CAUTION!
Watson Sensors are rugged devices that have been used successfully in a number of harsh
environments. The components have been qualified to withstand a mechanical shock of 200g 's or
greater, and most enclosures provide an added level of protection. However, dropping a sensor
from waist height onto a hard floor can cause a shock level of 600g's. At this level, damage is
likely to occur.
Introduction
This manual is intended to help in understanding the installation and operation requirements of the
Watson Stabilized Mount System. Details of the operation and adjustments are provided to allow
the owner to obtain optimum performance from this product.
Product Description
Watson Industries has many years of experience developing sensor packages for stabilized
platforms for camera and antenna applications. Now we have taken the next step and are offering a
complete system.
Our gyro-stabilized mount system is built around a rugged pan and tilt mechanism. This is a high-
resolution digital system that uses high quality, wide bandwidth, low noise, and solid-state gyros.
Watson's proprietary rate closure, zero error algorithms takes preset attitude angles from a micro
controller and drives a digital servo controller in the mount. The whole system is user configurable
to adapt to a wide range of payloads and requirements.
Watson Industries also provides custom systems for special requirements. Our system design is
modular and configurable for economical and quick adaptation to a wide variety of hardware
configurations. Of course Watson Industries' excellent product support and applications
engineering goes along with every product.
This particular model of the Watson product line is intended to hold an up to a 99 pound (45 Kg)
payload aligned to level and horizontal on a moving vessel/vehicle
