(horizontal movement)
The film skates should sit close rather
uniformly in the whole film path.
If the skate lifting is actuated (reverse
running) the film skates should lift up at
the top by about 0.5 mm.
Figure 3-10
Regulating the film pressure skates
Because the film pressure skates will grind-in by the time, you have to check
regularly the skate sit. If necessary regulate it.
Skate distance
• skate distance too far: - The engagement of the sprocket teeth in the
perforation can no longer be assured.
- Film draws over the teeth.
- The loop becomes too small.
- Film breaks.
• skate distance too close: - The sliding friction increases.
- The drive will be stressed.
- The film will be damaged.
Skate height
1. For this purpose two film layers 16 mm respective 35 mm are put into the film
gate and the film skate 16 mm or 35 mm is closed.
By loosening the counter set screw , the skate can be adjusted in its height.
After adjusting fasten screw again.
2. The horizontal distance of the skate to the film gate can be corrected after
loosening the Allen screws on the lower and upper adjusting element .
Evenly shift the adjusting elements. After adjusting fasten Allen screws again.
3. Check the adjustments by running a film. If necessary adjust again.

3.2.2.5 Rotation Shutter
DANGER
Open shutter housing only when projector is switched off.
If projector runs with open door be careful not to touch the rotating shutter. Serious
cuts can be the consequence.
The rotation shutter interrupts the projection light once during film transport and
once during picture standstill. (48 interrupts a second with 24 pictures a second).
3.2.2.5.1 Standard Shutter Drive
Modes with 2-blade shutter:
3-blade mode: 15 fps to 20 fps
2-blade mode: 21 fps to 27 fps
all other speeds: the shutter runs not
synchronized (default mode)
Figure 3-13
2-blade standard shutter drive
3.2.2.5.2 Vario Shutter Drive
Optionally the projector can be equipped with a high-dynamic shutter motor with a 2-
blade or 3-blade shutter (nevertheless the 3-blade shutter is physically only a 2-
blade shutter, but operates like a 3-blade shutter because of bigger dark zones).
Both shutters are able to simulate a 1-, 2- and 3-blade mode.
Modes with 2-blade shutter:
3-blade mode: up to 20 fps
2-blade mode: 20 fps to 32 fps
1-blade mode: 48 fps or 50 fps
(forward/reverse STEP, not Shuttle)
Modes with quasi 3-blade shutter:
3-blade mode: up to 25 fps
2-blade mode: 26 fps to 32 fps
1-blade mode: 48 fps or 50 fps
(forward/reverse STEP, not Shuttle)
Figure 3-14
2-blade vario drive shutter
NOTE
• In principle only projectors with the new projection mounting plates can be retrofitted
with vario drive shutters.
If the projector is already equipped with a vario drive 2-blade shutter it is possible to
mount a 3-blade shutter by exchanging the shutter and the software.
• Adjusting the shutter, see EC service manual.

3.3.1.4 Sound Shaft Drive
The sound flywheel (for alignment
running of sound) is driven via a
friction wheel from a stepping motor.
In shuttle operation the flywheel will be
uncoupled from sound shaft – but the
flywheel runs forward driven by the
stepping motor.
Figure 3-45
Sound shaft drive
When the projectors runs in projection operation again and the sound shaft runs
synchronously with the stepping motor, the flywheel will be coupled again and the
stepping motor will be lifted up.
Because of this operation the sound alignment running will be reached in less than 2
seconds.
When projector is still, the stepping motor switches off itself (switching off time is
adjustable, factory-set: 3 minutes).
When re-starting the stepping motor accelerates the flywheel again.
NOTE

Because of the 16-mm sound device position - the sound is read before the picture -
it is necessary to set a delay to synchronise picture and sound.
• Set the desired film speed, which is corresponding to a certain delay (24 or
25 F/s).
The LEDs indicates the current delay setting corresponding to the film speed.
• Normally the rotary switch Speed 1 is factory-set to 24 F/s corresponding to

Normally the rotary switch Speed 2 is set to 25 F/s corresponding to projection
speed of 25 F/s.
It is possible via configuration settings to have the 25 F/s button, for example,
actually cause the projector to run at 30 F/s. In this case the Speed 2 rotary

5.6.6 DIP1 on Operating Panel Control Board PEC-80-31
The keys / buttons can be configured by
switching DIP1 switches on the operating
panel control board.
DIP1 switches
The DIP switches 1, 2, 3 and 4 are
suitable to adjust the operating panel.
Normally the switches are set to OFF.
• DIP switch 1 is ON After switching on the projector the operating
panel runs a self test (all lamps will be switched
on and off).
• DIP switches 1+2 are ON The shuttle potentiometer can be set
mechanically to the middle (zero-point).
• DIP switch 3 is ON The operating panel is activated as a "remote
panel". This setting is necessary if another
external panel (here DIP 3 = OFF) is used
as “main panel”.
• DIP switch 4 is ON After projector is switched on, the version and
date of operating panel software appears.
ATTENTION
DIP switch 8 is set by KINOTON and it must not be changed.

6 Trouble Shooting
Currently technology and programming guarantee a trouble-free system,
nevertheless there could be errors because of malfunction, wrong procedures and
other things.
In this chapter you get information about possible errors and error messages and
about clearing these errors.
Basically the system distinguishes three types of errors:
Film break
projector stops immediately
error type 1:
projector stops immediately and cannot be operated
(fatal error)
error type 2:
errors which do not stop projector
6.1 Film Break
The IR reflex film break sensors monitor “no film” - a film break if projector runs with
frictions and not in loop operation.
Arrows indicate which sensor has monitored a break (here, sensor on the top).
The projector stops immediately if there is no film or a
film break.
After solving the problem the projector works normally and it has not switched off
and on again.
6.2 Error Type 1
Various components which are necessary for film run, are continuously checked in
the projector. If there is an irregularity on these components, an error indication will
be issued on the display and:
• all drive motors will be made dead
• the film pressure skate and the sound pressure roller will be lifted
• the xenon lamp will be switched off
• the red LEDs on the boards will illuminate, see chapter 0.
• On the main computer unit PEC-80-01/02 all LEDs are blinking in rapid
succession. The projector can no longer be operated.
Switch-off projector on main switch.
It may only be switched on again after elimination of the fault.
6.2.1 Error Messages and their Reasons
F01: INTERNAL ERROR
The internal software supervision of main computer has detected a serious fault in
computer operation.
F05: SHUTTER SLOW
The shutter runs too slowly or not at all.
Operating Manual 6-83

F06: POWER INTERFACE
A power driver (dowser, heat filter, sound roller lifting unit (16- or 35-mm), sound,
pilot lamp, xenon lamp or skate lifting unit) announces a short-circuit, open current,
excess temperature or over-current.
NOTE
You will get a detailed information in chapter 6.2.2, point 3.
F08: NO FRAME PULSES
No picture pulses are being produced in the reference value generator.
F09: SOUND35 FAIL
Due to malfunction the sound shaft drive is dropped out.
F21: FRICTION
There are problems in the friction control. Arrows indicate which friction has
announced a fault.

- in the initialisation phase after switching on or if there is
- overcurrent
- 5V power supply voltage fault
- “fatal error”.
4. On interface board PEC-80-06 there are 8 red LEDs in the following order:
- 1 = dowser
- 2 = heat filter
- 3 = skate lifting
- 4 = pilot lamp
- 5 = xenon lamp
- 6 = sound 16-mm (roller lifting)
- 7 = sound 35-mm (roller lifting)
- 8 = external friction
In order to get a failure indication, you have to set the numbered DIP-FIX
switches (on PEC-80-06) to ON and the DIP-S switches to OFF (corresponding
to projector equipment):
DIP switch Setting Monitoring always set
1 ON dowser x
2 ON heat filter x
3 ON skate lifting x
4 ON pilot lamp x
5 ON xenon lamp x
6 ON 16 mm sound option
7 ON 35 mm sound option
8 ON external friction or RUN signal ST 200 E option
When one of the red LEDs illuminates because of an error, the projector goes to the
FATAL ERROR mode and indicates on the display:
F06: POWER INTERFACE.
5. The sound amplifiers (16-mm film) indicate their active working by the red
illuminating LED.
6. If the green LED at film break sensor illuminates the power is on. If the yellow
LED illuminates, no film is threaded or the sensor is not adjusted correctly or
defective.
