Manual Override
The Hedén Ymer system features a manual override funcon that can be used to take manual control over the lens
when the motor is idling. 5 seconds aer the last input the power to the motor is cut o to preserve energy and the
manual override funcon can be used. The lens can now be freely moved without the motor resisng or geng out of
calibraon. If any of the controls on the transmier is moved, the corresponding motor is reacvated and goes back to
the posion decided by the controller. The mapped values of the lens will show up in the display if the motor is manually
moved ashing to indicate that the motor has been manually moved. If you move the control to the motor that has been
manually moved, it will go back to the hand units posion.
Limits
Limits lets you set 2 limits in the knob range and move the motor only between these points. Make sure the FIZ toggle is
set to the channel you want to apply the limit to.
Focus limits
- Short pressing the limit buon will lock the motor unl you short press limit buon again.
- To set limits press and hold the limit buon and move the control between the points , release limit buon when you
moved between the desired points.
Iris limits
-Make sure FIZ-toggle is set to I, cycle through with the FIZ-buon.
-Move iris slider to the rst limit posion, press limits, move to the second posion and press limits again.
Macro
The Macro funcon is used to give the operator extra ne control over motor operaon allowing smooth incremental
movements with extreme precision. By liming the span of motor travel between two markers and sll ulizing the full
travel range in the control knob, the operator can achieve very ne control and simplied macro movements.
Use the transmier control knob to move the motor to the rst desired limit and press the Macro buon once. The Macro
LED on the transmier and the LED’s by the FOCUS/LIMITS buon on the receiver will start blinking to indicate that the
rst macro marker has been set. Move the motor to the second posion and press the Macro buon again. This sets the
second posion and the motor moves to its new posion within the span dened by the posion of the control knob. The
Macro LED on the transmier and the LED’s by the FOCUS/LIMITS buon on the receiver turns solid green to indicate that
the system is in Macro mode.
To turn the Macro funcon o, press the Macro buon one more me. The Macro LED on the transmier and the LED’s by
the FOCUS/LIMITS buon on the receiver will turn o to indicate that the system is no longer in Macro mode. The motor
will now move to a point within the full calibrated range determined by the posion of the control knob.
REC
This secon will cover the basics of seng up the Ymer system for remote trigger and will not go into detail regarding
cables. Hedén oers a range of dierent cables for use on dierent camera systems. There are variaons on how to set
the system up depending on what camera and cables you are using.
The Hedén Ymer system uses contact closure to remotely trigger the camera. This soluon is compable with most
cameras. For soluons regarding Schmi triggering used by RED camera systems, more informaon can be found at
hps://heden.se/support/red-run-stop/
Informaon about Run/Stop funcons, cables and more can be found at www.heden.se and in our newsleers.
To set the system up for remote triggering, a cable needs to be connected from the RUN/S connector on the le-hand side
panel on the receiver to the appropriate connector on your camera system.
WARNING! Do not connect this cable when the receiver is powered.
Refer to separate instrucons from the camera manufacturer as to where to connect cables and how to set the camera up
for remote triggering.
Make sure the Hedén Ymer system is powered and paired and that all necessary parameters dictated by the camera
manufacturer is met. A single press of the REC buon will trigger the Run/Stop funcon. The LED above the REC buon
will turn solid red to indicate that the funcon is acve. To inacvate the funcon, press the REC buon one more me.
The LED above the REC buon will now turn o.
