Warnings
The motor is a powerful device which is
capable of causing injury or damage.
Use caution when touching the drive
gear when the device is powered on.
The motor is not to be used on
extremely stiff or damaged lenses.
The motor requires no user
maintenance. Opening the motor can
affect its internal calibration and voids
the warranty.
The motor body is used as a heat-sink
for the brushless windings, therefore it
will get warmer than a brush-type
motor.
Attaching to a camera rig
Affix the motor to the rods, but don't yet mesh the drive gear to the lens gear. Rotate the focus ring
so that it is not too close to either end stop. Now mesh the gears, and plug the Digital Motor into
the Receiver. The Digital Motor will begin its Auto-Calibration Routine.
Accuracy & Electronic Backlash Comp
The MK3.x motor features a high-precision encoder that will never lose steps. If you see evidence
of backlash affecting accuracy, please make sure that your mount, rails and camera are extremely
rigid, as mounting flex is the main cause of inaccuracy. Unique electronic backlash compensation is
calibrated at the factory.
Focus/Iris/Zoom Assignment
The Digital Motor is internally assigned a “Motor Class”, which is saved to non-volatile memory.
The motor will identify itself to the CONTROLLER via its SERIAL NUMBER (lasered onto the motor
back, example: 0500). To change the class of a Digital Motor, or other performance parameters
(performance mode, direction of rotation, etc.) please refer to the manual for the Controller.
