Pushrod reels
When the Controller is powered on and connected to a reel either directly as a 540 or as part of a 550
system, it prompts you to select the reel type and calibrate the reel. You must also calibrate the new reel
if you change reels (connect a different reel to the controller). The reel must be correctly calibrated to
ensure that camera distances are accurate.
Note: For definitions of calibration and zero distance, see
section 1.2
Follow these steps:
1. Rewind the pushrod completely.
Make sure the pushrod is layered evenly and correctly onto the reel
and
the end of the rod is
level with the rod guide.
2. Power on the controller.
3. In the Equipment settings menu, select the
Reel type
you are using from the dropdown list and ensure
Reel power is on. Then press Select.
