    Unless it is impossible, you should always de-energize the head before working on any part of the head, the camera/lens, or any associated equipment. Know the location of the HS-105P power On/Off switch so that you can power down the head in an emergency. Customer Responsibility It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that the workplace is safe.

  • Page 13: Operating Footprint And Safe Operating Zone

    Operating Footprint And Safe Operating Zone The operating footprint must take into account the overhang of any payload equipment mounted on the HS-105P. In particular, the payload element that pro- trudes the most defines the operating footprint area as the head pans and tilts.

  • Page 14: Power Switch

    HS-105P Safety & Introduction When the robotic heads move, the speeds involved are fairly slow. However, the equipment is still capable of generating sufficient force to cause injury. There- fore, it is essential that you exercise caution. Any failure of the system could possibly cause one or more axes to move on their own, but the speeds and forces should not be noticeably greater than those encountered during normal use.

  • Page 29: Minimizing Backlash

    HS-105P Installation Minimizing Backlash It is a good idea when the lens drive is fitted (and periodically thereafter) to adjust the eccentric mounts for minimum backlash. Advance the eccentric mounts to remove any excess play between the gears. However, do not set the mounts so close that the lens barrel is tight.

  • Page 36: Pan & Tilt Limits

    Diodes across the microswitches allow the head to be backed off from the limit to re-close the switch that was open - see the HS-105P Wiring Diagram on page 8 of Chapter 4. In addition to the limit switches, jumpers in the head are used to set the electrical range of the servos.

  • Page 53: Safety

    HS-105P Maintenance And Repair Safety Service should only be performed by qualified personnel, who are familiar with the equipment. At some points inside the power supplies 120 (or 240) volts AC is exposed, with a danger of electrical shock. If you must work on a head that is powered up, place a large WARNING sign at the controller to alert other personnel that they should not attempt to use the system.

  • Page 54: Routine Maintenance

    Maintenance And Repair Routine Maintenance Aside from checking balance and overall operation periodically (once a week for example), the HS-105P pan/tilt head should require no other routine mainte- nance in the area of the motor drive and gear train. Checking Balance...

  • Page 55: Checking Overall Operation

    HS-105P Maintenance And Repair Checking Overall Operation When you check the balance, it is a good idea to check the overall operation of the head. Use the controller to exercise pan, tilt, zoom and focus through their ranges. Make sure that the movement of the head is smooth and consistent.

  • Page 56: Theory Of Operation

    The HS-105P may be used with various Vinten controllers including the HCP- 8000, LCP-8000P and MultiController II. Depending on the controller used, the HS-105P baud rate is set with jumpers on the circuit board in the head. Circuit Theory The circuit board in the head controls the four motors for pan, tilt, zoom and focus.

  • Page 59: Analog Servos

    Some typical waveforms can be found later in this manual. Zoom/Focus Servo The HS-105P board contains the motor drivers and servo loop circuitry for the zoom and focus servos (except when native lens control is employed). The inputs to the servos are position-demand voltages and feedback pot signals. The output is the current signal to the lens.

  • Page 60: Head Indexing Procedure

    Several carriers have been optimized by Vinten Inc. for popular lens types, and it is important that you have the correct one installed for your lens. Four of the resistors (and a 0 ohm link) are in the focus servo and four (and a 0 ohm link) in the zoom servo.
