Important safety instructions
1. Take heed of warnings and instructions
You should read all of the safety instructions
before operating the equipment. Retain this
operators guide for future reference and adhere
to all warnings in the guide or on the
equipment. Do not attempt to operate this
equipment if you do not understand how to
operate it.
2. Usage Statement
Do not use this product for any other purpose
other than that specified in this usage
statement. The Vinten Radamec HPM is
designed for use in television studios to
interface with the Vinten ‘E’ pan/tilt heads and
pedestals for use with studio VR systems. The
HPM is intended to be used by television
camera operators within an indoor studio
environment.
3. Water, moisture and dust
Protect the product from water, moisture and
dust. The presence of electricity near water can
be dangerous. Do not use the product near
water and take care that liquids are not spilled
onto the equipment. For outdoor applications,
only use products that are specifically designed
for outdoor usage.
4. Climate
The equipment should not be used outside the
operating limits. Refer to the Technical
Specifications for the operating range of the
equipment.
5. Cleaning
We encourage regular cleaning of the product.
• Do not use oil or grease on any exposed part of
the equipment. This is unnecessary and traps dirt
which acts as an abrasive.
• Do not use solvent or oil based cleaners,
abrasives or wire brushes to remove
accumulations of dirt as these damage the
protective surfaces. To clean mechanical
surfaces, use only detergent based cleaners.
• External electrical connection ports should only
be cleaned with a semi-stiff brush or a clean, dry
air supply.
6. Servicing
You should not attempt to service the
equipment. Contact Camera Dynamics Ltd or
your local distributor to arrange servicing.
Maintenance beyond that detailed in this guide
must be performed by competent personnel in
accordance with the procedures in the
Technical or Maintenance Manual for the
equipment.
7. Notes about Robotic equipment
Display prominent warning signs in studios,
alerting personnel that robotic equipment is
present and may move without warning. Ensure
personnel remain a minimum of 1 m (40 inches)
clear of robotic equipment in use.
Operators must familiarise themselves with the
resulting working envelope of robotic products
including all ancillary equipment (lens, zoom
and focus controls, viewfinder, prompter etc.),
to prevent inadvertent collisions.
Only operate robotic products remotely when
you can see them to avoid harm to personnel
and collisions with obstacles and other hazards.
8. Power sources
Only connect the equipment to a power supply
of the type described in the Technical
Specifications or as marked on the equipment.
9. Cables
Always ensure that all power and auxiliary
communications cables are routed so that they
do not present any danger to personnel. Take
care when routing cables in areas where robotic
equipment is in use.
