I'm new to the forums but have 12+ years of projection experience and currently own a drive-in theatre.
The amount of expertise here is impressive and am hoping I can get some help.
I have been recently employed by a local second-run theatre to help bring their presentation up to par. The theatre was reopened about 2 years ago after being abandoned by a large chain. When the chain closed the theatre, they either took everything out or destroyed most of what they did not take (par for the course.)
There are 6 screens, all with CFS/Rentec SX2000 consoles , Super Platters , Century SA heads and Century sound heads . The dimmers are Xetrol IV (externally mounted).
I cannot get the wonderful console automation to trigger the Xetrol dimmers. All the dimmers require is a short from the common to either the bright or dim terminal as desired.
It appears that the consoles do have a dimmer built in, but I thought it would be easier to wire in the remote contacts since there are already wires just a few feet away.
Another poor choice of wiring is the red reader being tied into the projector motor circuit. If the motor is on, the sound is being fed into the theatre. In my opinion, this is a terrible method since if you motor the film through the leader, the patrons get to enjoy the magical hiss of the "soundtrack" on the clear leader.
I did download the manual, but it really does not offer much help. Although I am electrically inclined, I am having trouble really nailing down the problem areas using the schematics.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated on these two issues.
