VCM-D1 Single Channel DriverFeatures


The UNIBLITZ® VCM-D1 is the optimal driver for the CS, LS, VS, andXRS series shutter devices.



Normally-open or normally-closed shutter operation.

Exposure determined by external pulse (BNC, TTL) or switch contactclosure. Pulsed on/pulsed off exposure control (BNC, TTL) from external trigger pulse or remote actuate cable.

Selectable pulse energy for operation of the 35, 45, 65 and 90mm shutter types.

Internal fuse protection for all DC output voltages



710A shutter interconnect cable included (7-pin WPI female to 5-pin SWC male, 3 meters)Electronic Synchronization system can be disabled via rear panel function switch.

Up to 8 units can be controlled independently from one computer serial
port. Units can be easily daisy chained with an 810RJ cable (please see“Available Accessories”).

RS-232C input and output connection accessible via dual RJ45 connector. All inputs and AUX output controllable via RS-232 interface.

The key switch on the VCM-D1’s front panel allows the selection of three operating modes:
STD: Standard shutter operation (STD) exposure determined by external pulse source or switch contact closure.
A: Line interrupt (A) with power loss; unit powers down. When power is restored, unit must be manually or remotely reset toresume standard operation.
B: DC interrupt (B) detects break in external switch contact. When continuity is restored, unit must be manually or remotely
reset to resume standard operation.
LOCAL/REMOTE switch allows manual operation of the shutter without requiring removal of external input signals.

Drawings
Rear Panel

Front PanelAll main input/output functions can be accessed at the VCM-D1
rear panel, including the 115/230VAC input which is manually
selectable. BNC connectors allow for quick termination of TTL
command signals. Function switches A-F determine the active
state of the BNC inputs or outputs (high or low level active).
Function switch H selects HIGH/LOW energy level. Function
switch G will disable the SYNC output BNC and disable the IR
emitter of the synchronization circuit within the shutter used.

LED indicators reveal shutter status at a glance, while theMODE key switch will set the unit to a specific interrupt mode
not allowing an inadvertent change in setting once the key isremoved. Additional interrupt functions are available at theMODE CONTROL 7-PIN pluggable connector. The AUX output and +5VDC output are also available at the MODE CONTROL connector.
