Manual

DIP-switch with 4 switches:

1 TRX OFF / ON Transceiver is transmitter when slate is in GEN mode,

receiver when in READ or READ/GEN mode.

Make sure TRX is switched off when not in use, reading or jamming

TC from LEMO or 1/8” jack is not possible if TRX is left on.

2 TX continuous / burst: when in GEN mode, TC is transmitted continuously

or as a 5 seconds burst when slate is clapped.

3 Flash-LED ON / OFF: LEDs flash at second’s start (5 frames) when up.

This aids syncing up if the frames are not readable on the display.

4 Read TC is inserted in userbits when in RD/GEN mode

1.1.2 Brightness control

Open the clapstick and hold down one button while incrementing or

decrementing the brightness with the other.

The brightness of the slate can be altered in 9 steps with the blue and red

pushbuttons. This optimises film exposure of the display and helps save

batteries. Additionally, when the brightness is at maximum there is an

automatic control which reduces the brightness in 10 second cycles. When

the slate is closed the internal counter counts back to 0 seconds. The display

will show maximum brightness on opening again.

Due to the increased brightness of the slate, it is necessary to save batteries.

In the clap mode the slate is opened and clapped usually within 10 seconds,

so that this feature does not impair the maximum brightness at slating time.

Note a: When the batteries get low and don't recuperate in the time the display is

off, the processor reduces the maximum brightness until batteries are changed. If you

can't get 9 brightness levels it is time to change the batteries. (See chapter 1.1.4 and

1.1.5)

Note b: No external time code should be connected in the generator mode when

changing brightness otherwise the generator could be jammed if the red button is

pressed while holding down the blue. In reader mode changing the brightness will not

influence the generator.

1.1.3 The “Red” and “Green” LED

On the top right hand corner of the display are a Green and a Red LED which

indicate the status of the generator and reader.

RED LED flashes at one second intervals. Gen ON and running but hasn't

been set from an external or RTC source.

GREEN LED flashes at one second intervals. Gen ON and has been set from

external source or RTC on start up.

Note. If the generator loses time due to unsuccessful ext. Jam or other

problem, the Red LED will flash instead of the Green.
