Cable Management

To ensure a safe and tidy installation, all cables connected to the
head should be dressed and secured using the cable manage-
ment bracket(s) supplied. Cables can also be secured to the
tripod leg using the cable ties provided.

CAUTION! Leave sufficient slack in the cables between
the fixed mounting and the head for free and full range
of movement.

Powering Up and Configuring the Head

WARNING! Ensure that all personnel are clear from
the robotic equipment before powering up.

CAUTION! Disengage the tilt lock before powering up.

Before powering up the head, ensure that all external cable
connections have been secured. To power up, press the power
button located on the side of the head. The head will not move
when powered up, but zoom and focus servos on the camera
will take up their default positions on analogue lenses.

The LEDs located at the rear of the head indicate that data
communications (green LED) and a genlock signal (amber LED)
is present. If the LEDs do not illuminate on power up, refer to the
Troubleshooting section of this manual (see page 17).

Note: FH-145 only – The head can be switched to MANUAL

mode using the control switches on the side of the head;
this disengages the robotic drives and engages the drag
modules. Drag settings engage with an audible ‘click’. If
the dial is between settings, drag is ‘disengaged’ and not
fully effective.

The head can now be configured for the studio environment
using the ICE Tool (Intelligent Control Engineering) software.

For details refer to the ICE Tool Configuration Guide
(publication no. V4096-4985) which is available on the USB
memory stick supplied (see page 5).
