SP-2000/X-Y AutoCam™ Pedestal - Vinten Radamec

SP-2000/X-YSafety & IntroductionCollision Bumper And Bumper OverrideThe skirts around the base of the pedestal contain a collision detection bumperthat automatically stops the pedestal if it collides with an obstacle. The bumperas shown below is electro-optical and is an integral part of the cable skirt..Loosen To AdjustSkirt HeightCollision BumperThe electro-optical bumper system does require calibration - see Chapter 4When a collision occurs, the sequence of events is:1. The pedestal involved in the collision stops immediately. Pan, tilt, zoom,focus and pedestal height are still active, so operation can still continueusing a stationary pedestal.2. An error message (“dolly “n” stopped, bumper contact”) appears on thecontroller touchscreen where “n” is the number of the pedestal that trippedits bumper. A “B” appears in the column of the pedestal that has tripped itsbumper circuit. Touch anywhere on the screen to clear the error messageand continue operation.3. As soon as is practical, check the work area to clear the obstacle thatcaused the collision and use LOCATE mode (see Controller User Manual)to back the pedestal away. Be aware that the other pedestals in the studioare still active and can move at any time.The “B” will disappear indicatingthat the bumper circuit is reset. Normal operation can now continue.Bumper OverrideIn the unlikely event that a pedestal stops due a failure in the collision detectionsystem, or the bumper does not reset after a collision, it is still possible to continueoperating in an emergency. In this situation, the “B” on the screen will notdisappear when you back away from the obstacle but you can still operate thepedestal.1-8 User Manual
