1x 4-pin to 4-pin Teradek RT Motor Cable
RANGEFINDER MODULE
TOF.1 is a compact, aordable, and lightweight distance measurement device that is
designed to work with Teradek RT devices. TOF.1 can be plugged into an MDR.X unit,
which communicates measured distance information to either a Teradek RT CTRL.1
or CTRL.3 controller. The distance information can also be displayed on a compatible
SmallHD monitor via a serial connection.

POWER AND CONNECT
Connect power to MDR.X’s PWR port.
From the MDR.X, navigate to the RX CONFIG>RANGE FNDR menu, then select
MID MOTOR. The rangefinder will begin communicating with the MDR.X.
Connect TOF.1 to MDR.X’s middle motor input using a motor cable.

If you haven’t done so already, pair your controller with the MDR.X. Ensure that
both devices are on the same channel and using the same units of measurement.

TOF.1 powers up when connected to an MDR.X.
5From both the controller (CTRL.3 only) and MDR.X, navigate to the BUTTONS
menu and assign the Display option (DISP) to one of the six buttons.
6Return to the main screen and press the DISP button until the Rangefinder
information is displayed on both devices.

CALIBRATE TOF.
Before beginning the calibration process, ensure that your controller and MDR.X
are paired, using the same units of measurement, and the AUTOFOCUS feature is
disabled on the controller.
Use a measuring tape to determine the distance between your camera’s film plane
and the object you’re using to calibrate.
Point your camera and TOF.1 towards a flat object such as a gray target card or
a wall.

After measuring the distance, use the up and down menu buttons to adjust the
oset so that the displayed distance matches the distance measured in step 4.

Navigate to RANGE FNDR> CALIBRATE from either the controller or MDR.X.

TOF.1’s sensor has a 3° detection angle that determines
how big the detection circle is at any given range. As your
target moves back and forth, the size of the detection
circle increases and decreases. For example, if your
target is 16ft (5m) away, the detection circle is
approximately 10in (26cm) in diameter.

Point your camera and TOF.1 towards the measured distance you want in focus.
Select YES to enable Auto-focus. The motors will adjust the focus according to the
measured distance.

AUTOFOCUS
NOTE: Before enabling the Auto-Focus feature, you must create a lens map for the lens
you are currently using, then select it for use with your controller. Refer to your controller’s
quick start guide for instructions on how to configure a lens map.
