7. Notes about Robotic equipmentDisplay prominent warning signs in studios, alerting personnel that robotic equipment is present and may move without warning. Ensure personnel remain a minimum of 1 m (40 inches) clear of robotic equipment in use.

Operators must familiarise themselves with the resulting working envelope of robotic products including all ancillary equipment (lens, zoom and focus controls, viewfinder, prompter etc.), to prevent inadvertent collisions.

Only operate robotic products remotely when you can see them to avoid harm to personnel and collisions with obstacles and other hazards.

8. Power sources Only connect the equipment to a power supply of the type described in the Technical Specifications or as marked on the equipment.

9. CablesAlways 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.

Introduction

The Quattro-SE pedestal comprises a central four-stage telescopic column mounted in a steerable base.

The moving column (16) is pressurized from an external pressure source. A markable height indicator scale (17) is provided on the second section of the column allowing the operator to record camera heights for shots. A weight tray (1) is attached to the top of the column and trim weights (21), (22) are provided for fine balance. The weight tray also provides a standard four-bolt mounting (23) for a pan and tilt head and the pedestal is steered by means of a steering ring (3) mounted on its underside. A Large diameter steering ring is provided as standard and is fitted with indicators (19) to show the straight-ahead position.

The column is locked in the fully-depressed position by two safety catches (2) on the weight tray which engage with spigots at the base of the column. Drag control (4) is provided at the base of the column and an on-shot clamp (20) is provided as a secondary ring below the steering ring.

The base is carried on three sets of twin 125 mm (5 in.) wheels. A continuous height-adjustable cable guard with infinite positions is provided, raised and lowered by a single control knob (8) with a height indicator (9) below. Stowage for the trim weights is provided on the upper surface of both the pedestal base (7) and cable management system (18). Two cable clamps (12) are fitted to the vertical sides of the pedestal base. A crab/steer pedal (14) allows the operator to switch between conventional and crab steering. Position indicators (11) on each side and one corner of the base allow the camera operator to accurately position the pedestal. Lifting apertures (13) are provided on each face of the base and these also provide access to the wheels. Opto sensor indicators (10) show the position of the sensors to aid targeting.

Connections for pedestal power (25), electronic positional feedback (24) and Genlock (26) are provided via the cable management system (18).

Steering mechanism checks

Steering indicators fitted to the steering ring comprises two groups of rivets on the underside of the steering (19) as shown in (Figure 6) on page 29.

Align a steering indicator (19) with the crab/steer pedal (14). Press the pedal to select CRAB Turn the steering ring and check that all three wheels turn together and all point in the same direction.

Align a steering indicator (19) with the crab/steer pedal (14) and press the pedal to select STEER. Turn the steering ring and check that two of the wheels lock in the straight-ahead position and that the third wheel (below the crab/steer pedal) can be turned by the steering ring.

Fitting the load

The Quattro pedestal has the standard four-bolt mounting plate (23) which permits the use of various Vinten camera mounts including pan and tilt heads, Quickfix and Mitchell adapters. To fit a pan and tilt head or an adaptor it is necessary to extend the moving column.

Fit the pan and tilt head or adaptor as follows:

1. Ensure pedestal pressure does not exceed 3.5 bar (50 psi). Reduce as necessary, using the Schrader valve cap (5)..

2. Push down on the weight tray (1) against residual pressure. At the safety catches (2), push the rocker switches to the unlocked position. Allow the column to extend under hand restraint.

3. Apply the on-shot clamp (20).

WARNING!

1. Do NOT lean over the pedestal when releasing the safety catches. An over pressurized pedestal may rise rapidly when the safety catches are released, causing personal injury.

2. Always restrain the column by hand pressure on the weight tray when the safety catches are released.

WARNING!

A pressure retaining valve prevents pedestal pressure being reduced below approximately 3.5 bar (50 psi), indicated by the yellow segment on the pressure gauge (6).

CAUTION! Do NOT attempt to extend the column if the pressure (6) has dropped below 3.5 bar (50 psi), or the pedestal may be damaged.

4. Fit the pan and tilt head or adaptor and secure with the appropriate bolts.

5. Release the on-shot clamp (20) and lower the moving column under hand restraint. Push down on the weight tray (1) and push the safety catch rocker switches to the locked position.

6. With the pedestal locked in the fully depressed position, fit the camera and accessories to the pan and tilt head, ensuring that all items such as pan bars, prompters, lenses etc, are fitted. Attaching these items at a later stage may upset the pedestal balance.

7. Install one main (22) and two auxiliary trim weights (21) on the weight tray (1).

Pressurizing the pedestal

The Quattro may be pressurized from an external pressure source or by using the Vinten portable pump (Part No. 3357-3). Trim weights (22, 23) are provided for fine balance.

Ascertain the payload to be fitted to the pedestal (payload = pan and tilt head, camera, lens and all ancillary equipment). Referring to the graph (Figure 2) on page 18, mark the payload on the horizontal axis then strike a vertical line from the load figure to the balance line. At the intersecting point strike a horizontal line to the vertical axis and read off the required pressure.

The pedestal should be pressurized with the column collapsed but unlocked and free to extend.

WARNING!

1. Secure auxiliary equipment to the pedestal according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

2. Only fit suitable equipment to the four-bolt fixing.

WARNING!

Lock the pedestal in the fully depressed position before installing the camera, to provide a stable mounting surface.

NOTE: The pedestal internal pressure is greatest when the column is fully collapsed.

To pressurize the pedestal using the Vinten portable pump, proceed as follows:

1. Remove the Schrader valve cap (5).

2. On the pump (Figure 3), fold down both the feet (P.3).

3. Push in the handle release button (P.5) and move the handle (P.1) to the horizontal position, where it will lock.

4. Pull the hose (P.4) out of its stowage (P.2). Connect the hose to the pedestal charging valve (5).

5. On the pedestal, push down on the weight tray (1) against residual pressure. At the safety catches (2), push the rocker switches to the unlocked position.

6. Position the pump between the legs, standing with both feet on the fold-down feet (P.3).

7. Grip the handle (P.1) with both hands and, using full steady strokes, pressurize the pedestal to the required pressure. Do not exceed the maximum working pressure, indicated by the leading edge of the red sector on the gauge (6). Approximately 600 strokes will be required to fully charge the pedestal.

8. Disconnect the hose (P.4) from the pedestal charging valve, but do not refit the Schrader valve cap at this stage. Fit the hose in its stowage (P.2).

9. Push the pump plunger fully down, push in the handle release button (P.5) and move the handle (P.1) to the vertical position, where it will lock the pump plunger in the closed position.

10. Fold up both the feet (P.3).

Balancing the load

After pressurization of the pedestal, the pan and tilt head and payload can be accurately balanced, as follows:

1. Exercise the moving column (16) over its full travel at least twice, then position the column in the mid-height position.

2. If the column tends to fall, remove a trim weight (22, 23) or increase pressure.

CAUTION! A pressure retaining valve prevents pedestal pressure being reduced below approximately 3.5 bar (50 psi), to prevent damage to the pedestal.

20

Page 23: uattro-...EN 61000-6-2:2001 Electromagnetic compatibility - Part 6-2: Generic standards Immunity standard for industrial environments. EN 61000-3-2:2000 Electromagnetic compatibility

3. If the column tends to rise, reduce the pressure in steps of 0.15-0.20 bar (2-3 psi) using the Schrader valve cap (5).

Refit the Schrader valve cap (5).

A correctly pressurized pedestal will balance its payload such that it can be moved to any position over the full on-shot stroke of the moving column, with minimum effort, and it will maintain its position when the steering ring is released.

Fine balance and temperature correction may be achieved by adding or removing trim weights.

External connections

The Quattro-SE pedestal has a cable management system (18) which feeds the connecting cables from the three external ports located on the top of the base next to the pressure gauge (6), to the camera, Head Processing Module and pan and tilt head mounted on the weight tray (1). This self-coiling system neatly stows the cable as the moving column (16) rises and falls.

The cable management system (Figure 4) locates in the pedestal trim weight stowage slots nearest the pressure gauge (6) and provides substitute trim weight stowage (10.1) in its base.

CAUTION! The Schrader valve cap (5) forms a primary pressure seal. Always replace the cap and screw it down finger-tight to prevent pressure loss.

Power Socket

The power cable plugs into the power socket (25.1), providing power to the pedestal from the Head Processing Module via the power plug (25). For more information refer to the Head Processing Module Operators Guide (Publication Part No. V3851-4981).

Ethernet port

The ethernet cable connects to the pedestal ethernet port (24.1), from the ethernet socket on the Head Processing Unit via the ethernet connector (24). For more information refer to the Head Processing Module Operators Guide (Publication Part No. V3851-4981).

Genlock port

The Genlock cable connects to the pedestal Genlock port (26.1), from the Genlock output socket on the Head Processing Unit via the Genlock connector (26). For more information refer to the Head Processing Module Operators Guide (Publication Part No. V3851-4981).

Using the Quattro-SE pedestal

Height adjustment

The column (16) has an on-shot stroke of 97.3 cm (38.3 in.) and the load can be moved over this distance, in perfect balance, by raising and lowering the steering ring (3). The movement is adjustable for drag (4) and an on-shot clamp (20) can be used to hold the moving column in position if fixed height operation is required. A markable height indication scale (17) is provided on the second stage of the column. Operators can use this scale to record working heights to be returned to whilst shooting.

WARNING!

1. Take care not to trap fingers under the steering hub, in cable management components or between column elements while the pedestal height is being reduced.

2. Reduce pedestal height to a minimum when moving between studios over uneven or sloped surfaces, to ensure maximum stability.

3. Do NOT leave the pedestal unattended on a sloping surface, or it may roll away.

CAUTION! Do NOT use the on-shot clamp (20) to raise and lower the moving column (16). Use the steering ring (3) to avoid damaging the pedestal.

22

Page 25: uattro-...EN 61000-6-2:2001 Electromagnetic compatibility - Part 6-2: Generic standards Immunity standard for industrial environments. EN 61000-3-2:2000 Electromagnetic compatibility

Drag control

Column movement is adjustable for drag and this is set according to operator preference by means of the drag control (4) located at the base of the moving column. Turn the control clockwise to increase the drag setting, and counter- clockwise to decease it.

On-shot clamp

An on-shot clamp (20), located below the steering ring, is used to hold the column in position if fixed height operation is required. Rotate the ring fully clockwise to apply the clamp. Rotate the ring fully counter-clockwise to release the clamp.

Steering

Directional control of the pedestal is achieved by turning the steering ring (3) mounted at the top of the column. The steering system is geared so that the wheels turn by the same amount as the steering ring. This ensures, for example, that with the pedestal set to crab, turning the steering ring by 90° will also cause the pedestal to change direction by 90°. The steering ring is fitted with indicators (19) which indicate the straight-ahead position, providing a reference point when steering.

Position indicators (11) in the centre of each vertical face of the base and on one corner, allow the camera operator to accurately position the pedestal.

The pedestal has a crab/steer arrangement with a foot-operated changeover mechanism, which provides a steer setting - one wheel steering, two fixed; or a crab setting - all three wheels turning together. Pushing the pedal (14) operates the changeover mechanism which toggles the pedestal between crab and steer.

Although the button can be pressed with the wheels in any position, the changeover will not occur until the wheels are all facing forward, so the steering ring may have to be turned by up to 180° before the changeover mechanism engages. This arrangement ensures that the fixed wheels will always lock in the straight-ahead position when changing from crab to steer.

CAUTION! 1. Do NOT force the moving column (16) either upward or downward when the column lock is applied, to avoid damaging the pedestal.

2. Do NOT use the on-shot clamp (20) to raise and lower the moving column (16). Use the steering ring (3) to avoid damaging the pedestal.

NOTE: The Quattro-SE may be supplied with a steering ring with either a moulded steering indicator on the topside, or rivets (19) (illustrated) on the underside of the steering ring.

23

Page 26: uattro-...EN 61000-6-2:2001 Electromagnetic compatibility - Part 6-2: Generic standards Immunity standard for industrial environments. EN 61000-3-2:2000 Electromagnetic compatibility

Steering rings of two diameters and with either type of steering indicator may be fitted (See Changing the steering ring on page 28).

Cable clamps

Two cable clamps (12) are provided, mounted on the vertical faces of the base.

Cable guard

An infinitely adjustable, continuous cable guard is provided in the skirt of the base, raised and lowered by means of a single knob (8). Height of the cable guard is displayed by a cable guard height indicator (9) positioned below the adjustment knob.

Rotate the adjustment knob to set the cable guard to the required height.

The cable guard incorporates a spring-loaded mechanism to prevent damage if the pedestal is pulled over an obstacle.

Transportation and storage

NOTE: Turning the pedestal too sharply at high speed will cause the wheels to slip and adversely affects pedestal positional feedback accuracy.

Pedestal navigation requires that all three wheels are parallel and that the one steering wheel is not misaligned by 180°—in the event of such steering misalignment the PDA software will prompt the operator to rotate the steering wheel by 180°.

WARNING!

1. Do NOT lift the pedestal by the steering ring, it may fail. Use the lifting apertures (13).

2. Do NOT lift unassisted. The Quattro-SE pedestal has a mass of 144 kg (317 lb). Take care when lifting the pedestal.

3. Local, national or international regulations may apply to the transport and storage of pressurized pedestals.

4. Do NOT leave the pedestal unattended on a sloping surface, to prevent it rolling away.

NOTE: It is not necessary to reduce the pedestal pressure prior to transportation or storage.

To prepare the pedestal for transportation and storage, proceed as follows:

Fully depress the moving column (16). Push down on the weight tray (1) and push the safety catch rocker switches (2) to the locked position.

Using the Schrader valve cap (5), reduce pedestal pressure to 3.5 bar (50 psi).

Remove camera, prompter and any other ancillaries.

Push down on the weight tray (2). At the safety catches (3), push the rocker switches to the unlocked position. Allow the column to extend under hand restraint.

Apply the on-shot clamp (6).

Undo the four mounting bolts (23) and remove the pan and tilt head.

Place any trim weights (21), (22) in the trim weight stowage (7).

To avoid the possibility of dust or abrasive particles collecting on moving components, release the on-shot clamp (20) and set the moving column (16) to minimum height. Push down on the weight tray (1) and push the safety catch rocker switches (2) to the locked position.

WARNING!

A pressure retaining valve prevents pedestal pressure being reduced below approximately 3.5 bar (50 psi), to prevent damage to the pedestal.

WARNING!

1. Do NOT lean over the pedestal when releasing the safety catches. An over pressurized pedestal may rise rapidly when the safety catches are released, causing personal injury.

2. Always restrain the column by hand pressure on the weight tray when the safety catches are released.

WARNING!

This pedestal must be transported and stored in an upright position with the column collapsed and the safety catches (2) locked, to ensure stability.

Maintenance

General

The Quattro-SE pedestal is robustly made to high engineering standards and little attention is required to maintain serviceability save regular cleaning. Attention to the following points will ensure a long and useful service life with minimum need for repair.

Routine maintenance

The Quattro-SE pedestal requires no routine maintenance other than regular cleaning.

During normal use, check the steering alignment, the effectiveness of the on-shot clamp and safety catches and check for radial or side play in the moving column. The navigation data should also be checked, ensuring that the pedestal remains calibrated to the floor target.

Once a year, check the relief valve activates between 14.48–14.82 bar (210–215 psi) by collapsing the column, engaging the safety catches and observing the pressure gauge while pressurising the pedestal until the relief valve activates.

Refer to the appropriate section in the Technical Manual if the steering is misaligned, the on-shot clamp is ineffective, excessive radial or side play is apparent in the moving column, the pressure relief valve setting is incorrect or any other defect is apparent.

Adjustments and repairs should be carried out only by a competent person.

Cleaning

During normal studio use, the only cleaning required should be a regular wipe over with a lint-free cloth. Dirt accumulated during storage or periods of disuse may be removed with a semi-stiff brush. Particular attention should be paid to the opto sensors (Figure 5) column bearing strips (15) and to the wheels, which are accessible for cleaning through the lifting apertures (13).

WARNING!

Do NOT operate the steering while reaching inside the base to clean wheels, you may be injured.

The two opto sensors (27) are located on the underside of the pedestal base (Figure 5), next to the two wheels beneath the trim weight stowage slots (7). To clean the opto sensors (27) there is no need to upturn the pedestal base, proceed as follows:

1. Disconnect power from the base (25).

2. Fully depress the column, engage the safety catches and remove the camera and accessories from the pan and tilt head.

3. Ensure pedestal pressure does not exceed 3.5 bar (50 psi). Reduce as necessary, using the Schrader valve cap (5).

4. Push down on the weight tray (1) against residual pressure and unlock the safety catches (2). Allow the column to extend under hand restraint.

5. Apply the on-shot clamp (20).

CAUTION! 1. Do NOT use oil or grease on any exposed part of the column. This is unnecessary and traps dirt which acts as an abrasive.

2. Use only detergent-based cleaners. Do NOT use solvent- or oil-based cleaners, abrasives or wire brushes to remove accumulations of dirt, as these damage the protective surfaces.

6. Remove the pan and tilt head from the weight tray (1).

7. Release the on-shot clamp (20), fully depress the column and engage the safety catches (2).

8. With assistance, carefully turn the pedestal over onto the weight tray (1) by lifting at one corner of the base using the lifting apertures (13).

9. Clean the two opto sensors (27) using a lint-free cloth.

10. With assistance, carefully set the pedestal back onto its wheels by lifting at one corner of the base using the lifting apertures (13).

Changing the steering ring

The Quattro-SE may be supplied with a steering ring with either a moulded steering indicator on the top or rivets on the underside of the steering ring.

To change the steering ring:

1. Fully extend the column and apply the on-shot clamp (20).

2. On the underside of the steering hub (Figure 6), remove four nyloc nuts (3.1) to release the steering ring (3). Note the position of the steering indicators (19) and remove the steering ring.

3. Position the replacement steering ring on the steering hub with the steering indicator in the position noted above.

WARNING!

1. Do NOT stare into beam from the opto sensors. Laser radiation, Class 2 laser product.

2. Disconnect power from the base (25) before working on the underside of the pedestal.

CAUTION! Take care not to trap the ethernet, power and genlock cables where they pass through the weight tray, when turning the pedestal onto the weight tray.

NOTE: If a steering ring with a moulded steering indicator is changed for one with rivets, or vice versa, it will be necessary to realign the steering mechanism. This should be carried out by competent personnel in accordance with the procedures laid down in the Technical Manual.
