3. AGITO CORE OVERVIEW
INTRODUCTION
The CORE is the heart of your AGITO Modular Dolly System, within this module is contained all of the
power management, RF and steering drivers.
CORE DIMENSIONS
BATTERY SLOTS
The Battery Connection uses our own proprietry 48v Li-Ion battery packs. Only Motion Impossible
approved battery packs should be used to prevent damage to the system.
The system can run off a single battery, but for optimum runtime the chassis should be fitted with 2
batteries, fitted one on each side, that can be hot swapped to keep the system fully powered during a
battery change. Always make sure to run batteries of the same charge level to ensure optimum
runtimes.
Although the core can power up and down almost instantly, if you are powering accessories from the
12v chassis power outputs then they will also receive uninterrupted power during a battery change
using the hot-swap method.

CORE RF MODULE SOCKET
The system by default comes with a 2.4 GHz system. The RF module is fixed via a single bolt, simply
unscrew this to remove the RF and swap for other RF modules (sold separately) when required.
If required a Pass-Through module is also available which enables the use of third-party solutions. This
unit provides (see section 10 for pin-outs):
• Data (RS-232)
• 12v Power (1A max)
CORE I/O PORTS
• 2x 12v DC Outputs – 4 Pin XLR connectors with a shared 2A load, only designed for
lightweight accessories that draw low power, such as RF or video transmission.
• USB Connector – Not in Use (for future expansion).
• 2x AUX Ports – Wired for multiple interface types. Some of our accessories utilise this
connectivity. AUX1 is also the port you use to update the software in the chassis when new
improvements are released.
PAYLOAD MOUNTING
• Payload mounting is provided via the 2 mounting rails on each side of the chassis. The
threaded holes are 3/8 inch spaced at 1-inch intervals. These allow for the fitting of all our
current and future stabilisation / camera mounting solutions.
Please ensure you use the correct RF module for your territory, we provide a range of
options. Please contact us for more information.
