Hi all,
I've finally had a chance to fill up and turn on a newly aquired Jobo CPP3 processor with lift. I have both 3005 and 3010 expert drums.
The instructions that arrived with the machine are horribly vague and I'm hoping people here might help with a couple of quesitons.
1: If I'm setting up a preset process (eg. Pyrocat-HD, 2:2:100 @ 22 degrees C. for HP5+,) and I select Expert Drum, it seems like I can't reduce the rotation speed at all. Am I correct in thinking this is set in stone in this mode?
and in addition to the above...
2: If I use manual mode instead and define for example a 25rpm rotation speed (to reduce oxidisation of pyro,) I can't select Expert Drum at all, meaning the drum only competes half a revolution before it reverses (I didn't count, but when Expert Drum is defined in the Auto process it seems to rotate about twice before reversing?) Am I missing something here? Is there another option within Manual I have missed to specify the type of drum being used? Seems weird that the manual mode wouldn't accommodate Expert Drums by rotating them appropriately.
And lastly:
3: How do people drain the unit properly? It seems almost impossible to drain the bath completely without perhaps turning it upside down. And is the unit really self cleaning? Does refilling the wash water through the lift really do enough to clean the line ready for the next run, or do people do additional steps for this?
Thanks again for your help!
Tim
