1. General information and safety precautions
1.1. General information
Dear customer, we would like to take this opportunity to thank you for purchasing cnder III.
Please read this user manual carefully and keep it available for future reference.
cnder III has been tested for manufacturing quality and operating functions carefully before leaving our
hands. In order to allow smooth performance, it is essential that you make yourself familiar with this user
manual and that you follow the operating instructions as described.
Any violation of these instructions could cause serious injuries and damage to the system or to other
connected devices.
Warning:
cmotion can guarantee successful performance only if original cmotion components and accessories
are used.
Note:
If you have any questions, or you need to order parts, please note the component´s model and serial
number. This information can be either found on the cmotion product label or within the system‘s
“about“ menu.
For support requests, please supply the installed rmware number of all system components referring to
the component‘s “about“ menu.
Please visit http://cmotion.eu/show/support for up-to-date product information and software updates
regularly.
1.2. General safety precautions
• Do not put anything near the motors while motors are moving!
• Make sure all components (cnder III, camin, lens motors, etc.) are mounted securely!
• Remove batteries from components before transportation or storage!
• Never open the product. Repairs should be done by authorized service centers only!
• Use original cmotion replacement parts only!
• If operating in wet weather, general safety precautions for handling electrical equipment in wet
weather conditions should be taken!
• Always protect the product from moisture, cold, heat, dirt, vibration, shock or aggressive
substances!
• Do not remove any screws which are secured with screw lock!
• Do not remove any warranty seals!

1.3. Safety precautions using class 1 and class 2 lasers
cnder III uses an invisible class 1 laser for distance measurement and a visible class 2 laser as a
pointer (alignment laser). The invisible class 1 laser used for measuring is based on the norm
EN 60825-1:2015. Therefore, it will not cause any damage to the human eye. The visible class 2
alignment laser is equivalent to the norm IEC825-1/DIN EN 60825-1:2015 and similar to a laser class 2
based on FDA 21 CFR.
Damage to the human eye is possible if exposed directly for an extended period of time. Whenever the
eye is exposed to this laser, the bodyʼs natural reex is to close the eyelid as quickly as possible.
However, this reex can be aected by pharmaceuticals, alcohol or drugs. Under regular working
conditions no additional safety precautions are necessary. Do not stare into any laser radiation source(s)
or shine into the eyes of others. It is safe to view a diuse-reected beam.
Do not dismantle the unit in any way. Doing so may expose laser radiation in excess of class 1,
class 1M, class 2 or class 2M limits respectively.
Warning:
Always avoid direct eye contact with the beam of the red alignment laser. Staring into the visible
class 2 laser may cause permanent eye damage.
Note:
Depending on camera manufacturer and in rare disadvantageous angle where the measuring laser could
bounce back into the lens if shooting reective surfaces, the reection of the invisible class 1 laser´s
measusring spot might be visible in camera.

2. Component overview
2.1. cnder III
2.1.1. Main component overview
cnder III is an optical distance measurement tool that works with an invisible class 1 laser. The
laser has a measurement range of 1 m – 150 m (approx. 3.3 – 492 ft) and an accuracy range of less
than +/- 5 cm (approx. +/- 2 inches) (depending on environmental conditions / target surface, color
and reectivity).
A visible class 2 laser (alignment laser) is used to visualize the relative position of the invisible
class 1 laser‘s measuring spot.

2.2. Reector sight
2.2.1. Main component overview
The reector sight uses a small light which is projected onto a curved semi-transparent mirror.
From there the light is reected towards the operators eye. The reector sight can be attached to
the NATO rail of cnder III easily (Allen key, size 3 mm required). For further operation the target
mark (red/green spot) of the reector sight needs to be aligned to the measuring laser which is
represented by the visible alignment laser of cnder III. After alignment the operator can target and
track objects easily referring to the superimposed marker within the reector sight while lming.
Note:
This red/green spot reected from the semi-transparent mirror is not harmful to the human eye and
can be watched without any safety precautions.
2.2.2. Detailed component description (Image 2: Reector sight)
1. tilt adjustment wheel with protective cap (athead screwdriver required)
2. pan adjustment wheel with protective cap (athead screwdriver required)
3. rotary switch to activate target mark
• at position “G“ the target mark is o
• turn the rotary switch clockwise to activate GREEN target mark in 1-5 light intensities
• at position “R“ the target mark is o
• turn the rotary switch clockwise to activate RED target mark in 1-5 light intensities
4. NATO rail slide mount using M4 screws (Allen key, size 3 mm required)
Battery:
The target mark of the reector sight is powered by a 3 V lithium coin style battery (CR 2032).
Replace the battery if the target mark dims or does not light up at all. To install the battery, unscrew
the battery cap on top of the rotary switch and insert the battery with the positive terminal facing
up. Screw the battery cap back on again.
Note:
Always remember to turn o the target mark of the reector sight (position “G“ or “R“) once you are
nished using it.
