POWERING WITH THE SL-6
The SL-6 features two power inputs: NP-1 battery and external DC. The
SL-6, its attached receivers, the Scorpio, and any devices powered
from the SL-6 DC outputs require one of these power sources to op-
erate. When both SL-6 power sources are depleted or disconnected,
the SL-6 PowerSafe™ battery will keep the SL-6 and attached devices
powered for 10 seconds while recording is stopped as long as an
L-mount or DC power source is connected to Scorpio.
Power sources connected directly to the Scorpio (external DC or the
L-mount batteries) will not power the SL-6 or any peripheral devices
attached to the SL-6.
Remove DC1 and DC2 powering from the Scorpio while using the
SL-6. L-Mount batteries can be left inserted in Scorpio while the SL-6
is being used.
When an SL-6 is attached, the following settings are available in the
Power menu.
SL-6 PREFERRED SOURCE Selects whether the NP-1 or DC input
takes priority.
SL-6 DC REF Allows proper power level based on the type of DC
power source used [12 V DC, 14 V Li-ion, 12 V Lead Acid, Full Range]
SL-6 POWER OUTPUTS Selects whether SL-6 power outputs 1-4
and USB charging port are on or off.
When using an external BDS switch to power the entire Scorpio/
SL-6 system, set DC Loss to ‘Turn Off’ and ensure no NP-1 battery is
connected to the SL-6 and no DC power is connected to the DC-1 or
DC-2 jacks on the Scorpio. Leaving these power sources connected
will cause the Scorpio to auto-reboot after powering down the BDS.
L-Mount batteries can be left inserted in Scorpio and will not cause a
reboot after powering down from an external BDS.
ROUTING SL-6 SOURCES TO CHANNELS
The SL-6 has a total of six channels of wireless from the three slots. To
route an SL-6 Source to a channel, access a channel’s source screen
and select from A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, or C2. When an SL-6 channel
is selected as the source, use the */** toggle as a shortcut to the
selected receiver’s setup screen.
For SL-6 A1-A2, B1-B2, C1-C2, channel trim gain range is -20 to 50
dB. When the A10-RX is receiving signal from the A20-Mini, the trim
gain of the associated 8-Series channel is 0 to 60 dB.
