Operation
Powering up
When the system is ready, ensure that all external cable connections are complete and the tilt
lock [7] is disengaged before switching the power to the head ON [18]. The FH-100 head should
not move when power is switched on, but zoom and focus will take up demanded positions on
analogue lenses. The pan and tilt movements of the Fusion head are controlled using the control
panel joystick.
Locking the camera cradle
Before making any adjustments to the payload or camera, the tilt lock [7] must be engaged. The
tilt lock prevents the camera cradle from moving on the tilt axis. The tilt lock mechanism is
operated by a button located on the top of the FH-100 as shown in Fig. 15.
To engage the tilt lock, proceed as follows:
1. Steady and hold the camera cradle [1] in the horizontal position.
2. Lift the tilt lock button upward whilst gently rocking the camera cradle side-to-side,
until the button latches.
To release the tilt lock, proceed as follows:
1. Gently rock the camera cradle side-to-side whilst pushing down on the tilt lock button
(see Fig. 15).
WARNING!
Ensure that all personnel and hazards are clear of robotic equipment
BEFORE switching the power on.
