BRIEF OVERVIEW

THE SENSOR UNITS

THESOUNDSENSOR.Asensivemicrophoneisusedtodetectanysharpsound,suchasan

impactorthesoundofbreakingglass.Whendetectedtheunitoperatesthecamerashuer

and,ifnecessary,thecamera’sinternalashand/oraddionalslaveashunits.

THELIGHTINTENSITYSENSOR(LIS).Thisunitmaybeusedatnightorinlowlightsituaonsto

triggerthecameraonthedeteconofarapidchangeinambientlightlevels,suchasthe

deteconofreworksexplodingorlightningashes.Thisunitcanalsobeulisedtoremotely

operateaslaveashconnectedtothecontrollerondeteconofaashfromaashgunonthe

camera,etc.

THEINFRAREDTRANSMITTER(TX)ANDRECEIVER(RX)UNITS.Twounitsareneededforthis

operaon.Theinfraredtransmierunittransmitsanarrowinfraredbeamthatisdetected,ata

distanceofupto2m,bytheinfraredreceiverunit.

Ifthebeamisbrokenbyanobjectoranimalpassingthroughit,thecameracanbetriggeredto

capturethatobjecteitheronasllcameraorvideocamera.

Thebeamwidthcanbereducedinwidthtoimprovedeteconofthemovementofsmall

objects.

THE MCT-1 CONTROL UNIT

Thisistheheartofthesystemthatallowstheoperatortohavecompletecontrolofthe

sensivityofthesensorstoobtainopmumperformance.

Adelaymaybeintroducedbetweenthedevicesensinganinputandthecameratriggeringto

ensurethattheobjectiscapturedatthecorrectme.

Avariabletriggermercanbeusedtocaptureasingleshotormulpleeventsbyacvang

thecamera.Itispossibletousethesportsmodeonthecamera,thustakinganumberof

successiveshotsforthelengthofmechosenbytheoperator.

Variousothermodescanbesetforsingleshot,randomeventsortokeepthelensopenfora

specicmewhenthecameraissetto‘B’OR‘BULB’exposure.

Thecontrolunithasanoutputthatisconnectedtothecameratriggerandhasasecondoutput

channeltocontrolmulplepiecesofequipmentsuchasaddionalcameras,ashunits,ood-

lights,etc,viatheTT-6POWERCONTROLLER.

THE CONTROL UNIT EXPLAINED

Thecontrolunitishousedinatoughbutcompactcasethatissplash-proofandhasawipe

cleansurfacethatincorporatesLEDindicatorsandtouchswitches.

Thecontrolpanelhousesthreerotarycontrolknobsandsixtouchsensiveswitches.The

operaonanddescriponoftheseisdescribedbelow.

THE SENSITIVITY CONTROL

Thisisusedtoadjustthedegreeofsensivityoftheselectedsensortosuitvariouscondions

andprovidetheopmumsengs.

Rotaonofthecontrolknobclockwiseincreasesthesensivityoftheinputdevice.Rotate

theknobunltheLEDilluminates,thenturnitbackan-clockwisealileunlthelightjust

dependingupontheindividualsensored.

AUTO ARM

TheAUTOARMfunconcanbesettoeitherautomacormanualmode.

WhenAUTOARMisselectedtheLEDwilldisplayGREEN.Inthismodethecameratriggerwill

automacallyresetaereachdeteconandoperaonofthecamerareadyforthenextevent.

WhenMANUALisselectedtheLEDwilldisplayasRED.Inthissettingthecamerawill

triggeronlyonceandwillneedtoberesetmanually.Thispreventsmulpleoperaonwhen

notrequired.

TRIGGER INHIBIT

IftheAUTOARMswitchissettoMANUAL,theLEDwillilluminateREDtoshowthatthesystem

isinhibitedandthecamerawillnottrigger.Onoperaonoftheswitchthesystembecomes

armed,theLEDwillglowGREENandthesystemisthenreadytoreceivethenextinputfrom

thesensorswhichwilltriggerthecamera.

IftheAUTOARMswitchissettoAUTOtheLEDwillglowGREENtoindicatethatthesystemis

armedandthecamerawillbetriggeredbythenexteventandeachsubsequenteventwithout

intervenon.(TheLEDwillalsoglowREDduringatriggeringoperaon.)

TRIGGER DELAY

Whenaneventacvatesthesystemthecameraistriggeredbuttriggeringcanbedelayed

byintroducingadesiredmelagbytheuseoftheTRIGGERDELAYcontrol.Whenrotated

clockwisethelagbetweenthedevicesensinganeventandtheshuerbeingreleasedis

increased.

LONGorSHORTmerangescanbeselectedbytheoperaonoftheswitch.LONGdelayis

indicatedbyaGREENLEDandSHORTbyaREDLED.

InthecaseoftheSHORTdelayselecontheresulngmelagbetweenacvaonoftheunit

andthecameratriggeringwillbebetween1/1000thto1/10thsecond.TheLONGdelaywill

beadjustablebetween1/10thto10seconds.Timesstatedareapproximateandadegreeof

experimentaonisrequiredtondtheprecisedelayrequired.

TRIGGER TIME

Ordinarily,whenacamerashuerreleasebuonisdepressedbythephotographertheshuer

isoperatedonceunlessthecameraissettomulpleexposuremodes,suchasSportsMode.

TheTRIGGERTIMEcontrolallowstheoperatortosetthemethatthecamera’sshuerre-

leasebuonwillbeacvated,ieelectronically‘helddown’.Thiscanbeselectedviatherotary

controlbetweenapproximately1/1000thofasecondto10seconds.(Ithasbeenfoundthat

somemodels/makesofcamerawillnottriggerattheminimumsengbutothermakeswill.

Thisisnotafaultoftheunit.)

Ifthecameraissetto‘B’OR‘BULB’exposure,forinstance,thelengthofmethattheshuer

remainsopenwillbethatsetbytheTRIGGERTIMEcontrol.

Thisalsoappliestomulpleexposuremodes,suchasSportsMode,whentheTRIGGERTIME

sengdictatesthemethatthecamerashuerisbeingoperatedandmulpleshotsbeing

recorded.

TRIGGER MODE

TheTRIGGERTIMEcanbeoperatedintwomodes,MANUAL(REDLED)orAUTO(GREENLED).

InMANUALmode,thelengthofmeofoperaonwillbedictatedbythelengthofmethe

TRIGGERswitchisbeingdepressedbytheuser.Thispreventsthecamerafrombeingtriggered

automacallybythecontrolunit.

IntheAUTOmodethetriggerlengthwillbedictatedbythemesetontheTRIGGERTIME

controloftheMCT-1.

TRIGGER SWITCH

WhentheTRIGGERswitchisdepressedthecamerawillbeoperatedforthemethatthe

switchishelddepresseddespitetheothercontrolsengs.TheTRIGGERLEDwilllightforas

longasthetriggerisoperanginMANUALorAUTOmodes.

Whentheswitchisoperatedthefocuswillautomacallybeacvated.Therefore,boththe

focusandthetriggerlightswillbelit.

CAMERA FOCUS

Bypressingthisswitchandthecamerasettoauto-focus,thecameracanberemotelyfocused

dependentuponthemakeandmodelofthecameraandthechosenseng.

REAR PANEL

Therearpaneloftheunitprovidesconnectionsandswitchesrelatingtopowersupply,

mode,sensorinput1and2andtriggeroutletstocameraandauxiliaryunits.

Themodeswitchselectsthetypeofinputfromthesensors,eitherLIS/SOUNDor

INFRARED.

Thesensorscanbeinputdirectlyintoeitherport1or2.InthecaseoftheINFRARED

transmitterandreceiverunits,thesecanbepluggeddirectlyintoports1and2ordaisy-

chainedtogether.

Twotriggeroutputsaresupplied.ThesearemarkedCAMERAandAUX.andallowforthe

cameratobeconnected,and/oraslaveflashunit,toanothercameraorothersimilar

equipment.Output1providescameratriggerANDauto-focus.Output2providestrigger

onlywithNOauto-focus.

The6vDCsupplyinputsocketandtheControlUnitpowerON/OFFswitchisalsosituated

ontherearpanel.

REMOTE SENSORS AND TRANSMITTER MODULES

Twosplash-proofremoteunitsaresupplied.Thesecanbeusedonaatsurfaceormounted

onthesmalltripodssupplied.Standardtripodscanbeusedforfree-standingsituaons.

INFRARED TRANSMITTER/SOUND SENSOR MODULE

Ontherearoftheunitaswitchisprovidedto

selecttheINFRAREDorSOUNDmodesandtwo

3.5mmjacksocketstoconnecttothecontrol

unit(orinthecaseofinfraredoperaon,tothe

otherunit).

WhenINFRAREDTRANSMITTER(IRTX)is

selected,theunitsendsaninvisiblebeamto

bedetectedbythesecondunit,theINFRARED

RECEIVER(IRRX).Thebeamisnomorethan60

wideandsothetwounitsmustbealignedquiteaccurately.

WhentheswitchissettoSOUND,theunitulisesitsintegralsensivemicrophonetotransmit

asignaltotheMAINCONTROLUNIT.

Note: When used in the IR TX mode, looking directly into the invisible beam may cause eye damage.

INFRARED RECEIVER/LIS MODULE

InasimilarwaytotheIRTX/SOUNDunit,this

modulehasarearpanelcontainingaswitchto

selectLIGHTINTENSITYSENSOR(LIS)orINFRA-

REDRECEIVER(IRRX).Italsohastwo3.5mm

jacksocketstoconnectinasimilarwaytothat

ofthepreviousunit.

WhenthisunitissettoLISitispossibleto

detectsuddenincreasesinlightintensity,such

aslightning.Thisisdependentontheamount

ofambientlightandwillbefoundtobemost

accurateinlowlightordarksituaons.

WhentheswitchisselectedtousetheINFRAREDSENSOR(IRRX)funcon,themoduleneeds

tobealignedaccuratelywiththeIRTXunitwithinthe60angle.Whenalignedcorrectlythe

beamwillmakethecircuitandwhenbrokentheunittriggerstheMAINCONTROLUNIT.

Ifverysmallobjectsneedtobedetected,a20 baeis

supplied.ThiscanbeaachedtothefrontoftheIRRX

moduleandrestrictstheangleofthereceivedbeamto

only20.Therefore,greataccuracyandsensivitycanbe

achievedwhencapturingsmallobjects.
