Fusion FP-188 pedestals and FPH-188 height drives Installation Unpacking Unpack the pedestal ensuring that all transport packing and retaining fixings are removed, including the Velcro strap (part no. 3320-268) securing the column lock. Steering mechanism checks 18 WARNING! 1. Heavy – DO NOT lift the pedestal unaided. This product weighs up to 130 kg (286.6 lb). 2. DO NOT lift the pedestal by the steering ring—use the lifting handles on top of the pedestal base. 3. DO NOT release the column lock, if the pedestal pressure exceeds 7.2 bar (105 psi) without a balancing load installed. Reduce pressure as necessary using the Schrader valve cap. 1. Rotate the CRAB/STEER knob [17] anti-clockwise to select CRAB (x4 wheels) and turn the steering ring [19], until CRAB mode engages. Check that the pedestal “crabs” correctly, freely moving as directed by the steering ring without any rotation of the pedestal base. 2. Rotate the CRAB/STEER knob [17] clockwise to select STEER (x1 wheel) and turn the steering ring [19], until it locks in position and STEER mode engages. Check that the pedestal turns freely, rotated by the locked steering ring. Pressurising the pedestal The pedestal or height drive may be pressurised from an external pressure source (see page 20) or by using a portable pump (see page 21). Six trim weights are provided for compensation of pressure variation. CAUTION! This pedestal must be pressurised with nitrogen or clean, dry air only to prevent internal corrosion. A correctly pressurised pedestal will balance its payload—allowing movement over the full onshot stroke of the moving column with minimum effort—and maintain its position when the steering ring is released. The balance can be adjusted by adding/removing trim weights to/from the weight tray pockets [5] or by venting some of the internal pressure. CAUTION! Do not reduce pedestal pressure below 3.5 bar (50 psi). This ensures that the elevating mechanism remains in tension, preventing damage to the pedestal.
Operators guide Ascertain the payload to be fitted to the pedestal (payload = pan and tilt head, camera, lens and any other ancillary equipment). Referring to the balance graph (Fig. 4) mark the payload on the horizontal axis, then strike a vertical line from the load figure to the balance line. At the intersecting point strike a horizontal line to the vertical axis and read off the required pressure. The pedestal pressure must not exceed 7.2 bar (105 psi), check the pressure before fitting the pan and tilt head (refer to Fitting the load on page 21 for more details). psi bar 260 18 240 220 200 180 160 140 120 100 80 60 40 20 0 16 14 12 10 8 6 4 2 0 WARNING!
