ARRI WZE - 3 Universal Remote User Manual


 
Quality of the radio connection
The RF-LED D photo (page 10) shows whether the
quality of the radio transmission is sufficient. As long as
the RF-LED is green, the radio connection is perfect. If the
LED is illuminated briefly red, this means that a data
packet has been lost. The packet is cyclically transmitted
and the lens adjustment is still correct.
If the LED lights up red several times briefly, or continuous-
ly, it must be assumed that lens adjustment is no longer
being performed correctly. If the LED flashes red, the
radio connection has been interrupted for longer than a
second.
The radio connection is best when there is visual contact
between the antennas of the LDB, UMC-3, URM-2/-3 or
ARRIFLEX 416 Plus(HS) and the WZE-3 is as small as
possible. The maximum range inside buildings depends
on the particular building and is typically approx. 30m.
Outdoors the range is approx. 100m.
Setup
13
Due to local telecommunications regulations, only
certain channels are allowed in some countries.
The WZE-3 must be used in odd numbered channels in
France.
In all other countries, radio channels from 0-7 may be
programmed if there are no local telecommunication
restrictions for the 2.4 GHz ISM-band.
Set the desired channel with the rotary selection
knob D photo on the WZE-3.
Using the selection knob on the LDB (Lens Data
Box), the FEM-2, the UMC-3 or ARRIFLEX 416
plus(HS), select the same channel as on the WZE-3.
Selector switch number 9 switches the radio modem off,
number 8 is reserved for special purposes.
