DSMC FAN 2.0 UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS
CHAPTER 1:
FAN UPGRADE OVERVIEW
INTRODUCTION
The DSMC
®
Fan 2.0 Upgrade is available for SCARLET
®
and RED EPIC
®
cameras. You may upgrade your BRAIN
®
with one (1) or both of the following fans:
DSMC Fan 2.0 (Bottom)
: Replaces the bottom fan with a more powerful, efficient, and quieter fan that allows you
to run at a low noise level for a longer period of time. The bottom fan is specific to your corresponding camera
model and is distinguished by a SCARLET or EPIC coin and grill.
DSMC Fan 2.0 (Top)
: Replaces the top fan with a more powerful, efficient, and quieter fan. Provides you with a
quiet, effective cooling solution that allows for extended recording sessions at a low noise level.
RED Digital Cinema
®
can perform this installation for you, free of charge. Submit a Support ticket at
WARNING:
These instructions are provided for use AT YOUR OWN RISK. Failure to comply in full with these
instructions may cause severe damage to your camera and WILL NOT be covered by any RED
®
warranty plan.
Damage to the BRAIN or other components of the DSMC system caused by improper installation is not covered under
warranty.
WARNING:
The top of the BRAIN and top fan may be hot. To prevent accidental contact, RED recommends that you
always operate your BRAIN with a compatible top vent scoop or DSMC Tactical Top Plate 2.0.
NOTE:
For EPIC and SCARLET cameras, the DSMC Fan 2.0 (Bottom) and the DSMC Magnesium PL Mount 2.0 are
not natively compatible with each other, since the fan grill prevents the lens mount locking ring from rotating. To use
these devices together, remove the lower tabs from the locking ring using a T8 TORX
®
driver.
NOTE:
Once the upgrade is complete, a firmware update and/or hardware rediscover is required to recognize new
fans. For more information, go to
"Configure Firmware" on page 27
.
NOTE:
RED recommends upgrading your camera firmware to v4.0.12 or later to support full control over both top and
bottom fans. The DSMC Fan 2.0 Upgrade is not fully supported by earlier versions of camera firmware.
