cnder III – User Guide – 01/2017

1. General information and safety precautions

1.1. General information

Dear customer, we would like to take this opportunity to thank you for purchasing cnder III.

Please read this user manual carefully and keep it available for future reference.

cnder III has been tested for manufacturing quality and operating functions carefully before leaving our

hands. In order to allow smooth performance, it is essential that you make yourself familiar with this user

manual and that you follow the operating instructions as described.

Any violation of these instructions could cause serious injuries and damage to the system or to other

connected devices.

Warning:

cmotion can guarantee successful performance only if original cmotion components and accessories

are used.

Note:

If you have any questions, or you need to order parts, please note the component´s model and serial

number. This information can be either found on the cmotion product label or within the system‘s

“about“ menu.

For support requests, please supply the installed rmware number of all system components referring to

the component‘s “about“ menu.

Please visit http://cmotion.eu/show/support for up-to-date product information and software updates

regularly.

1.2. General safety precautions

• Do not put anything near the motors while motors are moving!

• Make sure all components (cnder III, camin, lens motors, etc.) are mounted securely!

• Remove batteries from components before transportation or storage!

• Never open the product. Repairs should be done by authorized service centers only!

• Use original cmotion replacement parts only!

• If operating in wet weather, general safety precautions for handling electrical equipment in wet

weather conditions should be taken!

• Always protect the product from moisture, cold, heat, dirt, vibration, shock or aggressive

substances!

• Do not remove any screws which are secured with screw lock!

• Do not remove any warranty seals!

1.3. Safety precautions using class 1 and class 2 lasers

cnder III uses an invisible class 1 laser for distance measurement and a visible class 2 laser as a

pointer (alignment laser). The invisible class 1 laser used for measuring is based on the norm

EN 60825-1:2015. Therefore, it will not cause any damage to the human eye. The visible class 2

alignment laser is equivalent to the norm IEC825-1/DIN EN 60825-1:2015 and similar to a laser class 2

based on FDA 21 CFR.

Damage to the human eye is possible if exposed directly for an extended period of time. Whenever the

eye is exposed to this laser, the bodyʼs natural reex is to close the eyelid as quickly as possible.

However, this reex can be aected by pharmaceuticals, alcohol or drugs. Under regular working

conditions no additional safety precautions are necessary. Do not stare into any laser radiation source(s)

or shine into the eyes of others. It is safe to view a diuse-reected beam.

Do not dismantle the unit in any way. Doing so may expose laser radiation in excess of class 1,

class 1M, class 2 or class 2M limits respectively.

Warning:

Always avoid direct eye contact with the beam of the red alignment laser. Staring into the visible

class 2 laser may cause permanent eye damage.

Note:

Depending on camera manufacturer and in rare disadvantageous angle where the measuring laser could

bounce back into the lens if shooting reective surfaces, the reection of the invisible class 1 laser´s

measusring spot might be visible in camera.

2. Component overview

2.1. cnder III

2.1.1. Main component overview

cnder III is an optical distance measurement tool that works with an invisible class 1 laser. The

laser has a measurement range of 1 m – 150 m (approx. 3.3 – 492 ft) and an accuracy range of less

than +/- 5 cm (approx. +/- 2 inches) (depending on environmental conditions / target surface, color

and reectivity).

A visible class 2 laser (alignment laser) is used to visualize the relative position of the invisible

class 1 laser‘s measuring spot.

2.2. Reector sight

2.2.1. Main component overview

The reector sight uses a small light which is projected onto a curved semi-transparent mirror.

From there the light is reected towards the operators eye. The reector sight can be attached to

the NATO rail of cnder III easily (Allen key, size 3 mm required). For further operation the target

mark (red/green spot) of the reector sight needs to be aligned to the measuring laser which is

represented by the visible alignment laser of cnder III. After alignment the operator can target and

track objects easily referring to the superimposed marker within the reector sight while lming.

Note:

This red/green spot reected from the semi-transparent mirror is not harmful to the human eye and

can be watched without any safety precautions.

2.2.2. Detailed component description (Image 2: Reector sight)

1. tilt adjustment wheel with protective cap (athead screwdriver required)

2. pan adjustment wheel with protective cap (athead screwdriver required)

3. rotary switch to activate target mark

• at position “G“ the target mark is o

• turn the rotary switch clockwise to activate GREEN target mark in 1-5 light intensities

• at position “R“ the target mark is o

• turn the rotary switch clockwise to activate RED target mark in 1-5 light intensities

4. NATO rail slide mount using M4 screws (Allen key, size 3 mm required)

Battery:

The target mark of the reector sight is powered by a 3 V lithium coin style battery (CR 2032).

Replace the battery if the target mark dims or does not light up at all. To install the battery, unscrew

the battery cap on top of the rotary switch and insert the battery with the positive terminal facing

up. Screw the battery cap back on again.

Note:

Always remember to turn o the target mark of the reector sight (position “G“ or “R“) once you are

nished using it.
