Vinten Radamec SE-500 Elevation Unit - Manual (Page 18)

Introduction
The SE-500 servo elevation unit (Fig 1.1) is a fixed pedestal with an electrically-operated telescopic
column designed to support a payload of up to 45.5 kg (100 lb). The camera height may be adjusted
through a 39 cm (15.5 in.) range.
Designed for use with the AutoCam HS-102P or HS-105P pan and tilt heads and the Series 200 control
system, the SE-500 allows stored height positions to be recalled with pan, tilt, zoom and focus as
required.
Description
The elevation unit consists of three main assemblies: a base assembly, an electrically-operated telescopic
column and a control box.
Base assembly
The base is carried on three 152.4 mm (6 in.) castoring wheels (5), each fitted with a brake. A cable clamp
is provided (4).
Telescopic column
The single-stage telescopic column (3) consists of a fixed assembly, which is secured to the base, and a
concentric, square-section moving stage. A steering ring (2) and mounting plate (7) are located on the top
of the moving stage.
Control box
The control box (6), on which is mounted a STOP switch, two LEDs and three connectors (Fig 2.4), is
secured to the base, adjacent to the telescopic column.
Power supply
All of the power for the elevation unit and pan and tilt head is derived from a rack-mounted power supply.
If an HS-102P pan and tilt head is installed on the elevation unit, then a PS27-5R power supply is used. In
the case of an HS-105P, a PSD27-5R power supply is used.
The serial data to control the elevation unit and head is carried through the same cable.
