Manual Override
The Hedén Ymer system features a manual override function that can be used to take manual control over the lens when
the motor is idling. 5 seconds after the last input the power to the motor is cut off to preserve energy and the manual
override function can be used. The lens can now be freely moved without the motor resisting or getting out of calibration.
If any of the contols on the transmitter is moved the corresponding motor is reactivated and goes back to the position
decided by the controller.
All settings like calibration, limits and macro are not affected by using this function.
Limits
Llimits lets you set 2 limits in the knob range and move the motor only between these points. Turning the control knob
beyond the assigned points will activate the transmitters vibrator. To enter this mode move to desired start position then
short press limit button. Move to desired second position and press button again. To exit mode press button a third time.
Macro
The Macro function is used to give the operator extra fine control over motor operation allowing smooth incremental
movements with extreme precision. By limiting the span of motor travel between two markers and still utilizing the full
travel range in the control knob the operator can achieve very fine control and simplified macro movements.
Use the transmitter control knob to move the motor to the first desired limit and press the Macro button once. The Macro
LED on the transmitter and the LED’s by the FOCUS/LIMITS button on the receiver will start blinking to indicate that the
first macro marker has been set. Move the motor to the second position and press the Macro button again. This sets the
second position and the motor moves to its new position within the span defined by the position of the control knob. The
Macro LED on the transmitter and the LED’s by the FOCUS/LIMITS button on the receiver turns solid green to indicate that
the system is in Macro mode.
To turn the Macro function off, press the Macro button one more time. The Macro LED on the transmitter and the LED’s by
the FOCUS/LIMITS button on the receiver will turn off to indicate that the system is no longer in Macro mode. The motor
will now move to a point within the full calibrated range determined by the position of the control knob.
REC
This section will cover the basics of setting up the Ymer system for remote trigger and will not go into detail regarding
cables. Hedén offers a range of different cables for use on different camera systems. There are variations on how to set
the system up depending on what camera and cables you are using.
The Hedén Ymer system uses contact closure to remotely trigger the camera. This solution is compatible with most
cameras. For solutions regarding Schmitt triggering used by RED camera systems, more information can be found at
https://heden.se/support/red-run-stop/
Information about Run/Stop functions, cables and more can be found at www.heden.se and in our newsletters.
To set the system up for remote triggering a cable needs to be connected from the RUN/S connector on the rleft-hand side
panel on the receiver to the appropriate connector on your camera system.
WARNING!
Do not connect this cable when the receiver is powered.
Refer to separate instructions from the camera manufacturer as to where to connect cables and how to set the camera up
for remote triggering.
Make sure the Hedén Ymer system is powered and paired and that all necessary parameters dictated by the camera
manufacturer is met. A single press of the REC button will trigger the Run/Stop function. The LED above the REC button
will turn solid red to indicate that the function is active. To inactivate the function, press the REC button one more time.
The LED above the REC button will now turn off.
