There are two EPL ports on the Pedestal control panel. One port is used to connect the Pedestal to the Control 
Panel via an EPL Node and the other port can be used to provide the EPL data communications to the Head. 
Although the Head and EPL Node can be connected to either of the ports, it is recommended that the Head is 
connected to the upper port, with the EPL Node connected to the lower port, to prevent the Head 
Communication cable from being dislodged by the Studio Floor cable as the pedestal moves around the studio.

The power and EPL connections from the Fusion Pedestal (FP-145/FP-188) to the Head are shown in 

Figure 4

.

Connecting the Head to a Fusion Height Drive 

When the Head is mounted onto a manual only pedestal, a Fusion Height Drive (FBH-175) can be installed to 
remotely operate the height of the pedestal from a Vinten Radamec Control Panel. 

The Height Drive has two power output sockets and a single power inlet socket that is connected to the studio 
supply. The 

Head Power Output 

socket is used to supply power to the Head. Note that the 

Head Power 

Output

 socket is controlled by the Height Drive and therefore it is switched, fused and isolated on activation of 

the emergency stop button on the Height Drive. Each power connector on the Height Drive is fitted with a 
connector retaining clip to prevent the cable becoming dislodged causing accidental loss of power. Always 
ensure that the retaining clip is fastened. 

EPL connection to the Head is supplied by the 

EPL Out 

port on the Height Drive. The

 EPL In

 port connects to 

the Vinten Radamec Control Panel via the EPL Node. The Height Drive is supplied with a Head Communication 
cable that can be used to connect the Height Drive to the Head. 

The power and EPL connections from the Fusion Height Drive to the Head are shown in 

Figure 5
