IMPORTANT! READ THIS DOCUMENT BEFORE MOUNTING CAMERA.
Proper balance of the camera mount (with camera/lens/cradle) will result in optimal
performance. Follow these balancing instructions prior to operation. Failure to
balance the camera mount can result in poor performance.
The PosiTrack units enable pan and tilt functionality for mounted camera/lens assemblies and
provides lens control functions for teleconferencing lenses. Digital encoders are installed on both
the pan and tilt drives, allowing positional feedback for presets, and to provide accurate speed
control. Software adjustable stop limits are used on the pan and tilt drives to limit the range of
motion.
Do not mount a PosiTrack unit in any location where the motion of the camera/lens is
obstructed by any object.
Mounting the PT10, PT15, and PT30
Mount the PosiTrack units to a flat horizontal surface, either upright or inverted.
1. Select a surface that can support the combined weight of the PT10/ PT15/PT30, the
camera/lens, and control cables. Some support surfaces include the WM-CAM,
PM-CAM, and TM-CAM mounts available for use with these units.
2. Locate the external white position markers located on the pan and tilt axis. The position
markers must align with the pan and tilt axis in order to be considered in the home position.

3. Mount the PosiTrack unit to a flat surface by drilling four holes, according to the mounting-
plate dimensions shown in FIG. 12. Secure the unit to the surface using four 1/4" x 20 machine
bolts and lock washers. Ensure that the external white position marker, on the pan drive
hub, is inside the desired camera rotation range.
