Simplex APOGEE, Instruction Manual And Parts List

Page: 10 / 63

INSTALLATION
EACH SIMPLEX APOGEE PROJECTOR is carefully inspected and film-tested before
leaving the factory. Carefully inspect the unit on receipt for any shipping damage, and file any damage
claims with the carrier immediately. It is the responsibility of the
consignee, not Strong International or its
dealers, to file such claims.
THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATIONS should be studied carefully prior to installa-
tion. Even if received mounted and prewired to a Strong console, it is advisable to review and inspect the
following steps prior to energizing the system. Your Strong International Dealership may wish to assist in
installing those projection booth products supplied by their firm.
UNPACKING
The Simplex Apogee projector is shipped in a sturdy wooden crate. TOP and OPEN THIS SIDE are
marked on the carton. The projector is mounted to the base of the crate with (2) 5/16-18 hex head screws.
An accessory kit is shipped with each Simplex Apogee projector. The kit includes the following:
(1) Can Simplex Projector Oil
(1) Oiler
(1) Set Allen Wrenches
The tools and accessories are required for adjustments and routine maintenance after installation. Store
them in a secure location in the projection booth.
MOUNTING
Mount the Apogee to the mounting arm on the front of the console or pedestal. Some consoles will
require spacer block(s) to position the projector’s picture aperture at the correct working distance; see the
console installation instructions. Start the top two bolts, through the washers and spacer block (if required),
into the back of the main frame casting. The projector can then be lifted into place, and the top two bolts into
the casting lowered into the slotted holes in the projector mounting arm. In this manner, the mounting arm
will bear the weight of the projector while the two bottom bolts are started.
To avoid crossthreading, the 3/8-16 mounting bolts should be screwed in fingertight as far as possible.
Before tightening the bolts, check that both the lamphouse/console and projector are on the same, level plane.
Terminals for the drive motor power leads are provided in the projector control cabinet. See the following
section detailing Electrical Connections.
