Figure 4 Fusion Pedestal To Head Power & Epl Connections - Vinten RADAMEC Fusion FH-100 Operator's Manual

There are two EPL ports on the Pedestal control panel. One port is used to connect the Pedestal to the Control
Panel via an EPL Node and the other port can be used to provide the EPL data communications to the Head.
Although the Head and EPL Node can be connected to either of the ports, it is recommended that the Head is
connected to the upper port, with the EPL Node connected to the lower port, to prevent the Head
Communication cable from being dislodged by the Studio Floor cable as the pedestal moves around the studio.
The power and EPL connections from the Fusion Pedestal (FP-145/FP-188) to the Head are shown in Figure 4.
Connecting the Head to a Fusion Height Drive
When the Head is mounted onto a manual only pedestal, a Fusion Height Drive (FBH-175) can be installed to
remotely operate the height of the pedestal from a Vinten Radamec Control Panel.
The Height Drive has two power output sockets and a single power inlet socket that is connected to the studio
supply. The Head Power Output socket is used to supply power to the Head. Note that the Head Power
Output socket is controlled by the Height Drive and therefore it is switched, fused and isolated on activation of
the emergency stop button on the Height Drive. Each power connector on the Height Drive is fitted with a
connector retaining clip to prevent the cable becoming dislodged causing accidental loss of power. Always
ensure that the retaining clip is fastened.
EPL connection to the Head is supplied by the EPL Out port on the Height Drive. The EPL In port connects to
the Vinten Radamec Control Panel via the EPL Node. The Height Drive is supplied with a Head Communication
cable that can be used to connect the Height Drive to the Head.
The power and EPL connections from the Fusion Height Drive to the Head are shown in Figure 5.
