Before connecting YOUI' proiector to the mains

Be,for,e the proje'ctor to the mains, please referto your electricity meter to check up on your mains supply.The EUMIG P 8 AUTOM,ATIC "NOVOII will ope-rate onlyon 11 Q.--220 volt (110-240 A. C. (50--60 cycles). Thevoltage selector A (Fig. 4) above the rna-ins socket is nor­mally set to 220 volts. If you do not have 220 volt current,you must adjust the voltage selector by f'urning it until thecorrect voltage is opposite the wh ite dot Before you reset thevoltage selectnr, you must disconne-ct the mains lead. Nowswing out both spool arms as indicated (Fig. 4).

You can now connect the P 8 AUTOMATIC "NOVO" to themains by inserting the female plug of the- mains lead suppliedinto socket B (Fig. 4). Ple'ase notice the connection for roomlighting C (Fig. 4). We suggest that you connect a table lampor small stondord lomp tn socket C. The lamp goes out auto­matically when the projector is switched on and comes onaga,in when the projector is switched off.

Set the speed control 0 fully to the right (maximum speed)and switch on motor and projection lamp at the' same t'imeby means of switch E (Fig. In order to obtain thecorre,ct running spe,ed, shift control D as far to the, I,eft aswill be possible without any flicker appe,aring in the pro­iect'ed image.

Switch F operates the forward-reverse mechanism. There ismore about this on Page 14 "Reverse projection".

The two scre'w feet G are for tilting the projector.

In order to comply with regulations in various countriesregarding the earthing of electrical appliances, the P 8AUTO,M,ATIC "NOVO" is provided with an earth socket

Your EUMIG P 8 AUTO,MATIC "NOVO" projector has been fitted w,ith 0 12 V100 W iodine-quartz lamp in our works. Should you need to fit a new lamp:

1. Lift off the cover of the lamp housing (Fig. 6) and pull out the cover plate atthe' side (F'ig. 7). The lamp can then be re'moved.

Warning! The' lamp becomes ve'ry hot durin,g use, and the' glass will thenbe a reddish-blue colour. When changing the lamp, wait until it has cooledoff and this colour has faded away.

2. Take the new lamp from its packing, leaving the p1rotective sleeve in place,and fit it into the projector so that the two locating pins (which carry thepower supply) are pushed firmly home. Remove the protective sl,e,eve, takingcare not to lo:osen the lamp in its holder.

Im,po:rtant: The la,mp glass m'ust not be touche,d with the' bar;e fing,ers, as tracesof the subst'ances secreted by the skin will then be baked onto the surface,shortening the' life of the lamp and reducing its light output. If the surface istouched accidentally/it should be wiped clean immediately with a clean ragdipped in spirit.

3. Repl'Oce the cover of the lamp ho,using (Fig. 8) and push the side cover platein enough to I'eave the' two lamp-centring screws A and B visible (Fig. 7). Scre'wA shifts the lamp along its optical axis, while screw B provides sidewaysadjustment.

4. Switch on the projector and turn screW A with 'a coin or screwdriver until thelamp filament' can be clearly se'en on the, projection scre'en as a series of darkbors. Use scre,w B to move the lamp side1ways until the, image of the' filamentis evenly spread allover' the' screen; then turn screw A again until the barsdisappear completely leaving the scre1en evenly illuminated.

5. Push the cover plate home.This centring operation needs to be carried out only once for each lamp.

New EUMI1G automatic film· thre·ading on the P 8 AUTOMATIC IINOVO"

Automa!tic thre·ading f'ight ontOI the· talke-up spool

Having trained your P 8 AUTOMATIC "NOVO" on the screen and set the projector tothe correct height, you can proceed to thread the film. An error-free functioning of theautomatic threader is only then guaranteed when the film end has been properly prepared,that is, trimmed in the correct way. Fig. 9 shows how the correctly trimmed film end shouldlook like. Take good care that the perforaHon C is not damaged by the trimming.

NOTE: For the preservation of your valuable film we recommend the splicing on of along leader. As, for a perfect functioning of the automatic threader it is essential to havean absolutely straight end to the film, creased or half-torn film ends must be cut off ormade perfectly smooth.

Fit the 'automatic spool' onto the spool-arm. The peg on the spool-arm should engage inthe hole in the' spool centre, and the key on the peg ·will fit into one of the t'hre1e, radi,alslots. These slots are provided on one side of the 'automatic spool' only, so that it cannotbe fitted the wrong way round. Now unhinge the threading lever of the supporting knobwhich is on the proje1ctor casing and move' the same downwards in arrow direcf'ion sothat it meets the spool cente'r (Fig. 10).

Take care that the slider E (Fig. 24, page 15) is on the upper stop; this position preventslateral sliding of the film out of the threading lever.

From this mom,ent onward, the automat'icthreader takes charge' of all further film manipulation. In case itw'as forgof't.en to set lever C to the correct pO's'ition and the filmhas already enga'ged in the automatic threoder, all hat is ne,ces-sary is to switch to "reverse" (slee "Reverse on

The film then disengages from the autom,atic mechanism. Afterhaving set lever C to point D, the film may be re-inserted in theautomatic threader.

NOTE: Films that have come back from pro­cessing will usu1a,lIy wind off as shown in Sketch I(Fig. 11) on their first run the projector. Inthis particul'Or case, reverse' proje1ction, described on

14, is impossible as the film would not bewound on to the take-up Only when the filmhas be'en run through once normally and sub­sequently rewound will it come off the spool insuch a way (see Sketch II, 11) that revelrse pro­jection is possible.

After the film hlas hitched automatically at the take­up spool, turn the lever C to the' left (F,jg. 13).This locks the film transport and frees the loopswhich have been formed the automatic threader.

Fig. 13

The P 8 AUTOM,ATIC "NOVO" can alsO' be thre'aded by hand. This may be necessary when it is desired to proje'cta piece of film somewhere in the middle of the spool. For this purpose, first unscrew the automatic threader (seeFig. 2, Page 4, for position of this screw), next' unwind a sufficient length of film, open the' g'ate' by turning lever Adownwards (see Fig. 14), thre!ad the' film and close the g'ate by moving the iever back. Do not put the' gat'e-openinglever completely over to the right - this would switch on the rewind mechanism.

After the loop has been shaped by following the- line indicated on the side' of the projector, the film is led pastthe feed sprocket. Pull gently as indicated in Fig. 15, and the perforations will be engaged by the teeth of thefeed sprocket. Lead the film past the take-up sprocket in the same way (see' Fig. 16). Then le'ad the film under theguide ro.lfers and fix to the spool on the' take-up arm -- if it is the- beginning of the film which is being thre'adedAt the rear of the projector is the knob for manual ope ration of the projector mechanism (Fig. 21, Page 14). Thisfeature enables you to ensure before showing your film to an O'udienc:e that the dow is transporting the filmcorrectly.

The' P 8 AUTOMATIC "NOVO" is now ready forprojection. Switch on by means of switch E, as de­scribed in "Automatic threading of the film" onPage 10. The table lamp connected to the projectorwil immedia~ely go out. First determine the desiredscre,en picture size by holding the lens with the lefthand, by the knurled ring, while the right hand isgrosping the front rim (the ring be,aring the in­scription) and pulling out the tube in the directionof the projection. Then focus by rotating the lens tothe right or left. Picture size and focus are, ofcourse, also adjustable during projection. Adjustthe running speed if neC8ss'ary with the speedcontrol A (Fig. 17) until all flicker disappears.

NOTE: During the short time taken by the auto­matic threading of the film, the projector noise isslightly louder than during the actual projection.In order to pro,tect the film, a speci,al gold-glassheat absorbing filter is automotically interpos'edbet'ween the lamp and the film when the projectoris switched on, remaining in position until the nor­mal speed has been reached. This filter is alsointerposed as soon as the speed drops to below10 frames per second.

If parts of two frames are' shown on the sere'en,turn knob B until this fault disappears.

If you are expecting guests, it is advisable to have a trial run to make anynecessary adjustments for picture size, focus, speed and framing. Then aH youhave to do is to switch on the At the end of the performance, youswitch off the projector, and the table lamp will automatically come onFig. 18 shows the relationship between picture size and screen distance whenusing the focal lengths range of the EUPRO-ZOOM lens (15-25 mm.).

Visible reverse pro'iection

The P 8 AUTOtMATIC "NOVO II also permits reverse projection. To switch overfrom forward to reverse, simply move switch A (Fig. 19). There is no need toswitch off the projector beforehand. During the short t:ime the film slowsstops, and begins to run a shutter automatically cuts off the light toprotect the film from damage. This moves out of the optical path again once thefilm has reached the requi,red running speed. After switching from forward toreverse projection or vice versa, it may be necessary to readjust the fr'aming.

Still proiection

Still projection serves for obseirving individual frame's of a film. In this case,back switch B as shown in Fig. 20. This automatically introduces the specialgoldgl,ass heat filter into the system, noticeable by the drop in the pro-jected image brilliance. On to still proje,ction, the rotating projectorshutter may occasionally stop in front of the film gate and so obscure the pic­ture. In that case, turn knob C 21) at the rear of the projector until ther"O,r'IIIIt"a.rl fr'ame appe'ars on the scre,en. This knob also serves to move the filmforward and backward, frame for selecting any particular single frame.

Rewinding

is a very simple and with the EUMIG P 8AUTOMATIC "NOVO" as the proie-clor has power rewind.You will find this a great with the large 400 ft. re-e,ls.When the trailer has complete,ly run through, lelad the filmdirectly from the take-up to the feed spool and fix it to thelatter. Then 'turn lever D as for forward as it will go, whichcouples the rewind me,chanism, and the film will be rewoundquickly. When is almost complete, it is ad'VISI(]Olle

to reduce the spe'ed means of the motor control.For rewinding, sw'itch A must be s,et to "Forward". Shouldyou have set it to "Reverse" by mistake and on therewind mechanism, the projector motor will run, but the take­up spool will not revolve.

If you des,ire to rewind in the middle of theat first press the slider E in the di-rection of the' arrow. Thentake off the a'Utom~atic open the gate,remove the film from the fie;ed andtake-up sprockets marked "XII.

then is it as decribe-dabove.

NOTE: Before re-setting the automatic the slider Emust again be into its initial position.

If you should have occasion to replace' one of the wire drive belts A, or B, first of 'all put the gate-opening leveras far over to the right as .jt will go, as if you were' going to rewind.To replace the drive belt (, first set' the! still proje'ction lever to "Still". You can now fit the helt, putting it first overthe uppe'r and then over the' low'er roller.

Caire, alnd maintena:nce of the P 8 AUTOMATIC "NOVO"

Keep the projector scrupulously clean, e'speci,ally thoseparts that come into contact with the' film. First unscrewthe automatic threader'. To facilitate cleaning the,gate',the lens mount can be swung out to the right by turningthe g'af'e-opening lever after having disconnected themains lead. Both the gate and the interchangeable lensmus;t be de'aned from time tOI time, 'with a soft doth orbrush. Any dirt' or film dust should be re,moved f'rom the'gate, with a wooden skewer or' some such object'. Ple'asedo not 'use, any meral ohje,ct' for this purpose -it wouldscratch the gate, and thus damage your fi.lms.

Ke,ep your films alw'ays clean I This prevents to the best'e'xoe'ssive spoiling of the above' mentioned parts. Me'ansfor cleaning available with your photographic de'aler.The projector has, life,-Iong lubrication and it requires noattention whatsoe,ver in this respect.

If necessary, the motor carbons can easily be removedfor cleaning. Simply loosen the screw of the lowe,r carbonon the base of the projector with a coin. In orde'r to re­move the upper carbon, loosen first the locking screw(Fig. 3, page 5) and open the, side wall of the projector.
