6.5.2.
to use as a range extender
1. Connect two cPRO camins together using an LBUS - LBUS cable or a CAM - LBUS cable.
2. Supply power to the daisy chain through the cPRO camin´s CAM or LBUS connector.
3. Set one cPRO camin to “master”, the other one to “client”. In order to switch between
master and client, simply press and hold the upper button on the cPRO camin for 3 seconds.
Then, select master or client with the up/down buttons and wait for 5 seconds to enable the
function.
4. Now, connect one cPRO camin (master) to the wireless device (client) (e.g. cPRO hand
unit) and the other cPRO camin (clinet) to the cPRO camin / cPRO motor (master) on the
camera side.
In order to extend the RF range, you need to create two independent transmission paths.
Set the cPRO camin (master) to the same radio channel as the wireless device e.g. the cPRO
hand unit (transmission path 1). Then, set cPRO camin (clinet) to the same radio channel
as the cPRO camin / cPRO motor (master) on the camera side (transmission path 2). Once
both transmission paths are established, the wireless device e.g. cPRO hand unit (client
form transmission path 1) will communicate to the cPRO camin / cPRO motor (master from
transmission path 2). The two cPRO camins connected together will act as a range extender
when positioned approximately half way in between the camera and the wireless control
device.
Note: If cPRO camins are used as an RF repeater as described above, only one hand unit
can be used in the wireless network. However, this single cPRO hand unit can still control
up to 4 axis (2 axis for cPRO ONE).
