 Initial operation

   

 

Set-up and assembly 

 

The compact flash units are equipped as standard with a tilting head. For set-up on 
tripods,  pantographs  or  ceiling  systems,  the  tilt  is  screwed  securely  onto  the 
appropriate tripod mount using the locking thumbscrew on the side of the panner. 
If the unit is suspended from a pantograph or ceiling rail during operation, a second 
secure connection is required in accordance with the applicable safety regulations. It 
is  recommended  to  insert  a  steel  cable  suitable  for  this  purpose  (not  included)  
through  the  opening  of  the  handle  and  to  secure  it  to  a  suitable  lug  on  the 
suspension unit.
