If anyone is familiar with the Eiki 550W Xenon 16mm projector, I am in need of info on the changeover circuitry. I found manuals on this unit but even tho the model number matches the projector I am working on, there is no reference to any changeover switch or connector, yet there is a changeover button and an escutcheon plate that says Change-Over. This switch does activate a dowser to open. I assume this projector could then be interconnected to a second identical projector and the changeover switch would inversely activate the dowser it.

I need to install a CLOSE switch in addition to the existing OPEN switch on this one projector so I can both close and open the dowser. Right now the light can only be extinguished by turning the lamp off.

There is a 5 pin DIN connector on the back of the unit. I am assuming the two projectors would be interconnected via this DIM connector in dual projector operation.

If anyone knows the pin-outs of this connector, I would appreciate it -- it would save a lot of troubleshooting time.
