To release the foot, press the release button, while lifting the front of the projector to the desired height. Use the elevating wheel to make fine adjustments. If the image is not level, make an adjustment by turning the leveling foot at the rear of the projector. Timer (Models AMT & ATS only) To time your slides, use the timer switch for slide changes from 3 to 22 seconds. When selecting a lens, remember that the shorter the focal length (i. e. , the smaller the f/number), the brighter the projected image. Also, a curved-field lens, in combination with cardboard open face mounts from an automated mounting process, provide superior projection quality. A flat-field lens is the best choice for glass-mounted slides. 1.

Using a Dissolve Control One of the more common uses for a dissolve control is a simple two-projector fade. This feature fades down the light beam in one projector, while changing the image and fading up the light beam in the other projector. When using a dissolve control, you need to divide your slides into two trays (odd- and even-numbered slides). The dissolve control has two connectors that plug into the remote-control receptacles in the rear of two projectors. [. . . ] Contacts are closed when the slide tray is at any position other than zero. Connects to an internal single-pole single-throw normally closed switch. Contacts are open when a slide is in the projector gate and the shutter is open. The current is supplied by a secondary winding on the main motor, isolated from the line-voltage power, and is available whenever the main projector motor is running. [. . . ]
