Author Topic: Setting up interlocking on Xetron XCN consoles - Resolved Justin Hamaker Film God Posts: 2253 From: Lakeport, CA USA Registered: Jan 2004 posted 10-22-2009 09:29 PM                        I have three Xetron XCN consoles that I want to setup for interlocking. At this point the only thing that has been done is there is a run of wire between the three projectors. I should be getting a portable accumulator and some portable rollers in a few days. Information on running interlocking on these machines would also be helpful. I have never run interlocking before, but I've seen it done and I think I have a strong understanding of how it's supposed to work.  |  IP: Logged John Walsh Film God Posts: 2490 From: Connecticut, USA, Earth, Milky Way Registered: Oct 1999 posted 10-22-2009 10:30 PM                     Several different automations have been installed in these consoles. Which one do you have?  |  IP: Logged Justin Hamaker Film God Posts: 2253 From: Lakeport, CA USA Registered: Jan 2004 posted 10-22-2009 10:32 PM                        Maxi 12XPC automation.  |  IP: Logged John Walsh Film God Posts: 2490 From: Connecticut, USA, Earth, Milky Way Registered: Oct 1999 posted 10-24-2009 03:52 PM                     Justin, if you would send me an email address, (using the non-public feature here) I will send you an interlocking procedure document (pdf) I wrote for a theater I worked at. Some things will not exactly apply, but it shows several different examples of interlocking projectors with Maxi's. Some things that will differ are the number/placement and type of rollers you have, the general floor layout of your projection room, and how the installer wired up the automations. However, I think it will be a good guide to start with.  |  IP: Logged
