CONFIGURE THE 3-AXIS SYSTEM
1. Pair the T.H.C.
A. Ensure the RED CAN Command Cable is connected to the W.M.D. and T.H.C.
B. Toggle the T.H.C. power switch to Cable mode.
Once paired, the T.H.C. retains wireless information for that W.M.D.
C. Insert a charged RED Li Battery 7.2V.
D. Toggle the T.H.C. power switch to Battery mode.
Wait a few seconds for the T.H.C. wireless LED to turn solid blue, signalling a wireless connection.
E. Remove the RED CAN Command Cable.
The T.H.C. is now successfully paired.
NOTE: For more information, go to
“Pair the T.H.C.” on page 37 .
2. Set motor type.
A. In the W.M.D. main menu, navigate to Focus/Iris/Zoom > Model.
B. Select your motor type. (Example: RED DLM1)
NOTE: For more information, go to “Select Motor Type/Model” on page 25 .
3. Configure wireless settings.
A. In the W.M.D. main menu, select Wireless.
If you are operating the T.H.C. in close proximity (Up to 25 feet), select Low.
If you are operating the T.H.C. from greater distances, select High.
If operating multiple systems in the same vicinity, select a unique wireless channel.
NOTE: For more information, go to
“Configure Wireless Settings” on page 26 .
4. Initialize motors.
A. Press and hold the Initialize button on the T.H.C., or the B button on the W.M.D. for two (2) seconds.
NOTE: Fore more information, go to “Initialize the System” on page 14 .
The RED 3-Axis Lens Control System is now successfully setup and ready for wireless operation. The remain-
der of this section offers further guidance on initialization, motor configuration, lens profiles, metadata, and
T.H.C. controls.
INITIALIZE THE SYSTEM
Initialization detects the range of motion for each motor and stores the data in the W.M.D. Lens data remains in
W.M.D. for approximately 14 hours even if system reboots are performed. W.M.D. LEDs display motor initializa-
tion status. Red LEDs indicate motors that are not initialized, solid green indicates motors that are initialized,
and flashing green LEDs indicate an initialization process is in progress.
To initialize the system, perform one of the following actions:

Press and hold the Initialize button on the T.H.C. for two (2) seconds to initialize all connected motors.

Press and hold the B button on the W.M.D. for two (2) seconds to initialize all connected motors.

Press and release the Initialize or B button to initialize only motors that need it.

A single motor can be initialized by disconnecting and reconnecting the motor cable.
IMPORTANT: Initialize motors any time a modification is made.
NOTE: The W.M.D. must be unlocked for the B button to be active. Press and hold the A button for two (2) sec-
onds to unlock the unit and access the menu.
