ARRI 416 Manuel D’Utilisation

The main reason for damage to the IVS is incorrectly wired 

cables connected to any of the IVS outputs. Even if some 

faults do not cause immediate destruction, they put the IVS 

at risk and may eventually cause failures of the IVS unit. 

Therefore the IVS checks for the following wrong conditions 

on the outputs:

•  Bridge between camera power supply ground and 

video signal ground (e.g. shield of BNC sockets)

•  Bridge between positive camera power supply and 

video signal ground (e.g. shield of BNC sockets)

•  Bridge between positive camera power supply and 

housing of the camera and/or IVS

•  AC between camera power supply and video signal 

ground (e.g. shield of BNC sockets)

•  AC between camera power supply and housing of the 

camera and/or IVS

•  AC between housing of the camera/IVS and video 

signal ground (e.g. shield of BNC sockets)

If one of the above described conditions is detected, the 

Cable Warning LED (CBL) will light up. Disconnect all cables 

form the IVS and/or ARRIFLEX 416 until the warning 

disappears. Do not use the faulty cable again.

Note: 

The above mentioned faults are caused by 3rd 

party cables, improper cables, faulty cables or 

a fault condition on equipment connected to 

these cables. Please report such conditions 

immediately to the camera owner.
