Remote Cord MC-4

The Remote Cord MC-4 serves two purposes: it can be used
singly as a remote cord or in combination with other MC-4 cords
for simu Itaneous operation of multiple motor-driven cameras.
One end of the MC-4 features a plug for connection into the
camera's remote control socket while the other end has plus and
minus banana-type plugs.
For remote control operation, you can attach the banana plugs
to a triggering circuit of your own design. The cable can be
extended to any length, provided that circuit resistance does not
exceed 1 kQ. For longdistance operation, however, you will find
that Modulite orfadio control systems are more convenient.
For simultaneous operation, you can connect two or more mo-
tor-driven cameras in parallel using a circuit containing two or
more MC-4 cords, plus additional wiring. (Refer to the diagram
for details.) For troublefree operation, the common electrical
leads (indicated by bold lines in the diagram) should be kept as
short as possible. In particular, the total length of each connect-
ing cord (including the MC-4 cord) from motor drive to switch
and back again must not create a resistance of more than 5Q. In
certain installations in which long cords are required, the use of
a relay box is strongly recommended.
Note: When the MC-4 cord is connected to the MD-1 2's remote con-
trol socket, the camera's meter is switched on as soon as you turn on the
motor drive's power switch.
