The CANON AT-1 is the second camera using the revolutionary production techniques exd design expertise developed for the Canon AE-l. The AT-1 is a satch-needle full aperture uetering TTL brother to the micrscorputer equipped full autozatic AE-1l. It is identical im size and veight and uses many of the seme basic parts inclué:ng the cesplete shutter unit. A high sensitivity CdS replaces the SPC and MOS amplifier and exposure computation is mechanical rather than electronic. Electronic shutter timing and control is nearly identical to the 4&1. 4 repairman who has aastered the AE-) should have no diffi- culty with the AT-1 alter studying this service manual.SPECTFICATIONS 1.

Refer to figure 7 vhile reuding the explanation. Numbers , other than reference symbols indicate IC pin ausbers. LED 1 acts as a voltage regulator similar to s zener diode, therefore a set voltage, betveen 0 and Vbat is present vhenever SW2 is closed (R2 and LEDI form s voltsge divider). This LED Fegulated voltage is the oinus (-) input to comparator Cpl. The plus (+) input to Cpl is at the juncticn rultuge divi Re and Rb. This + input varies directly vith bactery voltage whereas the - input is fixed. As long as the + input is higher than the - input, the output of Cpl remains high (H) and is applied to the A input of NOR gate Ql. If the camera is vound then SW5 is closed putting a ground low (b)-faput on the invertor (NOT) resulting in an H output which is applied to the B input of Qt. Two H inputs on the NOR Qi result in e L output effecting a base bias on Tr2 turning it on. This applies the supply voltege El to the revelent circuits. Turning Tr2 on puts s B input on the A input of NCR Q2 which, slong with the H input already presont on the B input results in a L output. Therefore, even if the shutter button is released opening SW2 and cancelling the L output from Ql, Tr2 will remaic om until SW5 ig ‘opened by the 2nd curtain completeing its travel. Bl is the supply voltage for the first release circuit.2. Pirst Relcase Magnet (¥g2) Circuit (it is important to rezember that it is necessary to energize the electromagnet portion of the hybred magnet to release the magnet and start the exposure cycle.) Pig. 8 Mg2 is at Vbat as soon as C47y charges (approx. 0.1 sec.) and Mg2- is at EL since Trl is off. But full El is now applied to the comparator Cp2 + ard a somewhat lower voltage is applied to Cp2 ~ because of the voltage divider network. This causes a bigh (H) cutput from Cp2 vhich bieses Trl on. This drops the voltage at Mgz ~ allowing it to energize, releasing the permanent magnet and starting the ex;osure cycle. Simultaneously, current flow thru Trl turos on Tr3 suppling B2 voltage to the second stage circuits.3. Self Timer Circuit function of Cp2 is to provide the ten second self y. If SW7 is closed when E-l is applied the + input of ially lower than the - input and the output is low efore Trl is not turned on- until it surpasses the - delay ges the + input ri. input level. The values of B5 and C} are such that is ten seconds. F LED Oscillator Cp4 is « square e oscillator with alternating high ( H ) and low ( L ) outpa These ‘lations cause th 1g LED (LED2) to bling during the ten second delay ti: 4. Self Ti Pig. 10A voltage is supplied to the resistor connected to Co4 +. This voltage is greater than the voltage applied to Cp4 = which results in an H output from Cps (approx. +6V). This output is feed back thru Rt and charges C5. When the voltace exceeds the voltage at Cp4 + the output of Cp4 goes L and C5 discharges thru Rt until Cp4+ once agein exceeds Cp4 - to cause a positive output and repest the cycl As explained in secti three of t! lectronic circuit explaination, the self timer causes a ten second delay before Trl is turned on suppling E2 and releasing the first curtein. When Tri is off, TriC is at a high level and this H level is applied to NOR gate Q3. When 03 A is also bigh due to the square vave output of Cp4, Q3 is low causing a voltage drop across LED2 making it light. when Q3 goes low, the output goes high extinguishing the LED2 until Q3 A goes high again. When the second delay is over Tri is turned on and 03.5 goes low so the output remains high and LED2 no longer lights.JOIN UlWd3y LOSI-219 “ON'43Y L-1Va PREFACE i This Repair Guide is issued as a part of the Service Manual of the CANON AT-1 to insure the con’ pued hish quality of the product through correct repe:= Procecures, It contains five major sections, Int--duction, Disas- sembly, Assembly and Adjustnent, Troubleshoo=:ng Charts, Electrical Procedures, and Reference Charts er€ Diaqgrazs.

It features the same electronic shutter speed, magnetic release, and automated flash synchronization switching as the AE-1, but it uses match-needle exposure determination with an extended range (three terminal) CdS rather than fully automatic exposure control with an silicon photo diode light sensor. 1. This Repair Guide covers the points of the AT-1 which differ from the AE-2. Common procedures are not in~ cluded. Knowledge of the AE-1 and its Service litera- ture, including the AE-1 Repair Guide, Repair Manual, and General sections of the Service Manual plus relevant Technical Service Guides are necessary before repair of the AT-1 is attempted. 2.

When the mechanism is wound (film advanced) the power winder enable switch (SW 5‘) is opened and the shutter cocked/ready switch (SW 5) is closed. When the relezse switch (SW 2) is closed, ground is provided for the lew voltage comparator circuit (R2, LED1 and part of the IC). If the battery voltage is sufficient (57), and SW 5 is closed, An internal transistor in the IC is turned on and El (Ist release supply voltage) is present at pin 6 of the Ic. In normal operation £1 is applied instantly thru R5 (ima) to pin 3 (a compafator input) of the IC, For self tires operation, SW 7 is closed and R5 and C3 form a 1€ second delay circuit before the input is applied to the comparator. Tr-1 1s tursed on by the comparator output (pin 12) applied to its base. This effectively grounds the end of electromagnet coil cé the hybred magnet (%g2). The charge stored on C47u 18 discharged thru the magnet coil. The coil of the hybred permanent/electromagnet causing a. cancelling flux, releasing Mg2 which starts the shutter sequence. ‘The ground at pin 13 also turns on the second internal transistor and E2 (shutter timing supply voltage) is available and applied to the negative input of the comparator whoes output is pin 18 of the Ic. The comparator output (pin 18) goes low and current flows thru Mg} latching the 2nd curtain. The shutter sequence started by the release of Mg2 requires approximately 40 mS before the Ist curtain actually starts runing. When it starts the count switch (SW 4) opens.(12) The upening of SW 4 removes the short across Ct (the shutter timing capacitor) and it starts to charge thru the shutter tining resistors VRL and VRt. {13) As Ct charges to the predetermined level the + input ipin 17) to the comparatcr goes positive and the output (pin 18) goes high reducing the potential difference across Mg3 deenergizing it and allowing the 2nd curtain to run ending the exposure. (14) When the 2nd curtain reaches the end of its travel it opens SW 5 and closes SW 5°. Opening SW 5 renoves El {and £2) deactivating the shutter related circuits. (5) Closing sw S' applies a ground the power winder curcuit, if one is attached, allowing it to wind the firm and cock the shutter which returns the sequence to step no. 2. - SPEEDLITE 155A Operation step . 12A. If the 155A is mounted and charged, a control signal (ground) is applied at pir 14 cf the IC. When SW 4 cpens the current to charge Ct flows thru the fixed (1/60 sec.) from pin 15 rather than thru the variable shutter speed resistors from pin 16. ;x) z ora) way * 2 may m : dp “ (“| So eee ee eee OLING MIM 2,005 NOLIMS STGYNG NSQNIA WONOd ¢,SHS ——MDLIMS SSVTISU ¢ ENS.
