Note

The following warnings may be displayed:
‘IRIS TBL’ – a valid iris table has not yet been
activated;
readings with ‘NO’ in the first display line
indicate that the selected function is currently
not available (example: ‘NO IRIS’ although the
iris control is activated on the WRC-1, the iris
motor has not yet been connected);
readings with ‘RANGE’ in the second display
line indicate that the adjustment range of a
parameter has been exceeded (example: the
selected speed is not available with this camera);
readings with ‘OFF’ in the first display line
indicate that this function is deactivated on the
camera (example: shutter angle of the 435 is
set manually = ‘OFF ANGLE’).
Correct parameters must be set before the
camera is started!

• Press the MODE button in the main menu to enter the

first submenu. The limit values for the left and right
end-stop of the handwheel (minimum and maximum
camera speed) can be defined.
The first display line shows the value for the left end-stop,
the second line shows the value for the right end-stop.

• Press the SEL button for longer than 2 seconds.

The first digits in the first display line flash. The required
value can now be set using the handwheel. Press the
SEL button again to switch to the next digit. The first
digits are confirmed, and the decimal positions are set
to ‘0’ by pressing the SET button. The values in the
second display line can be set accordingly.

• Press the MODE button to go to the next submenu.

The limit values for the mirror shutter angle can be
defined.
The shutter angle is automatically adjusted to compensate
the exposure while the camera speed is adjusted with the
handwheel. One of the two limit values (minimum or
maximum shutter angle, depending on the adjustment
direction of the camera speed) can be defined; the other
limit value is automatically calculated by the WRC-1.
Press the SEL button for longer than 2 seconds.
Depending on the definable limit value, the shutter
angle display flashes in the first or second display line.
This can now be set using the handwheel. The auto-
matically calculated other limit value is shown in the other
display line. Press the SEL button again to switch to the
next digit. The selected shutter angle is confirmed and
the decimal is set to ‘0’ by pressing the SET button.
The minimum shutter angle corresponds to the selected
minimum camera speed.
