Maintenance
• Remove the magazine throat assembly . The
gear drum and film channel will become visible.
• Possibly emulsion or film scraps are in the interior.
Clean carefully.
Under no circumstances blow substances
away!
Remove deposits from the film with The ARRI plastic
film track cleaning rod or with a paper towel and
some spirits.
Under no circumstances remove deposit from
the film with metal tools!
Mounting
• Replace the magazine throat assembly. Only one
mounting orientation is possible: pay attention to the
form. Push the assembly to lock in.
• Replace the screws. Tighten the first screw completely
before screwing in the second screw.
The torque of the screws has no influence on the image
sharpness or adjustment of the film channel.
Replacing the Lens in the TC-Magazine Re-
cording Unit
Strong scratches on the lens of the recording unit cause
the light to scatter. The lens on the recording unit should
be replaced by the ARRI Camera Service department.
Replacing the Glass Window
Large scratches on the gate for the film end sensor on
16SR 3 magazines could prevent the film end sensor
from functioning. The glass window should be replaced.
• Replace the frame with the glass window.
• Check function.
Flange Focal Distance
The flange focal distance should be checked after every
change from Normal 16 to Super 16, or when optimal
sharpness could not be attained during the sharpness
test. When using the compensation adapter for the 41
mm bayonet, the depth gauge A 16 SR-18 for the
ARRIFLEX 16 SR II can be used. The measure-ment for
the PL-mount is however more accurate.
