Powering up
Adding the Steadicam
®
Volt™ to your system requires an extra step when powering up, and when picking
up your sled. First, you’ll align the pan encoder while powering on, and later you’ll run the system when
you want the Volt motors active. It’ll become second nature, but pay close attention while you’re getting
started for best results.
NOTE: Any sled with internal Volt controls, such as an M-2, will always align the gimbal handle with the
REAR of the post, no matter which side of the top stage the built-in knobs are installed.
Power on
Make sure the power switch is in the OFF
position and plug in the power cable from
your sled to the Volt control box.
NOTE: If you use an aftermarket power cable,
conrm the polarity is correct. Volt is protected
against reverse voltage, but won’t work very
well without power.
Plug in the Volt gimbal cable and wrap a
couple of loops around the post as needed to
control any slack.
NOTE: The Volt control box will not power up
without the gimbal cable properly connected.
