Mains
supply
voltage
Take
the projector out
of
its
case
and
check that the operating switch 20
is
on
"Stop."
Before
commencing
operations,
it
is
necessary
to
find
out
the
voltage
of
the
local mains supply.
As arule,
this
voltage
is
already
known.
If
this
is
not
the
case,
the
electric
light
bulb
in
the
room
in
which
the
projector
is
to
be used
should
be
unscrewed;
the
mains
voltage
will usually be found
marked
somewhere
on
the
bulb, in
volts
(or
"V").
A
better
method
is
to
examine
the
nearest
electric
light
meter,
on
which
precise
information
about
the
type
of
current
supplied-which
will
be
either
alternating
(A.C.
or
~)
or
direct
(D.C.
or
=
)-and
the
mains
voltage
(in volts) will
be
found.
However,
the
best
way
of
checking
the
mains
voltage
is
to
use
a
volt-
meter,
as
this
has
the
added
advantage
of
keeping
the
operator
informed
about
any
fluctuations
in
the
mains
supply
which
might
affect
the
running
of
the
projector.
The
Motor
15
is
of
the
"uni-
versal"
type
and can
run
on
any mains
whose
frequency
is
comprised
between
oand 60
periods/sec.
M8
If
the
mains
voltage
does
not
exceed
125
volts,
Model
M8
projectors
can
be
connected
directly
to
the
mains supply,
no
matter
whether
the
cu
rrent
is
alternating
or
direct.
If
the
mains
voltage
is
higher
than
125
volts,
an
auxiliary
transformer
(A.C. only)
or
resistance
(A.C.
or
D.C.)
must
be
used
between
the
mains
supply
and
plug 16.
Three-conductor
flex
The
power-input
socket
(2) can be
connected
to
a
three-phase
attachment
plug
(grounding).
On
request,
the
Paillard-Bolex
Agent
or
your
Bolex
Dealer
will
supply
a
three-conductor
flex
and
a
special pin. This
latter
should
be
screwed
into
the
hole
"0"
of
the
socket
(see fig.).
In
countries
where
grounding
is
advisable, use
the
th
ree-cond
uctor
flex.

wheth-
er

Having

Fuses
Before
connecting
up
the
projector,
inspect
the
fuses in
the
projection
room's
mains
supply
circuit
and
check
that
their
rating
is
high
enough
to
withstand
the
current
taken
by
the
projector.
M8
When
fitted
with
a
500-watt
lamp,
the
projector
consumes
550 VA, i.e.
approximately
550 watts
of
electrical
power.
If
the
projector
is
the
only
apparatus
drawing
power
from
the
circuit,·
afuse
with
a
rating
of
at
least
6
amperes
will
be
sufficient.
However,
if
any
other
apparatuses
or
lights
remain
switched
on
while
the
projector
is
in use,
the
additional
current
drawn
by
them
will have
to
be
taken
into
account
in calculating
the
fuse
rating.
E.g.
:Voltage
of
mains
supply
110
volts.
Power
taken
by
M8
projectors
550 VA,
or
approx.
Power
taken
by
other
apparatuses
in
circuit.
Total
power
consumed.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
1050
watts
The
fuses
fitted
should
have a
minimum
rating
at
least
as high as
the
value
obtained
when
the
total
power
consumed
is
divided
by
the
mains
supply
voltage.
In
the
example
just
quoted,
a10-ampere fuse
would
be
required
(1050
divided
by 110).
M8R
The
minimum
fuse
rating
can
be
calculated
in
the
same
way
as in
the
case
of
the
M8
projector.
The
only
alterations
that
must
be
taken
into
account
are
those
that
affect
the
mains
supply
voltage
and
the
projector's
power
consumption.
E.g.
:
Voltage
of
mains
supply
220 volts.
Total
power
consumed
1100 VA,
or
about
1100
watts.
The
minimum
fuse
rating
should
be
at
least
5amperes (1100
divided
by 220).
In
this
case, a
standard
6-ampere
fuse
would
prove
sufficient.
