Follow these steps to set up your Tilta Nucleus Nano II Motor Kit:

4.1 Mounting the Motor:

1. Attach the Nucleus Nano II Motor to your 15mm rod system using the provided 15mm rod holder and allen key.
2. Align the motor's 0.8M pitch gear with the gear ring on your lens.
3. Secure the motor in place using the tie-down screw.

4.2 Powering the Motor:

The motor can be powered via the included USB-C to USB-C cable. The motor has two USB-C ports (Port 1 and Port 2). Both ports are inputs, but only Port 1 is an output for daisy-chaining multiple motors.

• External Power Bank: Connect the USB-C cable from a universal power bank holder (mounted via 1/4"-20 to your camera cage) to either Port 1 or Port 2 on the motor.
• F970 Battery Plate: Connect the USB-C cable from an F970 battery plate (with USB-C output) to the motor. This provides increased torque.
• PD Power Handle: Connect the USB-C cable from a PD power handle (with internal battery and USB-C PD output) to the motor.

When the motor is powered, a red and white light will blink, indicating it needs calibration.

4.3 Pairing the Handwheel to the Motor:

1. On the Handwheel, swipe up from the main screen and select the 'Connect' option.
2. Select '2.4G' and then 'Channels'.
3. The Handwheel will display a list of available channels. It will automatically connect to the cleanest channel.
4. Press 'Search' on the Handwheel.
5. Double-tap the pairing button on the motor. The motor's LED will change color to indicate its assigned function (Green for Iris, Blue for Zoom, Yellow for Other/Unassigned, Purple for Focus).
6. On the Handwheel, select the cleanest option from the device list and press 'Confirm'.
7. The Handwheel and motor are now connected.

4.4 Calibrating the Motor:

After pairing, calibrate the motor to ensure accurate lens control.

• Авто калибрлөө (сунушталат): Hold down the 'Function' button on the Handwheel for 3 seconds. The motor will automatically calibrate.
