I have three Xetron XCN consoles that I want to setup for interlocking. At this point the only thing that has been done is there is a run of wire between the three projectors. I should be getting a portable accumulator and some portable rollers in a few days.

Information on running interlocking on these machines would also be helpful. I have never run interlocking before, but I've seen it done and I think I have a strong understanding of how it's supposed to work.

Several different automations have been installed in these consoles. Which one do you have?

Maxi 12XPC automation.

Justin, if you would send me an email address, (using the non-public feature here) I will send you an interlocking procedure document (pdf) I wrote for a theater I worked at. Some things will not exactly apply, but it shows several different examples of interlocking projectors with Maxi's. Some things that will differ are the number/placement and type of rollers you have, the general floor layout of your projection room, and how the installer wired up the automations. However, I think it will be a good guide to start with.
