Seeking documentation for Industria Fototecnica Firenze ST200 timer

[phdgent]

Hallo,

I bought on eBuy an used enlarger timer as the one I have isn't counting the same exposure time repeatedly anymore, after nearly 30 years of service.
I found an INDUSTRIA FOTOTECNICA FIRENZE ST200 TIMER which looked in rather good shape, and was renown for good stability and therefore used in professional colour printing labs.
But there is no documentation coming with it nor a wiring diagram.
May I ask if there is somebody who can share a copy please?

Thank you,

Except it's All Plastic Now! Nothing left to rust! Don't know that I would pay $300 for a plastic one that won't let you shut the buzzer off. Evidently removing the buzzer switch was the last upgrade. It also shrunk from 12x12 to 7.5x7.5.

The control at the bottom right lets you control the buzzer volume from off to very loud. Having worked with both, I don't particularly care for either version - but the plastic one is an ok process timer.

Thank you,

Finding information about anything IFF seems about 10x more difficult than Durst - that said, there are only so many ways you can wire these things. A careful look inside should give you the answers you need.

Plastic is safer

Mine hangs on high on wall

One can probably figure it out by looking at it (inside and out). Is it labeled in English?

Glad you got the control knob, apparently the new ones don't have it and there are complaints. Look at all the photos on B&H you will see timers without the buzzer knob.

Safer How? In 55 years of using them I've never been injured. At least with the old ones you could judge the viability by the amount of rust!

At least the new ones will be in the landfill for the next several thousand years.

Long time ago I had a Gralab but never liked it that much, then it stopped working and I gave it to a colleague who managed to repair it, and then he gave it away too because didn't like it very much neither.

Anyway, if I would like to buy one, used (on eBuy for instance) most of them are 110V/60Hz, and new ones, if I can find one over here, will be not cheap at all...

In the meanwhile tried the IFF and it runs like a charm and only costed €89.- (used).
Repeatability of the set time was important for me.
