    TOF.1 powers up when connected to an MDR.X. Connect power to MDR.X’s PWR port. Connect TOF.1 to MDR.X’s middle motor input using a motor cable. From the MDR.X, navigate to the RX CONFIG>RANGE FNDR menu, then select MID MOTOR. The rangefinder will begin communicating with the MDR.X.
  • Page 8: Calibrate Tof.1

    Navigate to RANGE FNDR> CALIBRATE from either the controller or MDR.X. Point your camera and TOF.1 towards a flat object such as a gray target card or a wall. Use a measuring tape to determine the distance between your camera’s film plane and the object you’re using to calibrate.
  • Page 9: Sensor Detection Angle

    SENSOR DETECTION ANGLE TOF.1’s sensor has a 3° detection angle that determines how big the detection circle is at any given range. As your target moves back and forth, the size of the detection circle increases and decreases. For example, if your target is 16ft (5m) away, the detection circle is approximately 10in (26cm) in diameter.
