• The RS, ACC and CCU receptacles output the same voltage as is supplied to the BAT receptacle. If the BAT
receptacle input voltage is above 32 V, the voltage output of the RS, ACC and CCU receptacles will be
limited to 32 V/2 amp. Ensure that all accessories are suited to the supplied voltage.
• When transporting the camera, make sure that the sliding door securing the field lens is all the way down.
• When using the RCU, always reset the shutter angle to the desired value before disconnecting the RCU.

and that you follow the operating instructions described herein. We strongly recommend that you also
acquaint yourself with the full 435 instruction manual.

familiarizing yourself with the equipment and the assembly procedures.
