Checks & Adjustments 3:1
Camera body 203FE - 205FCC - 205TCC Link to: VHABSTS
1. The camera body focal length is checked by using the gauge V-2229 together with the ruler
and indicator clock. The focal length is 71.40 mm ± 0.03 mm. Adjustment slots on the
chassis and the bottom mechanism plate.
2.* Secure the camera in the gauge V-2229 by the adapter 904759. Check the 45º
mirror angle with the sighting tube. The image seen, should be symmetrical. Adjust, if
necessary, the four supports in the mirror box by using the tools 901046 (front supports)
and 904018 (rear supports).
3.* Check the flatness of the screen. Use the screen adapter V-4705 and the ruler with the
indicator clock. The same measurement should be obtained at all four corners.
Adjust, if necessary, by the four screws (Pos No. 28, page 15).
4.* After the screen is correctly levelled the height must also be checked. Use the collimator
V-4151, the screen adapter V-4705 and the microscope V-2236.
The image seen in the microscope should be the red line central between the two green lines.
Recheck the flatness.
5. Use the tool 902658 or V-2075/2151 for checking of the front key angle. Adjust if necessary.
Cocked position 8° - 9° 3 Ncm. Overtravel 12° - 14° 14 Ncm.
6. Temporarily fit the control panel to the camera body and secure it with a piece of tape.
Use the nut driver 903755 or 903474.
7. Connect the camera body to the Service Test System and go through all checks in the
given order according to the 203/205 menu. Note! pos. 7:1 to 7:7 without sensor head
and light source.
7:1 CAMERA STATUS. Make sure all switches are working properly.
Note! The speed ring in C-position.
If the contact flex has been removed at any time, the timing between the pre-release switch
(PRS) and the mirror must be checked.
Mount the test shell, 905002, with four screws. Fit the exposure gauge V-2354 in the release
button and slowly rotate the micrometer clockwise and observe when the mirror is released.
At the same time (not before) the PRS should change from "open" to "closed" on the screen.
A slight delay is acceptable. This corresponds to 1.5 divisions on the scale.
Adjust, if necessary, by altering the position of the rear section of the contact flex
Revision 3 February 2000
Checks & Adjustments 3:2
Camera body 203FE - 205FCC - 205TCC
containing the PRS. Untighten the two screws (Pos. No. 12, page 9) and carefully
change the position of the flex in the direction required. Tighten the screws and
recheck.
7:3 SPEED RING. Make sure all speed ring settings are indicating correctly.
7:4 DISPLAY. Check the display indications. Note! To get the flash indicator to light up,
the sync cable must be connected.
7:5 CURRENT. Check the consumption (max. 10 mA at 5.6 volt) and the drain (max.
20 uA at 5.6 volt).
7:6 LENS. Check the communication between a lens and the camera body. (F-stops)
7:7 MAGAZINE. Check the communication between a magazine and the camera body.
7:8 SHUTTER. Start by adjusting the travel times. Use 1/2000 sec. and adjust the spring
housing until both curtains have a speed between 9.5 - 9.7 ms. (0 ± 0.07 ms).
At this point, also make a final adjustment of the braking mechanism if necessary.
The brake is checked as follows: Release the camera. Rotate the 2nd shutter gear
(Pos No. 25, page 17) and count the number of times the catch (Pos No. 4, page 18)
and the brake plate (Pos No. 3, page 18) engage. (Min. 4 times). For an adjustment
use the nut driver 903755 or 903474. (See page 3:4).
Check/adjust the speed 1/2000 sec. Use the "shutter speed" potentiometer for
an adjustment. (See page 3:4). Max. deviation ± 0.3 EV.
Check the speed 1/1000 sec. Max. deviation ± 0.3 EV.
7:9 LIGHT METER. Check/adjust the light meter. Use the "light meter" potentiometer
for an adjustment. (See page 3:4). Max deviation ± 0.3 EV. Do not use any
other light output except EV 15, since the camera is not built in to the shell.
7:10 FLASH SYNC. Check/adjust the flash sync. The delay is adjusted to 0 - 0.20 ms by
altering the position of the first sync contact. (See page 3:4).
7:11 FLASH METERING. Check/adjust the flash meter. Use the "flash meter"
potentiometer for an adjustment. (See page 3:4). Max. deviation ± 0.3 EV. Use the
setting ISO 100 and light output EV 15.
8. Remove the control panel. Make sure the four centering screws (Pos. No. 16 and 19,
page 11) are screwed in and put the camera body in to the shell.
Do not forget the pre-release button.
9. After aligning the rear plate/shell tighten the two rear screws (Pos No. 32, page 5)
and adjust, if necessary, the horizontal relationship between the speed ring and the
shell by the screws (Pos No. 16, page 11) which are accessible through the shell.
10. Adjust the vertical relationship between the speed ring and the shell by the screws
(Pos No. 19, page 11) which are accessible through the shell and then tighten the
two front screws (Pos No. 34, page 5).
11. Check the upper edge alignment of rear plate and shell. Adjust, if necessary, by the
two screws (Pos No. 31, page 9) which are accessible through the shell .
Note! The rear edge of the shell must not protrude over the rear plate at any point.
12. Remount the control panel, the winding crank mechanism, the tripod foot, the
speed ring grip and the inner cover. (The inner cover by using the tool 901061).
13.* When the camera body is fully reassembled, recheck the focal length, the 45°
mirror angle and the screen position.
14. Connect the camera body to the Service Test System once again and go through all
checks once more. Minor adjustments are sometimes necessary to make.
At this stage, it is also possible to use different light outputs when checking the light
and flash meter since the camera body is mounted in to the shell.
* The 200 series cameras are built slightly different from the 500 series cameras
concerning the focusing screen adjustment. Due to the use of high precision test
equipment at the assembly line, deviations from perfect 45º mirror angle is
compensated for when adjusting the focusing screen position. Doing so we assure
minimum focusing differences over the full image format between the images on the
focusing screen and on the film.
The result of the factory screen adjustment is, that the screen position may not be
totally horizontal when tested in the gauge V-2229. This is still quite in order.
When servicing the 200 series cameras we recommend not to change the mirror
angle, provided it is in tolerance when checked with the sighting tube in gauge
V-2229. Deviations from perfect 45º angle has already been accompanied by non-
horizontal focusing screen position.
However, if the mirror angle is out of tolerance, adjustment has to be made using the
current procedures. (Service Info No. 14/1995)

The magnet hold capability can be checked according to the diagram below. A suitable
scale, like the ZZ88, should be used. When measuring, it must indicate minimum 2 NCM
(200 gram) before each latching lever is released.
If indicating less then 2 NCM, the magnets should be cleaned and then rechecked. If still
less then 2 NCM after cleaning the Bottom mechanism plate, compl. (Part No. 105028)
must be changed. Magnets and latching levers are not available as spare parts due to
sensitive calibration procedures.

The PC based Service Test System has been developed for testing the 200
series cameras in Hasselblad authorized service centres. In addition it can be
used for testing some functions on the 500 and 2000 series cameras and in
the PME viewfinder.
The Service Test System contains the following:
