Before processing film, open the refill access door to determine whether chemistry in the
developer and fixer tanks are at the Fill Line level as indicated on the inside of the refill access
door. If not, top with water to the Fill Line. Close the refill access door.

Turn the
PPOOWWEERR
switch
OONN
. The amber light illuminates, indicating that there is power to the
processor, the heating system is on and the chemistry is being heated. Chemistry heats at a
rate of about 1°F every two to three minutes. For example: chemistry initially at 65°F will
reach set point (75°F) in about 25 minutes.

When the chemistry is within 1°F of the pre-set processing temperature, the

light flickers. When the light remains steady, the factory pre-set temperature
has been reached and the Peri-Pro III is ready to process film. Only process film when the

Insert film into the film inlet and slide the shutter to the right until it latches. Film is automatically
processed. A new batch of film can be processed every 55 seconds.
Use the handy removable trash receptacle when stripping covers off film.
The trash receptacle is especially useful when using a Daylight Loader.

#2 films can be fed directly into the processor
If a film is bent, straighten it.
cc..
As soon as the shutter moves back into the original closed position, the next batch of films
may be loaded into the inlet slots and the process repeated.
dd..
When the last films to be processed are loaded, place the inlet cover over the film inlet.
The inlet cover prevents film fogging due to light leaks. If a Daylight Loader is being used,
put the inlet cover in place before hands are removed from the cuffs.
NNoottee::
The inlet cover comes installed on the grill inlet.

When films have completed the processing cycle, they are delivered into the film delivery
receptacle.
NNoottee::
With dividers in place in the film receptacle, the four compartments correspond to slots I &
2, 3 & 4, 5 & 6, 7 & 8 of the film inlet grill. The dividers separate sets of film pairs.

Strip the cover off a periapical film and place it into any of the
eight slots of the inlet grill. All 8 slots can be loaded at the same
time if required. Do not put two films into the same slot.

Slide the shutter to the right until it latches. The films drop into the
transport and begin processing when the transport arms automat-
ically move into position and the shutter opens.
