    Safety Instructions Safety Instructions Safety Conventions and Product Labels Structure of Safety and Warning Messages These instructions use safety instructions, warning symbols and signal words to draw your attention to different levels of risk: WARNING WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in death or serious injury.
  • Page 12: General Safety Instructions

    Risk of fire Risk of short-circuits and back currents to power supplies / batteries. Do not connect any external battery or power supply via the LBUS cable to the DEH-2, the Master Grips, the OCU-1 or any other LBUS Controller.
  • Page 13 Do not place the system on an unstable trolley or hand truck, stand, tripod, bracket, table or any other unstable support device. Always place the system on dedicated support devices. Use only accessories approved by ARRI. The use of accessories not approved by ARRI is at your own risk. Please observe all relevant safety guidelines. WARNING Overloading the System by Persons or Objects Risk of injury caused by the system tipping over.
  • Page 14 Safety Instructions CAUTION Risk of Damage from Battery Acid Risk of damage to the system. Remove the battery for the illuminated display and bubble level during long term storage. Replace an empty battery immediately to avoid damage from battery acid. ADVICE Part Loosening Caused by External Vibration Risk of damage to the system.

    (CG) in mind. ► Place the camera on the top of the DEH-2 encoder / fluid head, leaning it sidewards against the left side of the head (slide lock side). Push the assembly into horizontal position until you feel the click of the slide lock lever, which will be in position 1 (at this point the camera plate is clamped but still moving fore-and-aft).
  • Page 18: Pin Out

    TILT-CLK TILT-CLK-N The BiSS module inside the DEH-2 must be supplied with 12/24 V DC via the BiSS socket (pin 1). Otherwise it will not work. Please note that only one of the two interfaces (LBUS or BiSS) is active at the same time. You...
  • Page 19: Lbus Setup

    LBUS Setup ADVICE Read and understand this operating manual, before you use the DEH-2 encoder / fluid head. Read and understand the user manuals of the components used with the DEH-2 (e.g. LBUS controllers like Master Grip Wheel / Rocker, OCU-1, DEP-1) before installation and operation.

  • Page 21: Cleaning And Repair

    Repairs carried out by Untrained Personnel Risk of injury and damage. Do not try to repair the device yourself. Repairs may only be carried out by authorized ARRI service partners. For repairs and maintenance work on the system, please contact the ARRI Service.
  • Page 22: To Change The Battery

    To Change the Battery ADVICE The DEH-2 is equipped with a battery to supply the illuminated display and bubble level. Never use a rechargeable battery. Only use a 6LR61 type 9V battery in the DEH-2. Disconnect and remove the battery during long term storage.
  • Page 23: Transportation, Storage And Disposal

    Follow the specified environmental conditions. Do not store the accessories in places where they may be subject to temperature extremes, direct sunlight, high humidity, severe vibration or strong magnetic fields. If you have any questions regarding the transport or storage of ARRI products, please contact the ARRI Service.
  • Page 24: Specification Of The Biss Protocol

    Specification of the BiSS Protocol Specification of the BiSS Protocol Bidirectional Serial Sensor Interface (BiSS) The Serial BiSS communication differentiates between the fast transmission of sensor data and the slower transmission of register data. The transmission of sensor data is unidirectional; here, encoder can only output data, whereas the bidirectional transmission of register data can include read and write access.
  • Page 25 Specification of the BiSS Protocol Chart: Alignment Bits Register – mode ( BiSS – Interface) The register communication is initiated by a low signal following the first falling edge from the master on the clock line. The master keeps the clock line on low until the encoder reacts with a falling edge on the data line and thus signaled the changeover to register mode.
  • Page 26 Specification of the BiSS Protocol Register mode: Write When data is being written to a register, after the encoder has confirmed the mode changeover the same addressing sequence as for read access is used (with the WNR bit at “1”). Following the second start bit the master transmits the data to be written which encoder returns for verification, bit by bit one clock pulse later.
  • Page 27 Specification of the BiSS Protocol Timing BiSS Register Mode Example for read register 78h Keep clock active until start bit is sent by encoder. Approx. time ~ 416 μs.
  • Page 28 Specification of the BiSS Protocol See Figure: The clock should be applied until encoder sends ACK ( ~ 416 μs). This time is needed because the ASIC has to read the EEPROM internally before sending the data. There are different times for different registers because registers are mapped either directly in the ASIC or externally to an EEPROM value (takes more time).
