3 INSTALLATION & INITIAL SETUP
This section describes the basic installation and setup steps required to get your pan-tilt
operational as quickly as possible.

3.1 Pan-Tilt Mounting

Appendix 1 shows the mounting pattern for the PTU-D300. The basic mounting pattern is
four #1/4-20 socket-head cap screws in a 3.375" (85.725mm) square pattern. All four mounting
screws should be used. The mount strength must be able to hold the weight of the unit plus the
payload plus any additional forces exerted on the system (e.g., wind, G forces). A good rule of
thumb: the mount must support at least four times the combined weight of the payload plus the
weight of the pan-tilt (e.g., a 25 lb. payload mounted to the D300 must support at least 205 lbs).
CAUTION: FAILURE TO SECURE THE PAN-TILT AND ITS PAYLOAD
TO A SUFFICIENTLY STRONG MOUNTING CAN RESULT IN
DAMAGE TO THE PAN-TILT, THE PAYLOAD, OR POSSIBLE INJURY
OR DEATH. YOU MUST ENSURE THE MOUNTING IS CAPABLE OF
HOLDING THE LOADS!

3.2 Wiring and Connectors

Figure 2 shows a back view of the D300. The D300 base connector is a MIL-C-26482
compatible receptacle (19 pins). Appendix A.3 shows the D300 base connector signals and
wiring. Basic control requires that you connect a DC power source to the D300-power input, and
a host computer connection (to HOST-232 or HOST-485) to communicate and control the D300.
