Safety and About this User Guide
Maintenance
!WARNING! The tting of non-approved parts or accessories,
or the carrying out of non-approved alterations or servicing
can be dangerous and could aect the safety of the product.
It may also invalidate the terms and conditions of the product
warranty.
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 robotic equipment is 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 equipment, including all installed payload items (lens,
zoom and focus controls, viewnder, prompter, etc.) to prevent
inadvertent collisions or injury to personnel.
If personnel are too close to robotic equipment 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 veries visually that the
active area is clear of hazards and personnel, both before and during
remote operation.
This user guide covers the installation and basic operation of the
hardware components of the HD-VRC robotic control system.
For information on the conguration and operation of the VRC
application software, refer to the VRC System User Guide, part no.
