Optionally additional third axis ROLL Wheel, if ordered. This manual describes necessary setup requirements and how to operate the Veracity Control Wheels. The Veracity Control Wheels system is a professional digitally controlled hand wheel system for operation of RC style camera gimbal mounts.
What is in the case? The first thing to note is the Veracity Control Wheels ship in a customized Pelican Storm™ hard case, so repackaging for field use is not required. The foam cut-outs provide spots for the PAN and TILT modules together on the default baseplate as well as the ROLL wheel, which can be added at any time as an option to the system.
Connections The Veracity Control Wheels have the following connections: PAN Wheel The PAN Wheel module is the ‘smart’ module. It has 4 Lemo connectors on the back of the enclosure. These are for Power, Data, Tilt and Roll as shown. It also has 4 LEDs and a recessed switch on the same face as the connectors.
Power Requirements The Veracity Control Wheels are a 12V or 24V DC system. They are designed to operate with voltages from 8-30V DC with a draw of less than 0.2 A at 12V. The Veracity Wheels system has built in reverse polarity protection and a self- resetting internal fuse in the event of overload.
P7) Speed Pot Powering Up 1) Apply power to the Veracity Control Wheels either via a battery or power supply (neither are supplied). The Green LED over the power connector should come on immediately. If this does not, you should check your cables and power source.
Veracity PPM (Wired to RC Controller) Operation The Veracity Control Wheels stream a PPM (Pulse Position Modulation) signal that is standard on many RC controllers. They are designed to interface with the ‘trainer’ port commonly available on RC controllers. Please see the Veracity Wired Manual for more information.
Veracity Slide Mode Switch The MODE switch function varies depending on whether the Veracity Control Wheels are in MōVI mode, Ronin mode or Maxima mode. MōVI (Standard Gimbal) With the unit in MōVI Mode, the operator has access to 3 mode-select options using the MODE select switch.
Pairing the Maxima and Veracity Control Wheels 1. See “Switching between MōVI (Standard Gimbal), Ronin and Maxima Modes” to ensure the wheels are in Maxima Mode. 2. To bind the Maxima gimbal to the Veracity Wheels, power on the Maxima and Press the OK button to get to the Main Menu.
Slice (Wireless) Zeroing/Drift Correction You may notice that when Veracity Control Wheels are connected to your gimbal system, a constant ‘drift’ or movement in a direction occurs in any of the 3 axes. This ‘drift’ is due to the Wheels sending a signal for motion when it should not be.

4. Once the drift has been corrected, press and hold the Zero Button until the LEDs stop flashing and are lit solid, then release. The LEDs will go off. The new offsets will be stored in the Veracity Control Wheels flash memory.
