Fusion FP-188 pedestals and FPH-188 height drives Selecting manual or robotic mode On the FP-188 pedestal robotic control is independently selected for vertical (Z) column movement and horizontal (X and Y) pedestal movement. On the FPH-188 only the vertical (Z) column can be controlled robotically, X,Y movement is manual. To engage the automatic height mode, proceed as follows: 28 WARNING! 1. Display prominent warning signs in studios alerting personnel that robotic equipment is present and may move without warning. 2. Only operate the pedestal remotely if you are able to see it, to avoid obstacles and collision hazards. 3. Only operate the pedestal on stable studio floor surfaces. DO NOT operate the pedestal near floor edges over which the pedestal may fall, as this can cause personal injury and/or damage the equipment. NOTE: Movement indicators will flash to warn when an FP-188 pedestal moves across the floor. 1. Rotate the cable release button [37] anti-clockwise and fully depress the moving column [32] under hand restraint to engage the robotic height drive. 2. Depress and rotate the height mode knob [20] clockwise to select robotic operation. The column will remain depressed under the control of the robotic height drive. CAUTION! Ensure that the pedestal load is balanced before driving the column remotely, to prevent damage to the drive system (see Balancing the load on page 24 for instructions). To select manual column operation, proceed as follows: 1. Fully depress the moving column under hand restraint and depress and rotate the height mode knob [20] anti-clockwise to select manual operation. 2. 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.
Selecting/deselecting robotic steering on the FP-188 Operators guide To engage robotic steering mode on an FP-188 pedestal, rotate the steering mode knob [9] fully anti-clockwise to the AUTO position and set the changeover knob to CRAB. NOTE: When automatic steering mode is selected, the steering ring rotates freely and cannot be used for manual steering. To select manual pedestal movement/steering on an FP-188 pedestal, rotate the steering mode knob [9] clockwise to the MAN position and rotate the steering ring [19] to re-engage the pedestal wheels. Movement indicators On FP-188 pedestals the movement indicators [36] will flash to warn when the pedestal moves across the floor. The indicators also flash when the camera unit is initialised by the control system, to confirm the correct unit has been selected. Consult the relevant Vinten Radamec Control System Operators Guide for further information. Emergency stops If the EMERGENCY STOP button [4] is pressed, power to the pedestal is immediately cut and a moving pedestal will come to a halt. This loss of power will also affect any device plugged into the Head power socket [25], such as the Fusion pan and tilt head. CAUTION! Power is not disconnected from the auxiliary (Aux) power socket. To reset the emergency stop mechanism, twist and lift the STOP button [4]. Power will be reinstated immediately, but the FP-188 pedestal will need re-initialising from the control system. Consult the relevant Vinten Radamec Control System Operators Guide for more information on re-initialising the pedestal. Collision detection (FP-188 only) If an FP-188 pedestal collides with an obstacle when in robotic mode, sensors contained in the bumper strip [10] immediately halt the pedestal (see Fig. 9). Adjusting bumper sensitivity Collision detection excludes the area of the power box on the South side of the pedestal as shown in Fig. 9 below. Bumper sensitivity can be adjusted for the bumper strip [10] using the bumper sensitivity potentiometer [13] (see Fig. 1). NOTE: Bumper sensitivity at the control box/alignment sensor is factory set and cannot be adjusted. 29
