Author Topic: Kelmar Stereo Cell Hook - up Jeff Stricker Master Film Handler Posts: 481 From: Calumet, Mi USA Registered: Nov 1999 posted 07-10-2001 05:30 PM                     Greetings everyone, I'm getting ready to hook up a Kelmar stereo cell in my Simplex SH1000. I don't see a reference to the connection diagram in the "manuals" section. Looks like a piece of cake: Three wires - black, Green, and red. My guess is the black is common between the two cells. Can someone identify exacly which wire is which for me? Since the wires are fairy short, I thought I'd mount a terminal strip at the base of the pick-up casting, put the 680 ohm loading resistors right there and then go directly to shielded cable at that point. Seem reasonable? Thanks, Jeff  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 07-10-2001 05:54 PM                    well if you follow the rule that Dolby established the wireing is like this. Black is common, Red is left, so green must be right.  |  IP: Logged Paul G.

And, remember - don't ground the shield on the solar cell side. Also it would be good to remember that if you are using a stereo cinema processor, the loading resistors will probably not be necessary.  |  IP: Logged Jeff Stricker Master Film Handler Posts: 481 From: Calumet, Mi USA Registered: Nov 1999 posted 07-10-2001 06:42 PM                     Thanks guys. I just needed a reality check. I'll be warming up the soldering iron... Jeff  |  IP: Logged Aaron Sisemore Flaming Ribs beat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups any day!

DO NOT connect the common lead of the cell to the shield. Aaron  |  IP: Logged
