Power and Switch location:
The main power switch is on the bottom panel of the main enclosure, towards the right
front corner. The fuse holder is behind the switch, and the receptacle for the power cord
is farthest rearward. Fuse replacement is as marked by the fuse label, using a 5 amp,
slow-blow fuse only.
MAKE-UP TABLE CONTROL PANEL:
All table functions are controlled from the control panel. Power is indicated by the
POWER LED. The MAKE-UP / BREAK-DOWN Switch controls spindle direction and
power. In Make-up mode, power is diverted to the Platter deck motor via the connecting
cable. Speed is controlled by rotating the speed knob, increasing speed as the knob is
rotated clockwise. During Break-Down, the internal table motor runs, pulling the film off
the platter, and onto a reel mounted on the spindle. The platter motor is dis-engaged,
allowing the deck to spin freely. Speed is controlled by the speed knob. If, during the
film transfer operation, the reel or deck needs to be stopped or slowed down,
depressing the BRAKE switch will slow and stop the controlled function. Remember
that both motors will be slowed during make-up, but only the table motor will be slowed
during break-down, as the platter motor is dis-engaged, and the deck is spinning free.
The RUN light lights green when the table is operating normally, and off when the
brake is applied. After the brake is used, the control must be reset by rotating the speed
control fully counter-clockwise, and waiting for the RUN light to turn green again.
Proceed again with the film winding process.
