Default Hi Everybody!

Hi everybody, I just joined. Greetings from Amsterdam, NL. My name Is Carlo and I have two Jobo ATL 1000 which have been sitting for many years in storage waiting for the day I would retire and not be dependent on digital to make a living. Well, that day has come. The processors were bough second hand but the programs are different. One has the standard programs (as per the manual) while the other has been modified as follows:

Cleaning
E6 St
E6 +1
E6 3b
3b +1
Process A
C41 Std
C41 + 1
Process B
B/W 5
B/W 7
B/W 9
Process C
Process D
R3 RT
RA4 RT

Can anyone tell me what are the Process A, B, C and D?

I’ve never used the ATL 1000. Is there a way to run the processes and time the steps and see what happens?

In the manual under connections it says Temperature controlled connection (pressure). I presume this is to the water mains, but Temperature controlled? What do they mean?

For B/W the manual says that the temperature is not controlled. Is there some way to bring it to 20 C for B/W?

Can I remove the bottle to clean them (they need a good scrubbing). How?

What can I use, that’s easily available, to clean some old encrusted chemicals on the bottles etc.?

Any info will be very welcome. Thanks.

Hi Dori, I do not use this method of process but I know others here do Im sure they will help.

Tempreature controlled usally means the temp of the water is set by a thermostate ether before it enters the machine or by the machine with an onboard thermostate.
