Title: Sinar Digital Shutter problem
Post by: eddysmit on November 25, 2010, 07:23:01 am
Hi,
I have bought 2 Sinar Digital shutters on ebay. They are selled "as is"...
Not mentioning that one set is missing a lot of screws  >:(
However, both switch on and shutter time and diaphragm is working.
But the shutter blades are closed and stay closed when the shutter is tripped.
I can hear and see a mechanism winding the shutter and hear a click when the shutter trips.
444 44 shows up in the display and the whole unit resets.

What I'm doing wrong? Or what can be the problem?
Is there a service manual of this shutter? I'm used working at mechanical shutters.

Thanks.

check out the service manuals atwww.image2output-support.com (http://www.image2output-support.com)
best to download the pdfs as they can be quite large

Edwin,

thank you for this link.
I have been looking under service manuals and shutters.

Page 905 explains the digital shutter what I'm looking for.
However, this chapter is missing  >:(

I think your right although the manual is a bit scrappy in this area with pagination as its made up from other documents
I'll check with a hard copy when I can and let you know if there is any more
regards
Edwin

So it really is missing and now no longer available, there are no supporting spare parts for it from Sinar any more.
sorry
Edwin

No problem Edwin.
I'll try to fix it without the service manual.

Thanks for your time and the very good link.
Happy Christmas and many happy photo shootings in 2011.
