I've recently purchased an In ceiling Othelloline Copernico 4 Format Screen where the masking screen didn't work.
I'm hoping to be able to repair this, the motor for the masking screen appears to be seized. We have stripped the motor out, checked the limit micro switches and they are OK.
We have wired the motor to 240v via a 2 way momentary switch, this allows us to power the motor in both directions, all we get is just a clonk and a little bit of vibration. We get the same result when it's wired to the screens controller board.
We have stripped the motor down, removing the limit switch section, also the gearbox, but have been unable to remove the actual motor from the tube - it may be glued in. Can anyone confirm this?
The motor is made by Almot (an Italian manufacture), model number is HES101, it also has XBIHES101 on the label, but Googling both of these doesn't return any results.
I'm going to email the motor manufacture, screen manufacture and the UK distributor, hopefully I'll get somewhere.
If anybody has any information or advice could you please let me know. We also need to know how to set up the limit sensors.
Motor label.
Dismantled motor - I forgot to take a picture of the whole thing, it has some large rubber sections each end which wedge into the screen tube.
Limit switches - anybody know the correct way to adjust these should I get it working?
