POWER THE W.M.D.
1. Connect the 2-pin 1B LEMO connector of a RED W.M.D. Power Cable to the
PWR
port on the W.M.D.
2. Connect the opposite end to a 12 VDC power source with sufficient amperage.
NOTE:
The W.M.D. is powered on when the power cable is connected to a live power source. Disconnect the
power cable to turn off the W.M.D.
CONNECT MOTORS
1. Connect a RED W.M.D. Motor Cable to the 7-pin LEMO connector on the motor.
2. Connect the opposite end of the RED W.M.D. Motor Cable to the corresponding lens function 7-pin LEMO
connector on the W.M.D.
3. After connecting all motors to the W.M.D., configure the settings for that motor. For more information about
configuring motor settings, go to
"Configure Focus, Iris, and Zoom Motors" on the next page
.
INITIALIZE WITH THE W.M.D.
In order for the W.M.D. to safely control the motors, the W.M.D. must be initialized to detect the range of motion for
each motor. At shutdown, the W.M.D. saves the range of motion for each motor along with the current position for 14
hours. You can turn on/off the W.M.D. without initializing again. Initialization needs to be performed if something
changes with the the physical setup.
To Initialize ALL Motors:
Press and hold the
B
button on the W.M.D. for two (2) seconds.
To initialize ONLY motors with errors:
Press and release the
B
button.
A single motor can be initialized by disconnecting and reconnecting the motor cable.
WARNING:
It is important to initialize every time a change is made to a lens or a motor. Failing to initialize may
damage lenses or motors.
