Important Safety Precautions
When using your equipment, basic safety precautions should
always be followed, including the following:
1. Read and understand all instructions before using.
2. Always use the correct voltage, as described on page 16.
Incorrect voltage can lead to malfunctions in the projector.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by
or near children, or others who may not understand the need for
the following precautions. Do not leave the projector unattend-
ed while in use.
4. Care must be taken as burns can occur from touching hot
parts. For lamp replacement let the module cool down before
touching the lamp and the surrounding area. Do not place the
lampmodule on heat sensitive surfaces (s. p. 21).
5. Do not operate projector with a damaged cord or if the
projector has been dropped or damaged - until it has been
examined by a qualified service technician.
6. Position the cord so that it will not be tripped over, pulled, or
placed in contact with hot surfaces.
7. Ifan extension cordisnecessary, a cord with a currentrating
at least equal to that of the projector should be used. Cords rated
for less amperage than the projector may overheat.
8. Always unplug the projector from the mains before cleaning
andservicing(e.g.lampreplacement) andwhennotinuse. Never
pull cord to plug from outlet. Grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
9. Let the projector cool completely before putting away.
10. The element of a hot projector lamp is impact-sensitive!
Avoid any impacts to the projector whilst it is running and
cooling down!
11. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse this
projector in water or other liquids.
12. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this
projector, but take it to a qualified service technican if service
or repair work is required. Incorrect reassembly can cause an
electric shock when the projector is used subsequently.
13.The use ofan accessoryattachmentnot recommendedby the
manufacturer may cause a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury
to persons. Only devices with safety-low voltage (SELV) are
allowed to be connected.
14. Connect this projector to a grounded outlet.
15. Keep air inlet (1) and air outlet (7) free from obstruction.

EKTAPRO Slide Projectors will be exported throughout the world to countries with
differing mains voltages. The projectors are already set during manufacture to a fixed
mains voltage.
Shipments to countries with 220, 230 or 240 V mains will be equipped with a T 2A L/
250 V fuse. A spare fuse for replacement is also supplied.
Before you switch on your projector ensure that the voltage is correctly adjusted! An
incorrectly adjusted mains voltage can damage the projector! The voltage indicator
(12) must show your country´s actual mains voltage!
WARNING
For safety, the mains lead must be unplugged!
1. Unlock the fuse link compartment (11) by using a screwdriver and pull
compartment out.
2. Push the fuse link (13) into the compartment so -
3. - that the applied voltage can be seen in the window (12) of the compartment.
.Push the loaded compartment (with mounting underneath) firmly into the
projector opening provided.

Traypositioning index mark
With the higher light ouput of the Extra
BrightLampModulethetemperature inthe
slide gate rises. To enable a smooth oper-
ation following hints should be consid-
ered:
1. Use only light respectively light gray
slide mounts (e.g. Wess slide mounts).
Slide mounts with only one dark side or
blackside have to besorted in respectively,
mounted with the side facing the lamp.
Please pay special attention when sorting
your slide mounts in rear projections:

Module - Important Hints
2. Donot usealamp typeEXW/15 h forthe
projector (higher temperature - lamp not
availablefrom Kodak).
Ifthese hints arenot considered,
mountsmaydeform!
3. Glassmounted slides canproducesweat
spots due to the high temperature in long
term projections. As soon as the slide has
warmed up these sweat spots disappear.
To reduce slide temperature (and light
output):
a) Install a heat-absorbing filter (see Ac-
cessories p. 22) or
b) install a 200 h lamp (see Accessories p.
22)
Projectorsareoften installedonracks where
tray installation may be difficult and only
possible from the rear of the projector. In
thiscasethetraypositioning indexmark (5)
on the back of the projector is very helpful:
Thetrayis properlysetwhen theindexmark
aligns with the mark placed on the tray (at
slide no. 20 of the 80 slide tray).
Note:
 To avoid annoying automatic refocus-
ing during presentation, damaged,
distorted or warped slides should not be
used as they may jam the projector`s
transport mechanism.
 A slide tray index (80 slides) for
copying can be found on page 84. This
is ideal for archiving and an index copy
can be made for each slide tray.
3. Place the loaded tray into its zero
position on the projectors transport ring
(18). The cleft in the slide tray (zero posi-
tion) fits on to the notch of the transport
ring.
2. Load the slides up-
side down for normal front
projection.
.Replace and lock the
cover to prevent damage
andsplittingin casethetray
is dropped or turned over.
1. Checkthat thebaseplateof theslidetray islocked
into zero-position and cannot be rotated.
