3)
Don’t turn ON the camera by means of the power source unless control unit and remote control unit are set into
operational state;
4)
Turn OFF the ‘POWER’ switch of the control unit after finishing your job.
12.1. Start and stop of the camera
The camera can be run from remote control unit – button (170) (Figure 25), from control unit – switch (183) (Figure 26), from
hand support – button (162) (Figure 14). During test without film, the camera can be run from remote control unit or from hand
support if the button (191) (Figure 27) on the rear side of the control unit is pressed. Stop the camera by setting a switch to OFF
position or by releasing a button.
12.2. Controlling lenses
Focus a lens by rotating the ring (140) (Figure 19). Set an aperture by means of the ring (141). The diaphragm scale is marked
in effective relative apertures.
12.3. Using the heater
Connect a cables to the mounted heater accordingly to the Figure 10. Refer to the paragraph 5.5.5. Moreover, you can turn the
heater ON by means of the switch (230) (Figure 32) of the front side of the heater.
When the camera is ready for use, the heater is going OFF automatically. Since this moment and on, the hater maintains
operational temperature in the box automatically.
13. GENERAL MALFUNCTIONS AND THEIR SOLUTIONS
It is forbidden to:
1)
alternate the factory circuitry;
2)
replace broken parts with not approved ones;
3)
use an acid instead colophony during soldering.
If malfunction occurred that can’t be solved without special tools and specialists, the camera should be sent to a specialized
workshop for repair. Such malfunctions are:
1)
worn teeth of the camera kinematics;
2)
mechanical damages of the film channel parts;
3)
break of the claw mechanism;
Here is list of possible minor malfunctions.
Table 9.
Malfunction
Possible cause
Solution
Note
1. Film is too tight or too
weak
Wrong friction adjustment
Unscrew a locking nut of the friction,
take out a control bushing, and turn a
friction tension nut. Check the friction
operation.
Use the friction
checking
tool
(paragraph 14.1)
2. Friction lines and scratches
on the film during shooting
1. Scale on the work surfaces
of the film channel
1. Remove the scale by means of soft
cloth wet with 40-60% spirit solution
2.
Rollers
of
the
film
movement tract don’t rotate
2. Remove the rollers unscrewing their
screws. Wash the ball-bearings in
gasoline and lubricate them with oil
VNIINP-6.
3. ‘Salad’
Loose mag frictions
Tight the frictions by special spanner
4.
Bridges
between
perforation holes are crushed
at bottom part from side of
take-up core at 24, 48, 96 fps
Eccentric bushing of the claw
mechanism isn’t set into
’24,48,96’ position
Turn the bushing clockwise into
’24,48,96’ position
5. Unable to mount a film
reel onto feeding lug
Film counter lever isn’t
pulled away
Pull away the lever before mounting the
film reel
6. The motor runs 1-2 second
only
The lamp ‘BREAK’ is light
on the control unit and
remote control unit
Reload the camera
7. The camera doesn’t run,
the lamp ‘POWER’ isn’t light
No power
Charge batteries.
Connect a power source to the camera.
Wrong polarity of the feeding
power
Change the polarity
8. The camera doesn’t run
when
‘START’
button
The door of the camera isn’t
closed tightly
Close the door tightly
