5. Good to know
Loss of communication
In the case that communication between the
head unit
and
controller
is lost, head will stop moving and try to
reconnect to the controller.
This can be caused by interference with used radio
frequency or due to the large distance between devices
or when the controller is turned off.
Time Lapse and Memory recall
When
Time Lapse
option is activated or when
Auto
memory recall
is started, 5sH will start to work
independently from the controller. Even if you turn the
controller off, the head will continue to work by itself.
To reestablish the connection between the controller and
the head, it is necessary to turn the head off and then on
again.
IMPORTANT! Do not move the head pan/tilt with your hand. It can cause unrepeatable damage to the
motors!
6. Wired connection
Whenever possible, it is recommended to use wired communication. When wired connection is used,
wireless modules are in standby mode and system uses less power.
When you use wired communication, system will start working when you turn ON either the Head or the
controller.
If you turn the head ON, the head’s battery will power the controller as well. If you turn the controller ON,
controller’s battery will power the head electronic and motors.
If you need extra power (when working in wired mode) you should turn both devices ON. This way the
capacity of the batteries will be summarized.
When the head and the controller are connected with cable, charging of one device will charge the other as
well
(Power switch on both devices must be in power on position to charge the batteries with
communication cable!
).
6.1 Power supply
If you want the system to work on electricity, you should connect 5sH and the controller with
communication cable, and then connect the controller to the power supply
(5sH will be powered
automatically over communication cable)
. It is not necessary to connect both devices to the power supply.
7. Batteries
The head works on 8 AA 1.5V batteries. (Rechargeable AA batteries are included in the head set)
Head controller uses internal lithium batteries.
The head and controller can run on power supply as well.
Batteries of the head and controller should be charged for 3 hours max.
DO NOT charge the batteries over night!
DO NOT leave the batteries to get empty completely! You will not be able to charge them again!
The capacity of the head and controller batteries is 4 working hours.
