Connecting the Camera to the Pan Tilt Unit

The camera can be connected to the Pan Tilt unit at any stage. In most cases it is recommended that the
brackets are mounted first then the pan tilt unit connected to the brackets and finally the camera
connected to the pan tilt unit, but the situation may require a different order of operation. To mount the
camera to the pan tilt unit remove the camera tube and the Camera Tube Mount hardware bag from the
kit. Place a lock washer and then flat washer on a screw as shown in the figure below.

Figure 10: Camera Tube Mounting Hardware

Align the camera tube to the mounting bracket on the side of the pan tilt unit as shown in the figure
below. Take the screw, lock-washer, and flat washer assembly, and then insert it into the threaded hole
on the side of the pan tilt mounting block as shown in the figure below.

Figure 11: Attaching Camera Tube to Pan Tilt Unit

Connect the Camera Tube cable to the Pan Tilt unit as shown in Figure 12. Align the notch on the cable's
knurled metal ring with the black line on the green rubber strain relief. Align these with the notch on the
Pan Tilt unit's connector. Gently but firmly push the cable connector into Pan Tilt unit connector. It
should slide in with moderate resistance. Tighten the metal ring until the connector clicks in place. When
fully tightened, the notch on the cable's knurled metal ring should be 180 degrees from the notch in the
Pan Tilt unit connector. Repeat the same process for the Camera Tube.
NOTE: IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE CAMERA TUBE CABLE IS FULLY TIGHTENED TO
PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE CABLE CONNECTORS.
