Author Topic: Strong Auto Button Trey Signorelli Film Handler Posts: 3 From: Crowley, La Registered: Feb 2010 posted 07-17-2010 01:25 PM                        I have Strong Ballantyne Projectors. We are experiencing an issue when the film is over the lamp isn't turning off. We replaced the Auto Button recently, thinking this was the problems. Any ideas?  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 07-17-2010 01:27 PM                     Need more specifics, particularly the model lamphouse and what kind of automation you are running. Also does the projector keep running or does it stop?  |  IP: Logged Trey Signorelli Film Handler Posts: 3 From: Crowley, La Registered: Feb 2010 posted 07-17-2010 01:34 PM                        Its a Pro 85 and we have a SMART Cinema Showman 2  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 07-17-2010 01:55 PM                     PRO 35's - sounds like a stop relay for the lamphouse in the SMART unit isn't unlatching when the failsafe drops.  |  IP: Logged John Walsh Film God Posts: 2490 From: Connecticut, USA, Earth, Milky Way Registered: Oct 1999 posted 07-17-2010 02:36 PM                     As Brad mentioned,it might be helpful to also know the type of lamphouse. There is an issue with older Xetrons not shutting off if the roof exhaust air flow is too strong.  |  IP: Logged Trey Signorelli Film Handler Posts: 3 From: Crowley, La Registered: Feb 2010 posted 07-17-2010 03:26 PM                        Is the Super Highlight the lamphouse?  |  IP: Logged Joseph Palladino Film Handler Posts: 16 From: new Egypt, N.J. USA Registered: Feb 2007 posted 07-17-2010 03:45 PM                     Strong Auto Lamp Button I remember having a problem when first replacing one in a Srong Highlight console. If you happen to reverse the switch when you install it the contacts are switched.As one side normally open other side normally closed.So with button in it's actually on lamp manual instead of automation control.  |  IP: Logged
