Setting Up the Timpani2

Attaching the Tilt Lock Handle
The tilt lock handle can be attached to either side of the Timpani2. To attach the handle, follow these steps:

1. Place the Timpani2 and yoke facedown on a flat surface.
2. Use the included hex key to remove one of the tilt control screws, and replace it with the tilt lock handle. Screw in the handle so the threads are engaged, but don’t tighten it.
3. Use the hex key to tighten the control screw on the other side of the yoke. Tighten it enough until there is some resistance while tilting the Timpani2 in the yoke.
4. Tighten the handle until the yoke is locked and secure.

Note: If the yoke seems too loose when the tilt lock handle is disengaged, use the hex key to slightly tighten the control screw opposite the handle.

Powering the Timpani2

Battery Power

1. Connect the 4-pin XLR cable to the power supply and the Timpani2.
2. Slide a V-mount battery into the power supply’s battery plate until it locks into place.

To remove the battery, press the battery release, and slide it off the plate.

AC Power

1. Connect the 4-pin XLR cable to the power supply and the Timpani2.
2. Connect the AC cable to the power supply and a power outlet.

Important! If the power supply is connected to both a 26 V battery and an AC power source, the power supply will draw from the 26 V battery instead of the AC power.

To preserve battery life, connect a 26 V battery to the power supply only when you intend to use it.
