Author Topic: Remote fader for CP 65 Mike Carro Film Handler Posts: 67 From: Tempe, Az USA Registered: Nov 1999 posted 11-15-2005 06:24 PM                        I'm looking for the best or most used remote fader for a CP 65 I have a Cat 122 but it had an extra switch on it that someone fabricated and I'm not sure how to hook it up or of the fidelity. Any help would be appreciated  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA.

All you really need, though, is a 100K linear potentiometer, which is a standard part, available at electronics suppliers (and Radio Shack).  |  IP: Logged Sam D. Chavez Film God Posts: 2153 From: Martinez, CA USA Registered: Aug 2003 posted 11-15-2005 09:47 PM                       Dolby never made a fader specific to the CP55 or 65. A vendor in England made a full feature remote but these are hard to come by. Either the Cat. No. 122 or 123 box will work fine. There are instructions in the manual on how to wire either to your processor, but in essence the box is a 100K linear pot. The switch is probably a changover switch someone added.  |  IP: Logged Peter Hall Master Film Handler Posts: 314 From: London, UK Registered: Dec 2000 posted 11-17-2005 10:09 AM                        HI We have both SA CP55 and CP65 remotes in stock - all used but fair. Email me for pix or I think there are some on our web site (some however are sold). You can use a pot and switches, and LEDs with resistors if you want to make something up..  |  IP: Logged Mike Carro Film Handler Posts: 67 From: Tempe, Az USA Registered: Nov 1999 posted 11-17-2005 03:53 PM                        Okay, thanks for all your help.  |  IP: Logged System Notices Forum Watchdog / Soup Nazi Posts: 215 Registered: Apr 2004 posted 01-03-2012 05:56 PM                 It has been 2238 days since the last post.  |  IP: Logged Mike Carro Film Handler Posts: 67 From: Tempe, Az USA Registered: Nov 1999 posted 01-03-2012 05:56 PM                        Forgot about this and now want to install it. I couldn't find anything in the manual. The Fader box has 1,2,3,4 and the back of the CP65 has C,E,B,A,D. So what goes where? thanks  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

If you look over to right side of that diagram (the full size one, not the snippet you have shown) you will see how to connect just the Cat 122. 1 = A 2 = B 3 = D 4 = E D and E light up the LED when it is active. -Steve  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-03-2012 09:28 PM                     Sound Associates in the UK used to make a great remote  |  IP: Logged Christos Mitsakis Expert Film Handler Posts: 242 From: Ag.Paraskevi, ATHENS, GREECE Registered: Sep 1999 posted 01-04-2012 07:12 AM                     As Steve said...  |  IP: Logged Mike Carro Film Handler Posts: 67 From: Tempe, Az USA Registered: Nov 1999 posted 01-05-2012 09:40 AM                        Doh!
