Tanis Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Hello everybody First, I want to apologize for my bad english, I'm french. I bought a used FP232B from a friend of mine, which had no problem when I saw it running before I buy it. But since I have it ( 3 days), I can't make the N3 heat to the right temp. The others tanks are quickly to the good temperature, but not the N3. I know the heat system is the same for both N2 and N3, and the N2 is good, so i don't think it is the problem. The N3 grows up to 33°C in a day (it should grow to 37). I hope my problem is clearly explained. Anyone got an idea? Thanks a lot.

Tanis Posted February 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 But, if the heater is the same for N2 and N3, why is the N2 hot ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nash Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 on the FP230B each tank has it`s own heater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nash Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 i think you should replace the heater my one cost me about £150.00 and it took me about 15 minutes to replace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanis Posted February 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 I think this is a circulation problem, but how can I check it? I don't have the manual right here, I will have it next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABDUL QUDDUS Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Hi Remove circulation filter and check inside. Is there any movment in chemical. Torch light will help you alot to see chemical movment. Another way is to remove complete N3 chemical and rack also then pore with water and check in chemical tank is there any movment. Most probably it is a circulation problem. Try to clean circulation pump, pipe and heater. ABDUL QUDDUS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pancho_colors Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 first checks if the heater comes to energy. then, check the solid state relay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christina Rose Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 probably N3 heater may damaged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andis Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 I have had this problem with two 230b's and one 232b and each time cause was the same - bad circulation due to clogged circulation filters, which in turn caused sediment in all piping, tank, rack and heater section. These machines has problems like this if you have too small amount of films to develop. If you have less than, say, 10 a day and you do not "simulate" processing by feeding leaders, then eventually sooner than later you will have this problem. Only solution is to to clean n3 tank, rack, heating, piping and try to run machine with enough load to keep it clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
