This equipment has been carefully designed and manufac-
tured to meet the requirements of Business, Industrial,
Television, Educational, Governmental, Medical, and other
institutional uses.

Before you start to use your new projector-learn these basic
safety precautions. Keep them in mind whenever you handle
or operate the equipment.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

1.

Read and understand all instruction material that is
provided with this projector.

2. Maintain close supervision when the projector is used by
persons not fully acquainted with correct operating
procedure.

3. Take special care to avoid burns that can result from
touching hot parts. Allow the projector to cool before
replacing a lamp or cleaning lenses.

4. Do not operate this projector with a damaged cord. If the
unit has been dropped or damaged, have it examined by a
qualified service representative before using it again.

5. Be careful to place the power cord where you or other
persons will not trip over it.

6. If an extension cord is necessary, use a3-wire grounding-
type cord with a suitable current rating. Cords rated for
less amperage than the projector may overheat.

7. Never yank the cord to pull the plug from the outlet. Grasp
the plug and pull it to disconnect.

8. Do not disassemble this projector beyond the extent
necessary to perform the routine maintenance procedures
described in this manual. If further disassembly is required,
take the projector to a qualified service representative,
since incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock
hazard.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Setting Up

Place the projector on a firm table or
other support of convenient height.
Set up the projection screen. Be guided
as to the relative location of the pro-
jector and screen by the information on
pages 13 and 14. Unlatch the cover
locks, tilt the cover away from the pro-
jector, and lift it off.

Lift the SUPPLY REEL ARM (Figure 1) up
as far as it will go. Lift up the TAKE-UP

REEL ARM until the TAKE-UP BELT can be

put on the take-up pulley. Do not twist

the belts. When projecting film on

50-

foot

(15.2

m)

or 100-foot

(30.5

m)

reels or film on reels with cores smaller
than two inches in-diameter, remove

the belt from the supply pulley. With
these smaller reels, allow the belt to
rest between the pulley and the arm.
The belt should be replaced on the
pulley when the projector is run in
reverse or when film is being rewound.
Be sure the diameter of the take-up
reel is at least equal to the diameter
of the supply reel.

Remove the POWER CORD from its stor-
age space. This projector is equipped
with a 3-wire power cord and a 3-prong
polarized plug for direct connection to
a 105- to 12S-volt, 60 Hz wall recep-

4

tacle of the grounding type. By using a
suitable power cord adapter, it is pos-
sible to plug into a conventional wall
receptacle. When you do this, connect
the grounding wire attached to the
2-prong adapter to a suitable ground.
For convenience it is suggested that-
in those locations where the projector
will be used frequently-the usual
2-prong receptacle be replaced with a
3-prong polarized receptacle, properly
grounded.

If an extension power cord is used, be
sure that it has adequate current-carry-
ing capacity (No. 18 AWG wire or larger)
to avoid overheating the cord and that
it is as short as possible to prevent
excessive voltage drop.

Position the speaker as close to the
screen as possible. Uncoil enough
speaker cable to connect the plug to
the SPEAKER JACK (Figure 1) in the
amplifier. The speaker should be placed
at the ear level of the audience for
proper sound distribution.

A phone extension cable can be used
for a speaker extension cord, providing
it is No. 18 AWG wire or larger and has
aV4-inch phone plug and line recep-
tacle at the ends.

CAUTION: A short in the cord or
plugs might damage the amplifier.

Make sure that the REWIND TAB is in the
position shown in Figure1.Turn on
the PROJECTOR POWER SWITCH. Then,
turn on the motor and lamp by moving
the MASTER CONTROL all the way forward
to the front of the projector. Rotate
the lens clockwise or counterclockwise
until the margins of the lighted area on

the screen are in focus.
Adjust the elevation by turning the

ELEVATION CONTROL clockwise until the

lighted area is centered on the screen.

While the projector is running forward,

move the SPEED SELECTOR to SILENT or
SOUND, depending upon the film being
projected. To move the selector from
SOUND to SILENT, push the lever to the
left as far as it will go; to go from
SILENTto SOUND, push the selector
upward to release it-the selector will
automatically move to the SOUND
position.

Turn off the projection lamp and the
motor. Turn the VOLUME CONTROL fully
counterclockwise and the TONE CONTROL
to NORMAL.

Make sure that the SOUND-INPUT SWITCH
is at the FILM position.

perforations with the sprocket teeth
and close the clamp. (See Figure 3.)

Place the leader between the top and
bottom EDGE GUIDES of the film channel.
Close the gate by pressing on the GATE

LATCH. Form the upper loop to the red

dot on the rewind tab. (See Figure 3A.)

Pass the leader behind the DAMPER

ROLLER and between the take-up

sprocket and clamp. Engage the per-
forations with the sprocket teeth and
close the clamp. Make sure that the
leader is against the damper roller.

Press down the loop-forming roller as
far as it will go and then release it. This
action will correctly position the upper
and lower loops. Turn the thread knob
to engage the pulldown claw in the
leader perforations. Figure 3 shows the
positions of the clamps, gate, and
leader after the loop-forming roller has
been pressed down and released.

For silent projection only: While the
projector is running, set the speed
selector at SILENT.

While the projector is running forward,
set the speed selector at SI LENT. Be
sure to turn the motor off momentarily
after changing from SOUND to SILENT
speeds unless the shutter has been

locked in the 3-blade position as shown

in Figure 8. (See KODAKSUPER-40

Shutter, page 10.)

NOTE: Project at SILENT speed;
rewind at SOUND speed, for
faster rewind.

Check Setup and

Run the Show

Turn the thread knob clockwise a few
times to check the threading. The pull-
down claw must engage the perforations
and the sprockets must feed the film.

The loops must be maintained in their
correct sizes. The leader should be taut
between the supply reel and the upper
sprocket.

Move the master control to MOTOR
(FORWARD) and see that the film is
running through properly; then move
the master control to LAMP.

Focus the image on the screen by
rotating the lens.

Turn the FRAMINGSCREW(Figure 4) to

eliminate any blank strip on the edge
of the next picture that shows at the
top or bottom of the screen image.

Adjust the volume control to provide
comfortable listening for the audience.

Focus the sound optics to get the best
quality of sound reproduction by mov-

ing the SOUNDFOCUSLEVERup or down.

See that the film is being taken up

properly.

For sound projection only: Check the

lower loop. If necessary, depress and

release the loop-forming roller. This can

be done with the projector running.
To operate the projector in reverse,

move the master control to REVERSE

MOTOR orto REVERSE LAMP. (Turn
the sound volume to a minimum to
avoid reverse sound.)

After the last frame of sound film has

been projected, turn down the volume.
This will eliminate the sounds that
occur when the end of the film is feed-

ing through the projector.

Rewinding

To rewind the film, attach its end to the

supply reel and move the reel by hand
a few turns counterclockwise to bind
the film. (See Figure 5.)

Make sure that the film is not twisted
between the reels.

Lower the rewind tab to its horizontal
position; the tab will block the film
channel.

Move the master control to the MOTOR
(FORWARD & REWIND) position.

Set the speed selector at SOUND; this
is necessary for full-speed rewinding.

After all the film has been rewound,
latch the rewind tab in the vertical
position and move the master control

to OFF.

After the Show

Following the projection and rewinding
of all reels of film that were shown:

Turn off the projector.

Unplug the power cord and fold it into
its storage space.

Raise the take-up arm slightly and
remove the belt from the take-up pulley,
guiding the arm to its storage position.
Swing the supply arm downward as far

as it will go.

Lower the projector by turning the
elevation control counterclockwise as
far as it will go.

Unplug the speaker cable and wind it
around its storage hooks.

Replace and fasten the projector cover.

Microphone •
Phonograph •
Tape Recorder

The projector can be used as a PA
system or to provide accompaniment
for silent films.

Before you use either the microphone
or auxiliary input on the projector, move
the sound-input switch to MICRO-AUX
(Figure 6).

Microphone-Insert the microphone
plug into the MICROPHONE RECEPTACLE.

Make sure the plug is in all the way.
The microphone volume is regulated
by the volume control. Adjust the tone
control to the desired position.

Phonograph or Tape Recorder-Connect
your record player (or tape recorder)
by inserting its output plug in the

AUXILIARY INPUT RECEPTACLE. The plug

must be in all the way. The output
volume is dependent upon the adjust-
ment of the volume control on the
projector. A comfortable operating
level for this input is 500 mV.

NOTE: The auxiliary input circuit

of the projector is high impedance
to match crystal orceramic phono-
graphic pickups; it will also accept
the output of a preamplifier, which
must be used if the phonograph
pickup is of the magnetic type.

The microphone input is designed
for use with a low-impedance
dynamic microphone.

Sound

Optics

The sound track can be on either sur-
face of the film, depending upon what
type of film is being used. Therefore,
focusing the beam of light from the
EXCITERLAMP(Figure 18) is extremely
important; it is accomplished by moving
the sound focus lever. This helps you
obtain the maximum crispness of
sound.

Figure 7 illustrates the proper position
of the beam for each of the two types
of film: one threaded with the emulsion
side on top and away from the sound
optics (A) and the other with the
emulsion side on the bottom and toward
the sound optics (B).

KODAK

SUPER-40 Shutter

The Model 250S Projector is equipped
with the SUPER-40Shutter (Figure 8),
which provides 40 percent more screen
illumination in the 2-blade position than
it does in the 3-blade position.

Action of the SUPER-40Shutter
At the 3-blade position (for silent

speed), there are fifty-four light inter-
ruptions per second. This position is
maintained by spring tension. The
tension counteracts the centrifugal
force exerted by a weight that is linked
to the two movable blades.

When the speed selector is moved to
SOUND, the additional centrifugal force
that results from the faster speed of
the shutter overc<?mesthe spring
tension. The movable blades rotate on
their axis and overlap in a position
opposite the fixed blade. Now the
shutter will operate in the 2-blade
position with 40 percent more screen
illumination.

Sound Speed-If the SUPER-40Shutter
in the 2-blade position provides too
much illumination, it can be locked in
the 3-blade position. When the projector
is operated at SOUND speed, the
shutter will automatically shift

(if not

locked) from the 3-blade position to

the 2-blade position.
Silent Speed-The SUPER-40Shutter

will remain in the 3-blade position if
the projector is started in SILENT
speed. If the projector is started in
SOUND speed and then shifted to
SILENT speed, the shutter cannot
return to the 3-blade position unless
the motor is stopped momentarily.

remove the cover. Turn the thread knob

until the SHUTTER LOCK (Figure 10) is
visible. Hold the thread knob to prevent

rotation of the shutter and, using a
screwdriver or similar object, push the
shutter lock down as far as it will go.

Replace the lamphouse cover and
tighten the screw. To unlock the shutter,
proceed as above, except that the
shutter lock must be moved up as far
as it will go.

NOTE: If a small image is projected-
especially in a darkened room-
the 2-blade shutter operation may
cause noticeable flicker, even at
SOUND speed. Locking the shutter
in the 3-blade position will usually
eliminate the flicker by reducing
the illumination somewhat and
increasing the light interruptions

to seventy-two per second.

Operating Tips

The perforations in the film should be
toward you as film comes off the bottom
of the supply reel. If they are not, the
film has not been rewound orwas
twisted while being rewound.

• If the gate is left open, the projected
picture will be out of focus.

• If the picture is unsteady, check the
upper and lower loops; these must be
maintained. The lower loop should not

touch the master control cover or the

loop-forming roller. The sprocket teeth
must show through the film perfora-

tions. Make sure that the gate and the

sprocket clamps are closed.

• If loss of lower loop occurs: threaded
for sound or silent pictures, page 6-

quickly press down the loop-forming

roller as far as it will go while the pro-

jector is running and then release the

roller; threaded for silent projection,

alternate method, page 8-stop the

motor immediately and re-form the
loops.

• If the projector is stopped during the
projecting of a reel of sound film, turn

the thread knob several revolutions

clockwise to take up any slack between

the lower sprocket and the sound drum.

• If

there is no sound, be certain that:

Speaker cord is connected.

The fuse is not blown.

Sound track is overriding edge of
sound drum properly and film is be-
tween the flanges of sound drum
pressure roller.

Exciter lamp is not burned out and is
seated on all three studs.

Sound-input switch is set at proper
position.

• If the sound quality is not up to par,

be certain that:

Speed selector is at proper position.
Film is snug around sound drum and

drum is clean.
Volume is not too high and tone control

is correctly adjusted.
Sound focus lever is adjusted for

correct sound optics focus.
Film sound track is of good quality and

clean.
Sound optics unit has been properly

seated after cleaning.

Screen • Lamp •
Lens Combinations

Proper selection of screen, lamp, and
lens for your particular setup is
important. The screen image should
be of adequate size and brilliance for
comfortable viewing. With the wide
variety of lenses available for your
PAGEANTProjector, you can tailoryour
equipment to meet this requirement.

The chart shows the relation between
projection distances and screen sizes
for each of the currently available
lenses. It is best to use a lens that
provides a screen image of a height
that is not less than one-eighth of the
distance from the screen to the back
row of seats. If the image is smaller
than this, the viewers in the back rows
will not be able to see the fine detail
in the pictures.

Make sure that the screen image is
neither too bright nor too dark. If it is
too bright, flicker may become objec-
tionable; if too dark, detail will be lost
in the shadow areas of the pictures.

Shown in the table are the maximum
image widths or heights for adequate
illumination on matte screens and on
lenticular or beaded screens with the
lamp set on HI. These maximum widths
or heights are for good projection
conditions in a darkened room; they
will have to be somewhat less if there is
much stray light in the room.

Replacing Projection
lamp and Cleaning
Projection lens

Projection Lamp: Loosen the lamphouse
cover screw and lift off the lamphouse
cover. (See Figures lland12.)

WARNING:

Projection lamps get

very hot in use. Make sure the

lamp is cool before you handle it.

Cooling can be accelerated by

running the projector without film
(with the lamp off).

To remove the LAMP,grasp it just in front

of the LAMPSOCKETand pull upward to
release the lower rim from the two
retaining hooks at the front; lower the
lamp from the RETAININGSPRING,but do
not unhook the spring. Then pull the

socket from the back of the lamp.

To insert the new lamp, reverse the
procedure given above. Be certain that
the socket is pushed completely onto
the connecting pins at the back of the
lamp and that the rim of the lamp is fully
seated on both of the retaining hooks on
the mounting plate. Avoid touching the
small bulb inside the lamp reflector.
If it is touched accidentally, clean it
with alcohol and a clean cloth.

It is recommended that a SPARE
PROJECTIONLAMPbe carried in the

projector lamphouse at all times.

Cleaning Lens: The projection lens

should be cleaned with care. Remove
the projection lens by drawing it out of
the lens holder. With a soft, lintless
cloth or KODAKLens Cleaning Paper,
carefully wipe the front and rear lens
surfaces. Do not use a wet cloth; if

moisture is required, breathe on the

lens or use a drop of KODAKLens
Cleaner.

WARNING:

The use of treated
papers or cloths can harm the
LUMENIZEDsurface of the lens.

Cleaning Film Gate

The film gate (Figure 13) should be
cleaned at frequent intervals. Because
of the rapid stop-and-go motion of the
film, particles of the emulsion lubricant
are eventually rubbed off the edges of
the film and lodged on the gate; this
can damage film.

Use care in removing or replacing the
gate; force is not necessary.

To retract the pulldown claw, turn the
thread knob until its white line is toward

you. Remove the.projection lens.
Open the gate and insert a clean CARD

or piece of paper to protect the polished
surfaces of the gate; then withdraw the
gate.

Use a soft, damp, lintless cloth to clean
the gate. If necessary, wrap the cloth
around a toothpick or matchstick to
clean the film track.

To clean the aperture, reach through
the projection-lens holder with a small,
soft brush and dust off the edges of the
aperture. Be careful not to chip off the
black coating on the edges.

Before replacing the gate, make sure
the pulldown claw is retracted. Then

guide the upper notched part of the
gate so that it bears against the under
part of the top hinge-retaining SPRING.

Push in on the gate tab to engage the

top and bottom hinges. .

Cleaning Sound Optics

Cleaning Sound Drum

Occasional cleaning of the sound optics
is recommended.

The sound drum, sprocket-clamp roll-
ers, and other rollers that come in
contact with the film should be wiped
occasionally with a soft, lintless cloth
to keep them clean. Dirt particles on
the inner edge of the sound drum will
interrupt the light beam and cause blips
and hum. To check for this condition,
remove the film and run the projector
in reverse.

Be su re that the power cord is not
plugged in. Remove the three master
control COVER SCREWS (Figure 14) and
the spacer that is on the screw nearest
the sound focus lever. Remove the
master control cover for access to the
sound optics and exciter lamp. With a
soft brush, dust the top and bottom
sound optics lenses. (Pull them out
slightly for easy access.) The SOUND

PICKUP (Figure 15) is just above the

upper lens and directly behind the
sound drum. The lower surface of this
pickup should be kept clean by using
a soft brush. Be sure the optics unit is
properly seated. Replace the master
control cover.

Oiling

All bearings are self-lubricating and
require no oiling.

Replacing Belts

Rewind

Belt-Disconnect the two ends
of the worn belt; connect one of these
ends to an end of the new belt, and pull
the new belt through. If the old belt is
not in position, feed the new belt into
the opening in front of the supply reel
arm. Guide the belt between the flanges
of the pulley until the end protrudes
from the opening in the top of the
housing. If the end of the belt hits the
housing, use a bent paper clip to guide
it. The belt should go through the BELT

GUARD (Figure 16).

Take-Up

Belt-If

possible, this belt
should be replaced by your service
representative. If such service is
unavailable, use the following pro-
cedure carefully. Remove the two upper
sprocket-plate retaining SCREWS and
the SPACER that is located behind the
retaining screw nearest the front of the
projector. Lift off the upper sprocket
and plate assembly. Remove the old
belt. Hold the new belt as shown in
Figure 17, and push the looped end of
the belt into the opening in the mech-
anism. Make sure that the STUD is
inside the loop. Continue to push the
belt downward until the looped end is
in the GROOVE next to the sprocket drive
gear. The belt should be flat in the
groove. With the belt in this position,
replace the upper sprocket and plate
assembly, holding it firmly in a down-
ward direction to engage the gears until
the retaining screws are tight.

Drive

Belts-These belts seldom need
replacing. If replacement is necessary,
the work should be done by your pro-
jector service representative.

Replacing Exciter Lamp

The exciter lamp (Figure 18) in this
projector operates at less than its rated
voltage. It should, therefore, have
extremely long life and should seldom
need to be replaced.

If the lamp must be replaced, remove
the master control cover as described
on page 16. Be sure that the power
cord is not plugged in. Push the exciter
lamp RELEASELEVERdown as far as it
will go. Turn the lamp counterclock-
wise and remove it.

Place the new lamp in the socket and
turn it until the large ends of the key
slots in the lamp base fit over the three
locating studs. The lamp will fit only
one way. Turn the lamp clockwise as far
as it will go. To lock the lamp in posi-
tion, raise the exciter lamp release
lever. Replace the master control cover.

Replacing Fuse

The fuse may be blown if the indicator

light (exciter lamp) fails to glow.
To remove the fuse, disconnect the
power cord, turn the fuse holder
counterclockwise by using a small
screwdriver, and withdraw the holder.
Replace the blown fuse with a fuse of
the value stamped on the amplifier
plate and replace the holder. If the
indicator light (exciter lamp) still fails
to glow, the problem could be in the
amplifier system. Consult a qualified
service representative to have the
amplifier repaired.
