Cable Management

To ensure a safe and tidy installation, all cables connected to the
head should be dressed and secured using the cable management
bracket(s) supplied. Cables can also be secured to the tripod leg
using the cable ties provided.
CAUTION! Leave sufficient slack in the cables between the
fixed mounting and the head for free and full range of
movement.
CAUTION! Cables
must be secured to the
cable management
bracket when the head

Powering Up

WARNING! Ensure that all personnel are clear from the
robotic equipment before powering up.
CAUTION! Disengage the tilt lock before powering up.
Before powering up the head, ensure that all external cable
connections have been secured. To power up, press the power
button located on the side of the head. The head will not move when
powered up, but zoom and focus servos on the camera will take up
their default positions on analogue lenses.
The LEDs located at the rear of the head indicate that data
communications (green LED) and a genlock signal (amber LED) is
present. If the LEDs do not illuminate on power up, refer to the
Troubleshooting section of this manual (see page 17).
Note: FH-145 only – The head can be switched to MANUAL mode
using the control switches on the side of the head; this
disengages the robotic drives and engages the drag modules.
Drag settings engage with an audible 'click'. If the dial is
between settings, drag is 'disengaged' and not fully effective.
Configuring the Head
The head can now be configured for the studio environment using
the ICE Tool (Intelligent Control Engineering) software.
For details refer to the ICE Tool Configuration Guide (publication
no. V4096-4985) which is available on the USB memory stick
supplied (see page 5).
