REMOTE HEADS

1. Remove the cable tray from the Console Kit.
2. Underneath the cable try you will find the operator console attached to the pan and tilt encod-ers. This
console is pre-wired with a Mo-Sys cable from the pan encoder to the console and an encoder cable
between the pan and tilt encoders. There is also a Terminator in the pan encoder, this is necessary for
operation of the L40.
3. Remove the operators console and attach it to a standard mitchell mount with the moy nut supplied.
4. Remove the L40 remote head from the box and attach it over or under slung with the supplied moy nut. A
tightening tool is supplied in the cable tray in the console kit.
5. There is a power supply in the L40 head case. Remove this and open it, you will find an AC cable and 3
pin XLR cable. (alternatively the head can be powered by a 24V battery, polarity is not an issue)
6. Plug in the power supply to available AC and the XLR from the power supply to the rear on the console.
(either XLR input will work, two are supplied for “hot swapping” batteries without power-ing down)
7. In the cable tray there are 2 - 25m Mo-Sys cables. You can use one of these if the length is appropriate or
attach them with the cable coupler located in the L40 head case. Plug one end into the back of the console
with the red “key” dot at the top. Run the other end through the hole in the pan motor assembly on the
head and plug into the corresponding connector in the pan motor next to the Terminator.
8. Attach your sliding base plate to the camera plate with the supplied hardware. Please return the hard-
ware to the camera plate when finished with the system.
9. Adjust the head size by loosening the kip handles on the pan and tilt arms as required for balance and to
enable full camera rotation.
10. Press the on/off switch on the back of the console to ON, it will turn green if power is present.
11. Press the ENABLE button on the top of the operators console. Pan and tilt will be enabled, adjust speed,
direction and smoothening as required.
The Mo-Sys L40 was designed to be set-up and operational in minutes. This reference quide is for basic
operations. For more detailed instructions and information see the full Mo-Sys L40 Manual.
