Start-Up Instructions
FT-FAT60
These instructions will guide you through the initial setup of your
FlashTiming system. First, we'll connect the camera to the FT-FAT timer unit to the
computer and check for live feed from the camera in the FlashTiming software.
A. Install FlashTiming.
FlashTiming
Install on your computer by running Setup from the CD. The install
program will install the FlashTiming application and drivers for the Sensorory Digital
Converter. It will also install DotNet4.0 if not previously installed on you computer.
Accept all defaults during the installation process.
B. Connect the Camera to the FT-FAT60 timer unit using the Video/Power
Cable.
The ends of the video/power cable are split. One end contains a BNC connector and a
male power plug. Connect the power plug to the short cable on the back of the camera.
Connect the cable's BNC connector to
the back of the camera. Secure the
connection by twisting it ¼ turn
clockwise.
Use the male RCA adaptor that comes
with the cable to connect the other
end of the cable to the FT_FAT60
timer unit. Attach the RCA adaptor to
the BNC connector. (In some cases,
the adaptor may already be attached.)
Insert the male RCA adaptor into the
RCA female outlet on the back panel
FT-FAT60
of the timer unit marked
"From Camera".
Connect the male power plug of the video/power cable (same end that is connected to
the timer unit) to the 24 volt transformer. Plug in the transformer to a standard wall
socket.

C. Connect the Timer Unit to the computer using the USB cable.
FT-FAT60
The square connector on the USB cable plugs into the back panel of the
timer unit in the port labeled "To Computer". A message may pop up on the computer
stating drivers are being installed.
FT-FAT60
The light on the back panel of the timer unit will turn solid green when the
drivers are installed and the video camera is detected.
Note: A blinking green light denotes that the unit has power but does not detect the
video. Check the connection between the camera and the FT-FAT60 and be sure the
video camera has power if the light is blinking green
.
