Fusion FH-100 and FHR-100 pan and tilt heads Adjusting the pan and tilt drag Both the pan and tilt mechanisms on the Fusion FH-100 head incorporate the patented Vinten lubricated friction (LF) system to ensure smooth movement of the camera about these axes which are fitted with dials to adjust the drag setting. The drag adjustment dials are mounted directly on each axis. The pan drag adjustment dial [4] is located beneath the camera cradle [1] and the tilt drag adjustment dial [21] above the connections on the side of the head (see Components and connections on pages 11 and 12). NOTE: The whip-pan facility is not affected by the pan drag setting. To increase drag, turn the appropriate dial clockwise and to decrease drag, turn the dial anticlockwise as shown in Fig. 19. Tilt drag adjustment dial 34 - + • Turn the dial in the + direction to increase drag. • Turn the dial in the – direction to decrease drag.

Operating the FH-100 VR head Operators guide WARNING! The FH-100 VR head can be operated remotely from a control panel. Ensure that the control panel operator does not attempt to select the camera whilst a camera operator is operating the head manually! The FH-100 VR will normally be operated robotically from a Fusion control panel. However, it can also be operated manually by a camera operator using the pan bars to control the movements. Hand controls can also be fitted to the pan bar handles to control the camera lens and an additional hand-control unit may be installed to automate switching between remote and manual lens controls. NOTE: The head must be rebalanced whenever equipment is removed or added, or the pan bar handles are adjusted (see Balancing the head and payload on page 25). The FH-100 VR head can be operated in three modes: • VR robotic mode (VR Mode : AUTO), • VR manual mode (VR Mode : MAN) or • Full manual mode. The VR mode is selected using the VR Mode switch [8] on the back of the head (see Fig. 3). When the head is switched on, it will initialise into the mode the switch is set to. The FH-100 VR can be switched to full manual mode by setting the large rotary switches ([10], [11]) on the side of the head to MAN (see Fig. 2). In this mode the head operates exactly the same as a standard FH-100 head, i.e. the motors and encoders are disabled and the movement drag units are enabled. Switching the FH-100 VR head from robotic to VR manual mode VR manual mode on the FH-100 VR disengages the robotic drive amplifiers, but the motors and encoders remain engaged. As the motors are still engaged, the drag modules are disengaged. To switch the FH-100 VR head from robotic to VR manual mode: 1. Set the VR Mode switch [8] on the back of the FH-100 VR to MAN. The LED on the VR Mode switch lights up when robotic control of the head is disabled, allowing the head to be moved by an operator. The selection button for that head on the control panel is greyed out. Switching the FH-100 VR head from VR manual mode to robotic mode The robotic mode (AUTO) on the FH-100 VR head provides full robotic control from the control panel. In this mode the full robotic drive system and encoders are enabled and the drag units are disabled. 35
