Special-Application
Receptacle
The special-application receptacle allows additional external control and programming capability. It provides 22.5 V low-voltage power isolated from the main power line.
Use this receptacle for:
- automatic "return-to-zero" devices (models A and E Plus)
- a low-voltage power supply
- a dark shutter switch
The receptacle accepts 8-pin plugs and DIN-type plugs with 3 or 5 pins at 180°. (See "Appendix A" for contact identification descriptions.)
Important
All equipment, cables, and connectors used with the special-application receptacle must be assembled by qualified electronic personnel All circuits connected electrically to the projector through this receptacle must have a rating of not more than 30 V (rms) and must comply with Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., low-voltage, limited energy circuit requirements.1

Single Slides
To project single slides, slide the power switch to a half- or full-lamp position. Remove the tray and insert a slide upside down into the projector gate. Push the slide all the way down.
After viewing the slide, press forward, reverse, or the select bar to eject the slide.
Selecting Slide
Projection Lenses
When buying a lens, consider features such as focal length (measured in millimetres), aperture (designed as an f/stop), and the lens design (curved or flat).
When selecting a lens, remember that the shorter the focal length (i.e., the smaller the f/number), the brighter the projected image. Also, a curved-field lens, in combination with cardboard open face mounts from an automated mounting process, provide superior projection quality. A flat-field lens is the best choice for glass-mounted slides.
