    Seeking documentation for Industria Fototecnica Firenze ST200 timer

    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,

    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.

    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!
