Pan Bars Quick Start Guide

4

24Volt power supply bricks (

 

 ), and the power indicator LED on 

the head (

  

). 

2.

Focus control has to be physically set to zero before booting up the 
PC. To do this, fully rotate the Focus knob anticlockwise on the 
joystick to zero the focus axis.

3.

Press the 

POWER

 button on the PC for less than one second to boot. 

The PC takes about 30 seconds to start up.

If an error occurs, such as a missing connector, the panel on the Mini 
Joystick Controller displays the message “

(!) - Back to Repair

”, 

press the Back button to resolve the error. Such an error can occur, for 
example, when a serial lens connector is missing, the system recognises 
that it cannot control the axis and trips the axis.

Turning off the system

Turn off the PC by pressing the power button for less than one second to 
power it down. Do not remove the power cable to turn off the PC. It can 
damage the system.

Remove the power cable to turn off the Mini Joystick Controller and the 
Ethernet Mimic box.

Note 

It is a good idea to attach the power cables last, after all the 
other cables are in place. 

It is also recommended that you power up the PC last, after 
powering up the head, as powering up two devices 
simultaneously on the same Ethernet network can cause 
communication problems.
