Grass Valley 3-CCD CameraMan Rev.B - Manual (Page 29)

Problem: The CameraMan Camera’s autoTRACK operation is irregular.
Solution: 1. Check the Battery LOW light on the top of the Tracking Ring Power
Pack. If the light is illuminated, the battery is low and needs to be
recharged.
2. If the battery is charged, you may need to change the RF frequency on
which the CameraMan is currently operating. To do this, change the
position of the RF CHANNEL switch on the back of the Main Docking
Station and RF CHANNEL switch on the back of the Tracking Ring Power
Pack to the opposite setting (both switch positions must match).
3. Inspect the CameraMan Camera’s location to verify that no
obstructions, such as the main power cable, are impeding its ability to
freely pan left and right or tilt up and down.
4. Verify that both antennas are connected to the Main Docking Station
and that no wires or metal objects are touching either antenna.
5. Check the battery in the Tracking System Keypad.
Note: The Keypad takes (2) AA batteries with a lifespan of two
to three months with average use. The Keypad will indicate
that its battery is low with a long beep when any button is
pressed. At that time, the battery should be replaced.
Problem: The Tracking Ring Unit’s audio is not working.
Solution: 1. Check to make sure that the AUDIO switch is set to the ON position.
2.Check the top of the Tracking Ring Power Pack to make sure the
Tracking Ring is plugged into the port marked TRACKING RING.
3.Check to see if the AUDIO light on the back of the Docking Station
illuminates when the microphone is receiving audio.
The light will only illuminate while speaking into the Tracking
Ring microphone.
4. If the AUDIO light on the back of the Main Docking Station illuminates
and you are still not receiving audio, you may have a wiring problem
from the Main Docking Station to the audio system. If this is the case,
please contact your CameraMan System Installer.
