3. KAIROS CONTROLLER
3.1. Firmware update
3.2. Connection
The KAIROS Controller is the brain of the motion control system. It’s required
for the FOOT CONTROLLERS to work.
Before proceeding, make sure that the rmware of your KAIROS is updated.
FOOT CONTROLLERS are supported from version 2.0.8 (ethernet-based
systems with Slidelink 3.0) or 1.1.5. (systems equipped with Slidelink Pro)
and above.
To update the KAIROS controller, use the Slidekamera Firmware Updater
tool, which you can download from www.slidekamera.com/software.
1. Turn off the KAIROS before connecting FOOT CONTROLLERS.
2. Plug the D-SUB/Lemo cable to
the AUX port of the KAIROS
and the FOOT CONTROLLER
equipped with two Lemo sockets
(it’s irrelevant which socket you
use).
3. Connect FOOT CONTROLLERS
using a Lemo cable.
Always connect both FOOT CONTROLLERS!
4. Power-up the KAIROS Controller.
Detection of auxiliary manipulators
is performed at startup. Therefore,
connecting them to a powered-up
device won’t work.

4.1. Mapping the drives
4.2. Conguraiton
By default, KAIROS controller uses its joystick and knobs to steer motion axes.
To use auxiliary inputs, you have to asign them to a chosen axis. It’s usually a
slider’s drive, but you can choose whatever axis you want - you can use FOOT
CONTROLLERS to move your head in the panorama axis or rack focus of
your lenses.
After powering up the controller and calibrating the drives enter the Device
Settings menu of a chosen drive.
Use the SET button for axes 1-3. For
all other drives, press the SETTINGS
button, navigate to Devices
Settings and choose your axis.
Choose Map to > from the
Axis menu
Additional inputs are added at the
end of the list.
Scroll down to controller no. 7 and
press the ENTER button on the
joystick to accept.
Exit the Menu using BACK button.
In the Live Mode, the new number is
displayed at the chosen drive. That
indicates the mapped controller.
To change the axis parameters, enter the Axis menu (press the SETTINGS
button, navigate to Devices settings and choose your axis).
Navigate to RAMP and SPEED
and alter the values using joystick.
To exit the menu choose BACK or
press the BACK button on the panel.

4.3. Left / right irection
The FOOT CONTROLLERS have no predetermined left / right assignment.
You can simply swap the controllers if you need to change the drive direction.
You can also use the INVERT feature in the Device Settings menu.
Slidekamera FOOT CONTROLLERS are
equipped with a spring tensioner. You can
adjust the resistance of the controllers to your
needs.
Use the 4mm hex key and rotate
the SPRING ADJUSTMENT screw.
Rotate clockwise to reduce the tension and
counterclockwise to increase it.
You can reduce the tension completely.
The controller won’t spring back after
pressing - it will stay pressed when
you remove your foot. You can use that
feature to move the slider constantly
with desired speed without keeping your
foot on the pedal.
To use the original mapping of the
axes, remap them manually
or reset the assignment using
Reset mapping from the
Devices settings menu.
Power down the KAIROS before unplugging the FOOT CONTROLLERS.
5. Adjusting the spring tension
6. Disconnecting FOOT CONTROLLERS
The adjustment screw is very
precise and takes a large
number of turns to change the
tension signicantly.
