Electrical connections
All external ports are located at the back of the head (see Fig. 2 on page 12). When installing
cabling, it is important that all cables are dressed and secured to prevent any interference with
the pan and tilt movements of the head. Cables can be secured to the cable restraint [14] located
on the back of the head. It is important that all cables are connected on the head before the
payload is balanced, as the weight of the cables affects the balance of the head.
Power and Ethernet connections
The head has an internal power supply unit that allows for mains power to be supplied to the
head directly from the studio supply, or from a Fusion pedestal or height drive. The power and
Ethernet cables are usually combined. A studio floor cable can be used to connect the head to
the studio power and Ethernet data communications. A shorter combined cable, the Head
communication cable, is supplied with the Fusion pedestal or height drive provides connection
between the pedestal or height drive and the head. For more information consult the relevant
Fusion pedestal or height drive Operators Guide.
Connecting the head to a Fusion pedestal or height drive
When mounting an FH-100 or FHR-100 head onto a Fusion pedestal (FP-145/FP-188) or height
drive (FPH-188), the power and Ethernet supply to the head can be obtained directly from the
pedestal/height drive using the Head communication cable, thereby reducing the number of floor
cables. The power and Ethernet connections from the Fusion pedestal/height drive to the head
are shown in Fig. 8.
