Instruction manual

3.1 System Components

All operations of the lens control system can be performed

with the ﬂexible individual units. In general, all units are

abbreviated using a code with three letters, a hyphen and

a number (e.g. CLM-1). All cables are abbreviated using

a code with two letters, a hyphen, a letter and a number

(e.g. UC-C1).

Backwards compatibility to all existing wireless

units is assured through careful design. For

restrictions see the following compatibility list. A

general exeption to this rule is the radio modem

of the "-1" generation: These radio modems

are not compatibel with the radio modems of

the "-2" and "-3" series.

Note: The radio modems of the "-1" series can be

exchanged to the new standard modems at any

ARRI Service Center.

Note: To operate the new radio modem software version

1.08 or newer should be used with the WRC-1.

Note: No update is necessary for the Universal Motor

Controller (UMC-1), the Wireless Focus Unit 1

(WFU-1) and the Wireless Zoom Unit 1 (WZU-1)

since they do not contain any radio modems.

Note: Some functions of the UMC-1 are already incorporated

in the FEM-2 or a Lens Data Box of an ARRICAM.

Parallel operation of the UMC-1 with a respectively

equipped ARRICAM or ARRIFLEX 435 Advanced

is not recommended!
