I have an Elmo model FP-A projector but no power cord. Can anyone tell me which of the 4 pins in hot and which is ground? I know the other 2 are for synchro starting or some such thing. Thanks, Pat

I "Googled" the projector name & found service documents for it at: www.photobooksonline.com I hope this helps!! Jim

You are a teacher, and you don't know the difference between a chord and a cord ? Amazing. I think anyway you mean a lead - the one you require has a plug on one end to fit the projector, and a plug on the other to fit the camera. Look in the respective manuals.

yes, but i dont even have a cord yet. what cord should i buy?

You can very easily. You may use the S-VHS output on your Elmo ( a 4-pin DIN socket on the rear) going into the S-VHS input on your DVD player. You will need an S-VHS cord. Very cheap at Radio Shack or on Ebay. This gives the best quality. Our you can use the more familiar RCA composite video output (yellow socket) from the Elmo into the composite or auxiliary input on the DVD recorder.Be sure you have selected the proper input on your DVD recorder. Use a TV set as a monitor so you can see what you are recording.When I convert slides to DVD, I do a test run through the carousel to be sure the slides are all facing the right way, not upside down or backward.I set my Elmo timer on 5 seconds and let the carousel advance automatically. You may want to zoom in or color correct as you convert. In that case, pause your DVD recorder between slides, make your adjustments, then resume recording. This is called assembly editing. It works very smoothly and you get a better show,

I am going to bet you got a manual with the TT-02rx that explains the connectivity. If not, you can go to www.elmousa.com and download the manual from the TT-02rx page. Look on page 30.

TT-02rx can be connected in a couple of ways:

1. Directly to Projector - connect a standard VGA cable from the RGB output on the TT-02rx to a RGB (VGA) input on your projector. This will allow you to directly display anything you put under the Elmo camera.
2. USB to laptop, VGA from laptop to your projector. You can connect a standard USB cable from the Elmo to an open USB port on your laptop. From the laptop, you will need to connect VGA cable from output jack to projector input. To view images from the Elmo, you need to have installed the Imagemate software on your laptop first. Elmo can only be viewed thru the software interface.
3. The last option is run VGA from your laptop to VGA input on the Elmo. Then run VGA from Elmo to your projector. This offers the greatest amount of versatility as you can switch between the image on your computer screen and the image on the doc camera. Adding the USB cable as described in 2 above will also allow you to use the digital features such as image capture, reveal, spotlight, etc.

I am looking for an instruction manual to RE-assemble the lens of an Elmo projector FP-A. Can you help me? My email is d[email protected]

I would use a volt/ohm meter to test the bulbs, If they are known to be good, open up the projector and look for a fuse.

BTW- Elmo was purchased by Canon many years ago.

use the top left and right in the star pattern. looking at the 6 pin layout (center pin included), the pins at 10:00 and 2:00 are for the power.

There are 3 round knobs and 1 Autostart switch on the control panel. The key to rewinding this machine is by pushing the gray button down, while turning the Motor Knob to the "Run" position. Of course you'll need to start the original film back on its reel, directly. (Do not thread the film as you would normally.) BTW, you can show your films in reverse by using the Reverse button on the motor switch while its running. Hope this helps. Now, if I can find someone who can guide me in re-assembling my Elmo projector's lens, which I dis-assembled in order to clean the crud off the multi-lenses in the main lens unit itiself.

use another power cabel-dissconect from outlet and check for broken fuse-if everything is ok.change exposure lamp.
