Operating instructions

Mesh the motor gear to the lens. It is not important where the lens is in its range,
there is no need to ensure the lens is in the middle or away from either of the
stops. It is important to ensure that that is a small amount of backlash between
the motor and the lens. This ensures smooth running of the system.
If you are using third party gear rings on SLR lenses, please ensure that the gears
are concentric to the lens. If there are any centreing problems, this can cause a
cam eect and push the motor away from the lens which can cause backlash or
tooth skipping.
The motor can be mounted facing away or upside down or coming up from
under the lens. The direction can be set up on the hand unit so the motor always
turns the lens the way you expect.
PLEASE NOTE:
If the original hub screw is lost for any reason the thread in the centre of the hub
is metric standard M4. Any M4 screw up to about 14mm long can be used to hold
the gear on if the original screw is lost. New screws can be obtained from Hocus
Products ora ny of our dealers.

Setting the Channel
Checking the signal strength
A signal strength report is automatically displayed on the hand unit LED display
after a channel check. To check the signal strength, press the channel button and
the current channel will be displayed, followed by the signal strength report,
which is shown in the form of two numbers, h0-9 (signal being received by the
hand unit) and then r0-9 (signal being received by the receiver)
We recommend that you try not to use the unit if the signal is below 2 as this
could cause undesired operation.
This is useful if you are operating in the upper limit of the systems range, you can
use these two values to determine which unit needs adjusting to gain better
signal.
Checking signal strength
Signal being received by hand unit - level 9 (full signal)
Signal being received by receiver unit - level 9 (full signal)
