Mounting and Installation
WARNING! Always ensure that all
power and auxiliary communications
cables are routed so that they do not
present any danger to personnel.
Take care when routing cables in
areas where robotic equipment is in
use.
Water, Moisture and Dust
WARNING! Protect the product from
water, moisture and dust. The
presence of electricity near water
can be dangerous.
Operating Environment
CAUTION! The product should not
be used outside the operating
temperature limits. Refer to the
product Technical Specifications for
the operating limits for the product.
Cleaning
WARNING! Risk of electric shock.
Always disconnect and isolate the
product from the power supply
before cleaning.
CAUTION! Do not use solvent or oilbased cleaners, abrasives or wire
brushes. Only use detergent-based
cleaners.
Safety when working with
Robotic Equipment
In normal operation remote-controlled
equipment can move suddenly and without
warning. Since audible warnings are not
suitable for use within the studio environment,
it is recommended that only trained personnel
be allowed to work in the active areas where
remote-controlled heads and pedestals are
located. The safe operating zone is a
minimum of 1 m (3 ft).
Safety Notes for Operators
Operators must familiarise themselves with
the working footprint of the robotic head,
including all associated equipment (lens,
zoom and focus controls, viewfinder,
prompter, etc.) to prevent inadvertent
collisions or injury to personnel.
If personnel are too close to a head or
pedestal that is about to move, the operator
should prevent the motion from starting or stop
the motion if it has started.
We strongly recommend that the operator
verifies visually that the active area is clear of
hazards and personnel, both before and
during remote operation.
Maintenance
WARNING! The fitting of non-
approved parts and accessories, or
the carrying out of non-approved
alterations or servicing can be
dangerous and could affect the
safety of the product. It may also
invalidate the terms and conditions
of the product warranty.
