Fusion FP-188 pedestals and FPH-188 height drives 22 2. Depress and rotate the automatic/manual height mode knob [20] anti-clockwise to select manual operation. Depress and rotate the cable release button [37] clockwise to disengage the robotic height drive. NOTE: It is only possible to depress and rotate the cable release button when the column is fully depressed. 3. Push down on the steering ring [19] against residual pressure and release the column lock [6]. Allow the column to extend under hand restraint. 4. Fit the pan and tilt head to the four-hole mounting plate [2] and tighten the bolts supplied with the head securely using a flat-bladed screwdriver or a spanner of the correct size. A Vinten spanner (part no. J551-001) is available for this purpose. 5. Set the column lock [6] to the ON position (see Using the column lock on page 26) and lower the moving column under hand restraint until the column lock engages. 6. Fit the camera and accessories. Ensure that all equipment (incl. pan bars, prompters, lenses, etc.) has been securely fitted. Attaching equipment at a later stage can upset the pedestal balance. 7. If the pedestal or height drive is being used manually, install three trim weights in the weight tray [5]. Mounting a Quickfix ® adaptor In situations where heads are often interchanged on pedestals and tripods, it is recommended that a Vinten heavy-duty Quickfix adaptor (part no. 3490-3) is used. The adaptor provides an easier and quicker method of mounting and removing heads from a pedestal or tripod. Mount the adaptor onto the pedestal or tripod mounting plate and secure into position following the installation instructions in the Operators Guide supplied with the adaptor (part no. 3490-8).

Operators guide The Quickfix adaptor has a safety latch mechanism that is used to secure the head into position on the Quickfix base. Safety button UNLOCKED Electrical connections Fig. 7 Vinten heavy-duty Quickfix adaptor safety latch All of the pedestal’s main external ports are located on the VR power box at the South side of the base, below the trim weight stowage slots [14] (see Fig. 1). Additional system configuration ports are located on the VR control box at the North side of the base. Power sockets External mains power is connected to the power input connector [31]. WARNING! It is recommended to use a residual current device (RCD) to protect personnel should the power cable become damaged. The pedestal also has two power output sockets ([25], [26]). Red safety latch LOCKED • The Head power output socket [25] supplies power to a Fusion head (for more information consult the relevant Operators Guide). This socket is controlled by the pedestal, it is switched [22], fused and isolated on activation of an emergency stop. • The auxiliary (Aux) power output socket [26] is protected by a system fuse, but is permanently live and intended to supply non-moving auxiliary devices, such as monitors. WARNING! DO NOT plug moving devices into the auxiliary (Aux) power port. This port cannot be switched off at the pedestal and is not affected by an emergency stop. Devices plugged into the auxiliary port must have an independent isolator switch. 23
