plate decreases after a week’s
work, the replenishment is probably too low and a
higher setting of the REPLENISHMENT RATE (see
APPENDIX A, PAR 32) should be selected.
However, if the density is good, the replenishment is
sufficient. A lower setting can then be tried, until it is
established which setting is enough for satisfactory
replenishment.

SPECIAL ACCESSORIES
CONNECTION TO AN AIR CLEANER

If you decide to connect the machine to a

MultiClean Air instead, the connection has to be
made by means of the MultiClean Air Adaption Kit
(see illustration) because of the different sizes of the
connection branches on the processor and the T 520
aircleaner.
Ask your local dealer for further information about
the adaption kit.

WATER RECIRCULATION UNIT

It is possible to minimize the water consumption

when connecting the processor to the optional
water recirculation unit MultiCycle Water S. This unit
consists of a 50 liter container with a built-in
circulation pump that pumps the water through the
processor. When the water returns, it passes
through a filter.
Ask your local dealer for further information about
the water recirculator.

NOTE! It is highly recommended to change the

water in the recirculation unit every day to
prevent the build up of algae in the tank.
