6 VRC System Operators Guide
Important safety instructions
This product is designed and manufactured to meet strict quality and safety standards. However, it is
important that you are aware of the following installation and operation precautions. Many of these
instructions are commonsense precautions, but for your own safety and to ensure that you do not damage
the equipment, we recommend that you read them.
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 VRC System is designed for use within
television studios to remotely control cameras,
pan/tilt heads and pedestals. Only trained
television camera operators should use this
product. This product is not suitable for use
outdoors in an exposed 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.
4. Climate
The equipment should not be used outside the
operating limits. Refer to the Technical
Specification in the Technical Guide 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 using a
vacuum cleaner.
6 Servicing
You should not attempt to service the equipment.
Contact Camera Dynamics Ltd or your local
distributor to arrange servicing. Refer to the
Technical Guide for information on regular
maintenance.
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 Guide 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.
