POWER THE W.M.D.
1. Connect the 2-pin 1B LEMO connector of a RED W.M.D. Power Cable to the PWR port on the W.M.D.
2. Connect the opposite end to a 12 V DC power source with sufficient amperage.
NOTE: The W.M.D. is powered on when the power cable is connected to a live power source. Disconnect
the power cable to turn off the W.M.D.
CONNECT MOTORS
1. Connect a RED W.M.D. Motor Cable to the 7-pin LEMO connector on the motor.
2. Connect the opposite end of the RED W.M.D. Motor Cable to the corresponding lens function (Focus, Iris,
Zoom) 7-pin LEMO connector on the W.M.D.
3. After connecting all motors to the W.M.D., configure the settings for that motor. For more information about
configuring motor settings, go to “Configure Focus, Iris, and Zoom Motors” on page 24 .
INITIALIZE WITH THE W.M.D.
Motor initialization detects each motor’s range of motion for the attached lens and stores the encoder posi-
tions and lens parameters within the W.M.D. lens data gathered by the initialization process remains in W.M.D.
memory for approximately 14 hours, even if system reboots are performed. This 14 hour period begins when
the W.M.D. is powered off for the first time.
To initialize ALL motors:

Press and hold the B button on the W.M.D. for two (2) seconds.
To initialize ONLY motors with unrecognized positions:

Press and release the B button.

A single motor can be initialized by disconnecting and reconnecting the motor cable.
WARNING: It is important to initialize every time a change is made to a lens or a motor. Failing to initialize may
damage lenses or motors.
