3. PROJECTOR INSTALLATION AND
ASSEMBLY
3.1. UNPACKING THE PROJECTOR
Before opening box (es), carefully inspect outside of carton(s). If carton
has been damaged, notify shipper immediately; do not open carton
unless instructed to do so.
The CHRISTIE projector may be shipped in more than one container. Each projector
normally comes complete with the following items:
• dual aperture plate (shipped in place)
• framing lamp (installed)
•
sound-head flywheel (not installed)
•
sound-head assembly (factory-aligned)
•
dual-lens turret
• drive motor assembly
• instruction manual.
The console and projector are shipped in a single carton, with special pockets containing
smaller items. Sound-head flywheel are shipped separately.
To unpack:
1. Open carton(s).
2. Remove all protective material from framing lamp, sound-head assembly, and lens
holder.
3. Remove protective material around side panel.
3.2. INSTALLATION
To install the projector, refer to Figure 3-1. The required materials and tools for installing
and assembling the projector are outlined in the Table in Figure 3-2.
1. Loosen but do not remove nut on projector mounting stud (item 4 in Figure 3-1). Verify
that lock washer (item 5 in Figure 3-1) and flat washer (item 6 in Figure 3-1) are
correctly positioned on mounting stud. Flat washer should be next to lock washer,
followed by nut.

3: Projector Installation and Assembly
2. Insert lock washer (item 2 in Figure 3-1) and flat washer (item 3 in Figure 3-1) onto hex
bolt (item 1 in Figure 3-1). Insert hex head bolt, with lock washer and flat washer, into
upper left opening of projector mount. Rotate hex head bolt four full turns.
3. Lift and mount projector to console or pedestal. Thread two remaining hex head bolts
with lock washer and flat washer. Insert into two bottom mounting holes on projector.
4. Level projector on lamp-house or pedestal.
5. Tighten nut on mounting stud using 9/16" wrench.
6. Tighten three hex head bolts using same wrench.

3.3. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Before wiring the projector, refer to Figure 3-3 for the wiring interface diagram. Use
stranded wire. Strip and tin the wire prior to connection. Use crimp connectors on all sound
connections. For projectors equipped with an automatic turret, refer to Section 6.6.3.
3.3.1. SOLAR C ELL W IRING
Solar cell wiring requires a shielded, four-conductor audio cable. (red – left (+), black – left
(-), green – right (+), white – right (-)). The best signal-to-noise ratio is achieved by
maintaining the same ground potential between the sound-head and the cinema processor.
Refer to the directions in the sound system instruction manual for proper connection of the
sound system.

3.3.2. A-C PROJECTOR W IRING
AC wiring to the projector requires stranded, 14-gauge wire. Be sure to follow local and
national electrical codes for A-C wiring. The terminal connection numbers in the table in
Figure 3-4 refer to terminals TB-1 in Figure 3-3.
Terminal TB1 Connection
A Power Supply (AC-hot)
B Power Supply (AC- neutral)
W1 Motor (AC neutral)

W4 Cooling Fan, Turret Control (AC-hot)
W5 Douser coil CLOSE (AC-hot switched externally)
W6 Douser coil OPEN (AC-hot switched externally)
J Cooling Fan, Turret Control and Douser (AC neutral).
Figure 3-4: Table of A-C Terminal Connections
The voltage and frequency rating of the projector (shown on the
nameplate) must match the power line frequency and voltage being
used.

4. OPERATING THE PROJECTOR
4.1. GENERAL
Before operating the projector, verify that all phases of installation and assembly have been
completed.
• Verify that cover for belt side of projector is installed before and
during operation.
• Do not make adjustments on belt side of projector while cover is
WARNING
removed and power is on.
• Do not make adjustments or perform maintenance on projector
while it is in operation.
4.2. PRE-OPERATING PROCEDURES
4.2.1. FLYWHEEL I NSTALLATION
1. Back out flywheel set screw far enough to let flywheel slide onto shaft without scoring
shaft or damaging threads on set screw.
2. Slide flywheel onto shaft until it stops.
3. Position set screw over flat portion of shaft and tighten set screw.
4. Spin flywheel by hand to check for smooth operation.
CHRISTIE recommends that any projector accessories be installed at
this time.
4.2.2. L ENS I NSTALLATION
1. Install lens system in lens holder. If it is necessary to open lens holder wider than
normal:
a) Loosen two lens-locking screws.
b) Turn jack screw clockwise until lens slides into lens holder; turn the screw back.
2. Set focus knob at mid-position.
CHRISTIE DIGITAL SYSTEMS CineX35 Projector 4-1

4: Operating the Projector
3. Secure lens system with two locking screws.
Over-tightening can cause focus mechanism to bind.
4.3. FILM THREADING AND O PERATING PROCEDURE
Refer to Figure 4-1 for film threading and positioning using flywheel.
1. Set Ultramittent to its rest position. There should be no sprocket movement when motor
flywheel is turned.
2. Center framing knob (P) by aligning mark on knob with line on projector housing marked
CENTER FRAME.
3. Swing out pad rollers (B, F, L) on constant-speed sprockets (A & G).
4. Swing out film shoe on Ultramittent assembly (E).
5. Pull out catch knob (D) and swing out gate assembly (C).
6. Using slightly more film length than is required to reach film transport system, begin to
thread film into projector.
7. Align film on Ultramittent sprocket and close Ultramittent film shoe.
8. To form proper loop between Ultramittent and lower constant-speed sprocket:
a) Pull film loosely over lower constant-speed sprocket, form loop as shown on Figure
4-1.
b) Mate film sprocket holes with sprocket pins.
c) Hold film in position and close pad rollers.
9. Thread film on sound-head assembly as shown in Figure 4-1:
a) Holding two lateral guide rollers (H and K) towards each other, pull film tight and
align film on lower constant-speed sprocket assembly (G).
b) Tighten film on one sprocket hole so lateral guides barely float off sound drum.
c) Close pad rollers (L) of lower constant-speed sprocket.
