Author Topic: Victoria 5 mistery Felipe Leoni Film Handler Posts: 7 From: São Paulo, SP, Brazil Registered: Aug 2004 posted 08-19-2004 11:07 PM                        Hello! I´m restoring some Victoria 5 projectors, and i found some electrical challenges. These machines have an automation system that uses inductive sensors after hidraulic compensator, and the projector have a box bellow lamphouse with a emergency button. Looking inside the box, we found 2 eletromechanical counters and some relays. I looked out inet for the schematics, and i sent a e-mail to cinemeccanica, whitout any solution. Can you help me? Sorry for my bad english, I´m brazilian. Thanks  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-20-2004 09:24 AM                     The Vic 5 is rather simple the standard projector uses a 3phase motor that will either be connected through a inverter or through 3 resistors and a timing contactor or a bank of capactitors if wired for single phase The changeover solinoid is maintained 100vdc typically I usually gut the base and rewire them to do what I want  |  IP: Logged Felipe Leoni Film Handler Posts: 7 From: São Paulo, SP, Brazil Registered: Aug 2004 posted 08-20-2004 10:02 PM                        Hello, In my case, I have 3phase motors. But I found in manuals a table for many types of motor. In projector´s circuit box, I have 3 resistors and I have the capacitor bank too. I found 2 timing contactors and other contactors. Looking at exciter lamp supply, I found a selector for AC or DC. In the same board I found the sensors connection. So I have a question: Is this all original? Where can I find the original electrical diagrams? Thanks for helping.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-21-2004 12:58 AM                     Since you are both neighbors I think you and Luciano should both get together and figure it out over a six pack of beer . He's a pretty smart guy! Two noggens are better than one, at least thats what we say here in the States..... Hey! I donno what they say "Up North" but rip all the wiring out and start over again comes to mind for some reason ya know .

It's being a long time since I saw Vic's 5 with automations in it, but yes, those had the sensors you describe,those where used for lens change and auditorium light control. the resistors,capacitors,timer and contactors/relays you mention is probably the slow start circuitry for the motor ( almost all the Vic's I saw that had it's original motor switch replaced or were modified for automation had this circuit) Maybe if you tell from what theatre they came out I'd give a better help although I alredy have a guess of where they came Oh, I'd have posted here in Portuguese.. but all the other people here would be left aside  |  IP: Logged Richard Fowler Film God Posts: 2392 From: Ft. Lauderdale, FL, USA Registered: Jun 2001 posted 08-21-2004 03:13 PM                     There have been many variations of motor control + motor types on a V-5, which is basically a slow start on a 3 phase motor. The three phase motors are durable enough to be controlled by an a.c.invertor which would have more advantages than the present hardware.  |  IP: Logged Felipe Leoni Film Handler Posts: 7 From: São Paulo, SP, Brazil Registered: Aug 2004 posted 08-24-2004 09:40 PM                        Hello guys! Thank you all for help. Thanks Luciano for the tips! I´ll draw the schematic for these machines, and I´ll post a new topic to tell the news and I can send these diagrams after they are completed and comparated whith other machines, if have interest.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C.

I'll try to get them scanned when I get home from work, probably around 3am. edit: way too tired, will try to do it Thursday [ 09-01-2004, 02:45 AM: Message edited by: Daryl C. W.

I'd imagine the pedestal version would be similarly wired. I'll submit the PDF for the manuals section, until then email me if you need a copy.  |  IP: Logged Felipe Leoni Film Handler Posts: 7 From: São Paulo, SP, Brazil Registered: Aug 2004 posted 09-05-2004 09:51 PM                        Could you send me a copy of this PDF to felipeleoni@uol.com.br?
