Controls
Film Tension Push-button
Press the Film Tension Push-button to apply (or remove) tension to the film by applying (or removing) power to the spooling and compliance arm motors. The lamp in this pushbutton indicates the following status and actions. See Table I.
Table I Indications Given By Film Tension Push-button Lamp
Tension OFF – the compliance arms are in the film lacing/unlacing position, film (if laced) is NOT tensioned. This position must be selected before lacing or unlacing
film.
…with brakes ON. The spooling brakes are normally ON when tension is OFF to protect from film spillage if film is laced.
…with brakes OFF. If the brake pedal is pressed the brakes will be released. Although the backplates can now be rotated manually the spooling motors driving them
each offer gentle resistance to lacing. This aids film loading as it not only reduces slack in the film when laced, but also deters the user from winding the end of the film
onto the destination backplate in the wrong direction when lacing.
