POWER AND CONNECT

Attach the motor(s) to the rods/lens.

Connect the motor to Latitude using a 4-pin connector. If connecting two motors, use a Y-cable
4-pin connector to connect both motors. The motor(s) will then begin calibrating.

Insert an LP-E6 battery in the controller and hold down the POWER button for two seconds. If
using a Latitude MB, you must also insert an LP-E6 battery into the unit.
PAIR CONTROLLER AND RECEIVER
There are two pairing methods if the controller is new or has not been paired to a receiver.
Wireless Pairing
Press the MENU button on the controller, then navigate to WIRELESS>FIND RECV to scan for active
receivers and automatically pair. The LED on the controller will turn green once paired.
Wired Pairing
Connect a 5-pin connector from the controller’s wired-mode input (H) to the IN-1 input on Latitude.
The controller and receiver will remain paired even after disconnecting the 5-pin connector. The LEDs
on the controller and receiver will turn blue once paired.

STANDALONE OPERATING MODES
LATITUDE M and MB receivers have several dierent operating modes. To change the receiver’s
operating mode, press the recessed operating mode button (K).
Standard Mode - GREEN LIGHT
This is the default operating mode. LATITUDE will accept controller (wireless) and/or thumbwheel
commands, and forward them to the motor(s) and camera. Standard mode also enables LATITUDE’s
Wi-Fi access point, adding full Wi-Fi/FoolControl capability to DSMC and DSMC2 cameras.
Flight Mode - CYA N LI G HT
In Flight Mode, the Latitude will disable its wireless module. This is useful for saving battery power if
the system is being controlled via wired mode. No wireless data will be transmitted.
Transmitter Mode - PURPLE LIGHT
In Transmitter Mode, the LATITUDE will route the input signals (i.e. plugged into IN-1, IN-2) over the
RF link to the LATITUDE on camera. This enables many unique congurations, including using two
thumbwheels (plus LATITUDE) on a director’s monitor to control Focus/Iris and run/stop.

STANDALONE OPERATING MODES (CONT.)
Longe Range FoolControl - PINK LIGHT
If you connect your iOS device to LATITUDE’s Access Point
while in Transmitter mode, the LATITUDE will re-transmit the
FoolControl communications over the long-range RF link
to a LATITUDE on-camera, increasing the usable range of
FoolControl, This increases the usable range of FoolControl,
and is particularly suited for drone work.
