Servicing
General
The FCS-16 Fusion Control System is robustly made to high engineering standards and little attention is re-
quired to maintain serviceability save regular cleaning. Attention to the following points will ensure a long and
useful service life with minimum need for repair.
Cleaning
During normal studio use, the only cleaning required should be a regular wipe over with a lint-free cloth. The
touch screen should be regularly cleaned with a lint-free cloth moistened with either water, IPA (Isoprophyl al-
cohol) or Hexane to remove fingerprints and dust. Refer to the touch screen monitor user‘s manual included
with the system for further information specifically regarding the touch screen.
Routine checks
During use, check the following:
• Check the condition of floor targets, replace as required.
• Check the touch screen accuracy, re-calibrate as required.
• Check the data communication with cameras, pedestals and pan and tilt heads. Re-fit cables if nec-
essary.
Installing a floor target
Fusion and SP-2000 pedestal floor targets must be accurately aligned and adhered to the studio floor. Each
target establishes both an X-Y position on the floor, and also a rotational (North) reference for the associated
pedestal. Fusion targets (Fig 5) and SP-2000 targets (Fig 6) consist of black and white areas screened onto
matt finish Lexan with a self adhesive backing. The North direction of both targets (Fig 5) (Fig 6) are shown
pointing toward the top of the page.
It is important to orientate all floor targets in the same direction in the studio, normally with North pointing to-
wards the set (and corresponding with the forward direction of the pedestal). Other than targets being parallel
to each other, placement can be entirely as required. It is recommended that targets are placed in locations
where the pedestals will be parked when not in use. For example, a straight line from left to right across the
rear of the studio works well in most cases.
The recommended operating practice is to return the pedestals to their targets at the end of the show. By doing
this, the pedestals will protect the targets from any damage which may be caused by people walking on them
or scenery being moved over them. It will also help the operator to set up for the next show as the pedestals
are positioned ready to target.
