Omega/LPL ET-500 Precision Digital
Enlarging Timer

The ET-500
offers
precise
exposures
over a broad
timing
range, stays
reliable in
chemical
environments,
and yet is
affordably
priced. It's
the perfect
complement
for any
Saunders/LPL
enlarger-or
any
enlarger,
actually.
Its features
make the
ET-500 ideal
for
professional
studios and
labs, while
its
affordability
makes it
practical
for school
and home
darkrooms.
When
processing
film or
making
enlargements,
timing is
critical.
The ET-500
is highly
accurate and
can control
exposures to
within 1/10
of a second
with
consistent
repeatability.
It handles
the longer
times needed
for film and
paper
processing
and the
shorter
times needed
for ideal
print
exposures.
And, to
assure
consistent
exposures
for multiple
prints or
enlargements,
the timing
process
automatically
resets after
each
exposure.
The timing
process is
made even
more
convenient
and precise
with two
audible
tones that
not only
measure
exposure,
but can also
signal
solution
changes or
help in
burning and
dodging. In
End-buzzer
mode, the
ET-500 beeps
for one
second when
exposure is
complete. In
Count-buzzer
mode, it
beeps at
every
one-second
interval
throughout
exposure and
once again
when
exposure
ends. The
tones can
also be
turned off
for silent
operation.
Two light
levels on
the large
LED display
are
available to
meet
individual
needs.
Choose the
bright level
for normal
printing and
the dim
level to
protect
light-sensitive
materials
from
fogging. Or,
simply turn
the display
off for
color
printing,
when
complete
darkness is
necessary. |
