Operation
Installing the height drive
The Fusion FBH-175 height drive can be mounted on any of the supported pedestals using the appropriate
mounting kit (1), (18) (please refer to Parts List on page 21). Each mounting kit contains instructions for in-
stalling the height drive on the relevant pedestal.
Balance the pedestal
The pedestal must be overgassed to allow the height drive to function. To provide the correct amount of over-
gassing, proceed as follows:
1. Ensure the pedestal has all relevant equipment attached (pan and tilt head, camera, pan bars and any
ancillary devices and cables).
2. Add another 10 kg (22 lb) of trim weights and balance the pedestal according the pedestal’s operating
instructions.
3. Extend the pedestal column to maximum height and remove the extra 10 kg (22 lb) of trim weights.
Power connections
External mains power is connected to the power input connector (10). The FBH-175 height drive also has two
power output sockets (11) and (12). The head power output socket (11) supplies power to a Fusion head (for
more information please refer to the Fusion FH-100/FHR-100 Operators Guide–Publication Part No. V3979-
4980). This socket (11) is controlled by the height drive, it is switched (5), fused (6) and isolated on activation
of the emergency stop (16). The auxiliary power output socket (12) is protected by a system fuse, but is per-
manently live and is intended to supply ‘non moving’ auxiliary devices such as a monitor.
CAUTION! Over pressurize the pedestal to balance an extra 8 to 12 kg (17.6 to 26.4 lb) of payload
(10 kg or 22 lb nominal). Exposing the height drive to balance pressures outside of
these limits may damage the device.
WARNING! Overgassing the pedestal by 8 to 12 kg (17.6 to 26.4 lb) will reduce the ped-
estal’s maximum payload by the same amount. Do NOT exceed the maxi-
mum working pressure of the pedestal.
Note: Each power connector (10), (11) and (12) is fitted with a connector retaining clip (9) to
prevent power loss if the power cable becomes snagged.
WARNING! 1. Do NOT plug ‘moving’ devices into the auxiliary port (12). This port can
not be switched off (5) at the height drive, and is NOT affected by the emer-
gency stop (16).
2. Devices plugged into this port (12) must have an independent isolator
switch.
