Safety and About this Manual
Maintenance
Safety when Working with Robotic Equipment
In normal operation remote-controlled equipment can move suddenly
and without warning. Since audible warnings are not suitable for use
within the studio environment, it is recommended that only trained
personnel be allowed to work in the active areas where remote-
controlled heads and pedestals are located. The safe operating zone is
a minimum of 1 m (3 ft).
Safety Notes for Operators
Operators must familiarise themselves with the working footprint of the
robotic head, including all associated equipment (lens, zoom and focus
controls, viewfinder, prompter, etc.) to prevent inadvertent collisions or
injury to personnel.
If personnel are too close to a head or pedestal that is about to move,
the operator should prevent the motion from starting or stop the motion
if it has started.
We strongly recommend that the operator verifies visually that the
active area is clear of hazards and personnel, both before and during
remote operation.
About this Manual
The APS scanner is supplied either pre-installed onto the pedestal by
a service engineer in the studio, or pre-installed from the factory fitted
onto a new pedestal. This manual covers the operation and
configuration of the APS scanner and important safety instructions.
The APS scanner will only function in a studio with APS reflective
targets installed. For more information on the correct installation of the
APS reflective targets, refer to the APS Reflective Targets Installation
Guide, publication part No. V4109-4981.
