1.0 Description
The Focus-Iris unit is a single channel wireless control. It can be used to control either
the focus or iris channel of an MDR2, wireless V+F Lens Control, or Radio Dimmer. The
switch located near the top of the control selects between the focus and iris function.
An FM50 type Li-Ion Battery (11) powers both the Radio module. To remove the battery,
slide the Battery Release (12) towards the rear of the module while pushing the battery
downwards.
The omni-directional antenna element (1) is housed within a rugged cover that protects
it against impact. The tri-color LED (4) indicates the strength of the received signals:
Blue – Maximum
Green – Strong
Red – Minimum
(off) – Signal Strength too low.
Move closer to MDR2 for reliable operation.
There are 30 wireless channels available numbered from 0 – 29. These correspond to
the channels on the MDR2, V+F Lens Control and Radio Dimmer. The channel is raised or
lowered by pressing the pair of buttons (7) to the right of the channel indicator (6).

2.0 Operation
1. Install a charged Li-Ion battery
2. Set up the Motor Driver or Radio Dimmer. Apply power. Note the channel
setting. If the device being controlled is a Video Lens Control or Radio Dimmer,
set the mode to either Focus or Iris, so that it can be controlled by the Focus-Iris
unit.
3. Press the POWER button (5) momentarily. The power LED just above the switch
will light.
4. Use the push-button switches (7) to match the channel as shown in the display
(6) to the channel of the receiving unit.
5. Select the desired mode – focus or iris:
• If an MDR2 is being controlled, the Mode switch determines
which motor ( focus or iris) will respond to the control knob.
• If a Video Lens control is being used, the Mode setting of both
units must match (focus or iris).
6. When the Focus-Iris unit establishes communication with the Motor Driver or
Dimmer, the LINK LED (4) will glow. The color will indicate the signal strength as
described in the previous section.
7. The Control Knob (15) will now control either the motor or LED light.
8. The Camera Run LED located above the R/S Switch (3) indicates the camera
status.
9. To set Lens Limits:
a. Use the Control Knob to move the lens to one end of the desired range.
b. While pressing the SET BUTTON (9), turn the Control Knob until the lens
reaches the other end of the desired range.
c. Release the SET BUTTON.
d. The end limits of lens rotation are indicated by the solid glowing bars.
The moving bar shows the current lens position.
e. The limits can be removed by pressing the RESET button momentarily.

the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
* Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
* Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
* Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
* Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This equipment has been verified to comply with the limits for a class B computing device,
pursuant to FCC Rules. Operation with non-approved equipment is likely to result in interference
to radio and TV reception.
The user is cautioned that changes and modifications made to the equipment without the
approval of manufacturer could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference and
(2) This device must accept any interference received including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
FCC RF EXPOSURE STATEMENT
To satisfy RF exposure requirements, this device and its antenna must operate with a
separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or
operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
