5-12-1 General Description, Top Console on Vivid 7
NOTE: Vivid 7 PRO is described in section 5-12-4 on page 5-145 .
The Top Console includes Monitor, Monitor Shelf, Speakers and Operator Panel.
The Console’s movement backwards and forwards and to the sides is made possible by the Frogleg
unit that links the Top Console to the rest of the System in a flexible multi movement joint. The handle
(XY-release Handle) that unlocks the Frogleg, is located in the center lower side of the Front Handle.
The Top Console can also be moved up and down. The handle (Z-release Handle) is located in the left
grip of the Front Handle. A gas spring inside the system assists in the Z movement. It is actuated by
pulling the Z-release Handle and at the same time lifting up or pushing down the Console with some
pressure to assist up/down motion.
A flexible harness of electrical and mechanical wires secures the connection between the Top Console
and rest of the System.
