RoHS 2 - 2011/65/EU Intended use iQ-Near Focus is used to focus the automatic focusing system of a camera to a defined, short distance with high temporal accuracy. A high contrast, translucent checkerboard chart is used for this purpose. A typical use of iQ-Near Focus is to measure the camera release time in conjunction with the LED- Panel.
1.3.3 Safety distance Keep to a safe distance of approximately 1 m from the device during operation to ensure user safety. The iQ-Near Focus comes with an extended wire remote control to keep a safe distance. Emergency STOP switch Figure 1: Safety distance during operation Of course, this distance cannot be maintained while using the control unit (located below chart housing) to make adjustments.
• Hex keys for frame assembly Commissioning The iQ-Near Focus comes almost ready to use. The following assembly steps need to be performed before using it: • Step 1: Mount the feet of the frame to the lower frame using the hex keys.

Slide the frame parts towards one another until both sides' gliders are fully seated in the groove. Then place the supplied profile caps on the open ends of the frame. A rubber mallet can be helpful here. Finally, tighten the hand levers to secure the upper frame's position. Image Engineering Seite 7 von 12...
Solution: Reset the device by pressing the “Reset” button and perform a homing procedure by pressing the “Homing” button. If iQ-Near Focus cannot be reset, disconnect the device from the power source, wait for five seconds, and reconnect it.
