Collapsible core:
Slide the film head into the opening of the collapsible
core. The film head should be pushed a little past the
metal tongue of the clamp lever. If the film head is
pushed to far into the collapsible core, unwanted
noise may be heard.
Lock the clamp lever. Ensure that the film is clamped
straight and at the right height. If the film is clamped
at a slant or too high in the collapsible core, un-
wanted noise may be heard.
Core holder:
Place the core adapter on the film core, paying
attention to the direction of the slot (picture left).
Place the film head in the slot.
With a fingernail, smooth out the film where it
emerges to avoid uneven movement of the guide
roller arm.
Feed with the gear approximately 5 revolutions
clockwise until the film is sitting securely.
The film can be secured on the core holder or the clamp
core before placing this on the shaft.
Final Tasks
Carefully place the guide roller arm on the film roll.
Ensure that the guide roller is centered, and guides
the film on both sides.
Carefully tighten the film between the clamp core and
the gear: hold the gear firmly and turn the core holder
further.
Clamp core: turn the gear by hand a few revolutions
further. Loosen the clamp on the clamp core. Carefully
push on the film reel to ensure that the film reel is
sitting at the correct height. Retighten the clamp.
Turn the gear a few revolutions further by hand,
checking the even movement of the guide roller arm.
If using TC-magazines set the sensitivity: turn the
desired value upwards. See the table, chapter 12.
Close and lock the magazine cover.
Ensure that the magazine cover is closed and locked.
Check the counter on the magazine. The white
indicator must be visible, otherwise the guide roller
arm is not locked. The counter now shows the amount
of unexposed film on the feed side.
Hang the film loop between the 4 guide pins
(2 shaped as claws).
Center the film loop in the direction it will run.
Attach the loop protector.
