2.4.2.5 TELESCOPIC CABLE SYSTEM
Along the crane, there are cable holders to support the cables going
into the leveling head and the remote head. There are two kind of
supports: Fix and movable. The movables have rubber rings on them
to minimize the noise when the crane is fully collapsed.
Each of the cable supports has a karabiner (cable holder). This
allows to take off and put on the cable looms without tools and without
having to break up the cable looms each time.
To remove the sliding cable holders,
extend the crane until the end of the
rail is visible (fig.02.100), remove the
stopper and slide the support out. In
the chapter 6.2.11 it is explained how
to adjust these sliding cable holders.
Each section has a cable pusher to
prevent that any hanging cable gets
stuck in between the sections. And in
the fulcrum, there is a ring to pass
through it all the cables going out of
the crane.
2.4.2.6 POWER&COMM FOR REMOTE HEAD
Along the crane extensions there are two looms from the main arm to the end of the fourth section.
One connects the Leveling Head with the Electronic box and the other provides power for the remote
head from the power unit (P.U.).
The P.U. is a 30v 20Amp power supply. It has a 20Amp fuse in front
and a 7Amp fuse in the back part. It is powered from AC current
coming from the electronic box and has two 3pin XLR outputs for the
remote head.
Inside this loom it runs one cable for communication and a BNC line for the video signal. Both end in
the base of the crane and from there they can be extended to the control and the monitor for the
remote head operator.
