Fusion FPR-210 + pedestal

Introduction and description
This Operators Guide describes how to set up and operate the Fusion FPR-210 +.
The FPR-210 + pedestal has been designed for integration with the Fusion FH/R-145 pan and tilt
heads and Vinten Radamec Control Systems (VRC) using the Intelligent Control Engineering
(ICE) system.
Each product within the Fusion FPR-210 + range of pedestals comprises a central two-stage,
telescopic column mounted in a moveable base. The base of the FPR-210 + pedestals are
motorised.
The pedestals can be operated manually by a camera operator within the studio or remotely
operated in robotic mode from a Fusion control system. The pedestals have a maximum payload
capacity of 95 kg (210 lb).
Column
The telescopic column [27] is pressurised from an external pressure source. Controls on the
column comprise a column lock [5], which locks the column in the fully-depressed position, and
height adjustment buttons [20], which adjust the column height when in manual mode only. The
pedestal is provided with a standard four-bolt mounting interface [2].
Base
The base is carried on four sets of wheels [11, 22], two of which are driven and two free-
wheeling, mounted on a flexible chassis to accommodate uneven floors. A height-adjustable
cable guard is provided, which can be lowered by depressing the cable guard buttons [12]
located near each corner of the base. The guard can then be raised in predefined increments
as required. Emergency stop buttons [6], lifting handles [7] and a wheel brake slider [18] are
provided on the upper surface of the base. Rotary knobs allow the operator to switch between
conventional and crab steering [19] and manual and robotic operation [10].
The cable clamps [16, 29], main power switch [28] and both power [31, 32, 35] and data
connections [30, 34] can all be found on the South side (rear) of the base, with a USB
configuration port [23] located on the North side (front) of the base. The bumper strip [8] running
around the pedestal base contains collision detection sensors which arrest movement on
contact with an obstacle.
