By setting this button to the RUN mode when the showend cue is sensed the automation will close the dowser turn off the lamp and the exciter supply and provide the auditorium functions selected on the function matrix for this cue The projector motor will continue to run until the film runs out and the failsafe drops When the Showend Mode is set to INTERMISSION and the cue is sensed the automation will execute all projector and house functions as well as stopping the motor The automation may be restarted manually or automatically through the use of an intermission timer after the intermission Interlock Feed Through BIG SKY Industries 1475 Park Ave Alpha NJ 08865 908 454 6344 As mentioned earlier the interlock buss is a pair of wires daisy chained between all the machines in the complex The buss consists of one signal wire and a ground The Interlock feed through button allows the operator to separate portions of the buss into smaller interlocked groups For example if you have 4 machines and wanted to interlock machines 1 2 and 3 4 to run 2 different prints you would turn off the feed through on machine 2 which would separate the output of machine 2 from the input on machine 3 This would effectively make 2 separate smaller busses If the complex is larger this may be done for multiple pairs throughout the complex The feed through indicator is on when the feed through is active Indicators The mode in which the automati
