clear of robotic equipment in use.
Operators must familiarise themselves with the
resulting working envelope of robotic products
including all ancillary equipment (lens, zoom

to prevent inadvertent collisions.
Only operate robotic products remotely when
you can see them to avoid harm to personnel
and collisions with obstacles and other hazards
.
8. Power sources
Only connect the equipment to a power supply
of the type described in the Technical
Specifications or as marked on the equipment.

Introduction
The Quattro-SE pedestal comprises a central four-stage telescopic column mounted in a steerable
base.
The moving column (16) is pressurized from an external pressure source. A markable height indicator
scale (17) is provided on the second section of the column allowing the operator to record camera
heights for shots. A weight tray (1) is attached to the top of the column and trim weights (21), (22)
are provided for fine balance. The weight tray also provides a standard four-bolt mounting (23) for a
pan and tilt head and the pedestal is steered by means of a steering ring (3) mounted on its underside.
A Large diameter steering ring is provided as standard and is fitted with indicators (19) to show the
straight-ahead position.
The column is locked in the fully-depressed position by two safety catches (2) on the weight tray
which engage with spigots at the base of the column. Drag control (4) is provided at the base of the
column and an on-shot clamp (20) is provided as a secondary ring below the steering ring.
The base is carried on three sets of twin 125 mm (5 in.) wheels. A continuous height-adjustable cable
guard with infinite positions is provided, raised and lowered by a single control knob (8) with a height
indicator (9) below. Stowage for the trim weights is provided on the upper surface of both the
pedestal base (7) and cable management system (18). Two cable clamps (12) are fitted to the vertical
sides of the pedestal base. A crab/steer pedal (14) allows the operator to switch between conventional
and crab steering. Position indicators (11) on each side and one corner of the base allow the camera
operator to accurately position the pedestal. Lifting apertures (13) are provided on each face of the
base and these also provide access to the wheels. Opto sensor indicators (10) show the position of the
sensors to aid targeting.
Connections for pedestal power (25), electronic positional feedback (24) and Genlock (26) are
provided via the cable management system (18).

Operation
Unpacking
Unpack the pedestal, ensuring that all transport packing and retaining fixings are removed.
Column check
Ensure pedestal pressure is approximately 3.5 bar (50 psi). Increase or reduce as necessary, using the
Schrader valve (5).
Remove the self-adhesive safety catch warning covers (if fitted).
Push down on the weight tray (1) against residual pressure. At the safety catches (2), push the rocker
switches to the unlocked position. Allow the column to extend under hand restraint.
Exercise the column several times over its full stroke.
Push down on the weight tray (1) and push the safety catch rocker switches (2) to the locked position.
WARNING!
1. Do NOT lift the pedestal by the steering ring, it may fail. Use
the lifting apertures (13).
2. Do NOT lift unassisted. The Quattro-SE pedestal has a mass
of 144 kg (317 lb). Take care when lifting the pedestal.
3. Do NOT release the safety catches (2) at this stage, the
pedestal may become unstable.
4. Do NOT leave the pedestal unattended on a sloping surface, to
prevent it rolling away.
WARNING!
A pressure retaining valve prevents pedestal pressure being reduced
below approximately 3.5 bar (50 psi), indicated by the yellow segment
on the pressure gauge (6).
CAUTION! Do NOT attempt to extend the column if the pressure (6) has
dropped below 3.5 bar (50 psi), or the pedestal may be damaged.

Steering mechanism checks
Steering indicators fitted to the steering ring comprises two groups of rivets on the underside of the
steering (19) as shown in (Figure 6) on page 29.
Align a steering indicator (19) with the crab/steer pedal (14). Press the pedal to select CRAB Turn
the steering ring and check that all three wheels turn together and all point in the same direction.
Align a steering indicator (19) with the crab/steer pedal (14) and press the pedal to select STEER.
Turn the steering ring and check that two of the wheels lock in the straight-ahead position and that
the third wheel (below the crab/steer pedal) can be turned by the steering ring.
Fitting the load
The Quattro pedestal has the standard four-bolt mounting plate (23) which permits the use of various
Vinten camera mounts including pan and tilt heads, Quickfix and Mitchell adapters. To fit a pan and
tilt head or an adaptor it is necessary to extend the moving column.
Fit the pan and tilt head or adaptor as follows:
1. Ensure pedestal pressure does not exceed 3.5 bar (50 psi). Reduce as necessary, using
the Schrader valve cap (5)..
2. Push down on the weight tray (1) against residual pressure. At the safety catches (2),
push the rocker switches to the unlocked position. Allow the column to extend under
hand restraint.
3. Apply the on-shot clamp (20).
WARNING!
1. Do NOT lean over the pedestal when releasing the safety
catches. An over pressurized pedestal may rise rapidly when
the safety catches are released, causing personal injury.
2. Always restrain the column by hand pressure on the weight
tray when the safety catches are released.
WARNING!
A pressure retaining valve prevents pedestal pressure being reduced
below approximately 3.5 bar (50 psi), indicated by the yellow segment
on the pressure gauge (6).
CAUTION! Do NOT attempt to extend the column if the pressure (6) has
dropped below 3.5 bar (50 psi), or the pedestal may be damaged.
17
4. Fit the pan and tilt head or adaptor and secure with the appropriate bolts.
5. Release the on-shot clamp (20) and lower the moving column under hand restraint. Push
down on the weight tray (1) and push the safety catch rocker switches to the locked
position.
6. With the pedestal locked in the fully depressed position, fit the camera and accessories
to the pan and tilt head, ensuring that all items such as pan bars, prompters, lenses etc,
are fitted. Attaching these items at a later stage may upset the pedestal balance.
7. Install one main (22) and two auxiliary trim weights (21) on the weight tray (1).
Pressurizing the pedestal
The Quattro may be pressurized from an external pressure source or by using the Vinten portable
pump (Part No. 3357-3). Trim weights (22, 23) are provided for fine balance.
Ascertain the payload to be fitted to the pedestal (payload = pan and tilt head, camera, lens and all
ancillary equipment). Referring to the graph (Figure 2) on page 18, mark the payload on the
horizontal axis then strike a vertical line from the load figure to the balance line. At the intersecting
point strike a horizontal line to the vertical axis and read off the required pressure.
The pedestal should be pressurized with the column collapsed but unlocked and free to extend.
WARNING!
1. Secure auxiliary equipment to the pedestal according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Only fit suitable equipment to the four-bolt fixing.
WARNING!
Lock the pedestal in the fully depressed position before installing the
camera, to provide a stable mounting surface.
NOTE: The pedestal internal pressure is greatest when the column is fully
collapsed.

WARNING!
1. This pedestal must be pressurized only with clean, dry air or
nitrogen, or the pedestal may be damaged.
2. A pressure reducing valve must be fitted to the pressure line
between the gas cylinder and the outlet connection of the
hose. The reducing valve must be screwed into the gas
cylinder outlet. The maximum pressure on the outlet side of
the reducing valve must not exceed 13.1 bar (190 psi).
3. Do not pressurize the pedestal beyond the maximum safe
working pressure indicated by the leading edge of the red
sector on the gauge, to prevent pedestal damage or personal
injury.
4. The pedestal is fitted with a pressure relief valve as a
safeguard against over-pressurization. Do not attempt to
adjust the pressure relief valve.
