  • Page 64 Allegheny Instruments, Inc. www.AlleghenyInstruments.com Introduction The GeoVISION Pan-Tilt Control is designed to rotate and tilt Standard Stainless Steel and Standard Plastic cameras inside a borehole. Using a Pan-Tilt Control, these cameras can be rotated 360-degrees and can tilt from looking straight down, to looking back up the bore. Camera manipulation is controlled using the joystick on a Deluxe Winch Control Panel.
  • Page 65 Allegheny Instruments, Inc. www.AlleghenyInstruments.com 14. Tighten the clamp on the Pan-Tilt Control firmly around the cable. Loosely tighten the halves of the Centralizer clamp around the cable. Be sure the winch cable can slide through the clamp. 15. Slide the Centralizer clamp down the cable towards the Pan-Tilt Control to flare the Centralizer Straps. The straps should be narrower than the smallest section of the bore you are going into.
  • Page 66 Allegheny Instruments, Inc. www.AlleghenyInstruments.com Removing the camera from a Pan-Tilt Control Attaching a camera to the Pan-Tilt Control is quite simple provided the camera was properly removed. To properly remove a camera from a Pan-Tilt Control, use the following procedure.
  • Page 67 Allegheny Instruments, Inc. www.AlleghenyInstruments.com 20. Remove screw #13. For a Standard Plastic Camera you will need to use the aluminum wrench as in step #4, for a Standard Stainless Steel Camera, there is no nut, so you will not need the wrench.
  • Page 68 Allegheny Instruments, Inc. www.AlleghenyInstruments.com 22. Reinstall screw #9 and its nut on the upper strap. If you are removing a Standard Stainless Steel Camera, pass screw #13 through the lower strap and then through the pulley and screw a #8-32 nut onto it, don’t forget to place screw #14 in the pulley first, you will find an #8-32 nut in the spare parts that came with your system.
  • Page 69 Allegheny Instruments, Inc. www.AlleghenyInstruments.com Reinstalling the camera on a Pan-Tilt Control This section covers reattaching a camera that was removed using the above process. If your camera was not removed using the above procedure, skip ahead to the next section.
  • Page 70 Allegheny Instruments, Inc. www.AlleghenyInstruments.com For a Standard Plastic Camera, install screw #12 through the lower strap, a #8 nut and into the camera. Note that the camera’s Accessory Attachment screw is facing out and the Tilt Pulley is on the bottom. Tighten the screw so that the camera can rotate freely and yet the screw head is close to the camera body, then using the flat aluminum wrench that came with the system, tighten nut #8 to pinch the pulley against the camera body.
  • Page 71 Allegheny Instruments, Inc. www.AlleghenyInstruments.com 4. If necessary, loosen the screw that clamps the ends of the tilt cord (#5) and adjust the tension of the cord so that the camera has approximately 1/4” of free play. When done correctly, the cord will be loose enough to allow the front of the camera to rotate approximately 1/4”...
  • Page 72 Allegheny Instruments, Inc. www.AlleghenyInstruments.com Reassembly of a Pan-Tilt Control This section covers setting up a Pan-Tilt Control that has been completely stripped. While this is usually not the case, steps 4 through 9 are critical and need to be performed each time a camera is attached.
  • Page 73 Allegheny Instruments, Inc. www.AlleghenyInstruments.com 4. Set the Camera Select Switch on the winch to the “Pan-Tilt with Camera” position as shown. 5. Align the holes in the yellow Curled Cord with the pins in the camera and screw the two together. Do not attach the camera to the Pan-Tilt Control at this time.
  • Page 74 Allegheny Instruments, Inc. www.AlleghenyInstruments.com 10. Slide the Tilt Shaft Pulley #21 over the Tilt Shaft with the Tilt Cord Clamping Screw #11 facing away from you. 11. Position the Tilt Shaft Pulley so that there is a small, but visible gap between the pulley and the Turntable.
  • Page 75 Allegheny Instruments, Inc. www.AlleghenyInstruments.com 14. Clamp the Tilt Cord to the Camera Tilt Pulley as shown below, the measurements are approximates and will be fine tuned later.. A Standard Stainless Steel Camera uses a #2-56 x 5/16” screw and a Tilt Cord Clamp, it will look like this.
  • Page 76 Allegheny Instruments, Inc. www.AlleghenyInstruments.com 16. Place the camera between the Camera Mounting Straps #20. Align the holes in the yellow curled cord with the pins on the camera and using fingers only, tighten the yellow curled cord to the camera. Attach the camera and the Camera Tilt Pulley to the Pan-Tilt Control.
  • Page 77 Allegheny Instruments, Inc. www.AlleghenyInstruments.com 17. Place nut #9 between the camera and the upper strap and install screw #8 through the strap and the nut and into the camera. Tighten the screw so that the camera can rotate freely and yet the screw head is close to the camera body, then using the flat aluminum wrench that came with the system, tighten nut #8 against the camera body.
  • Page 78 Allegheny Instruments, Inc. www.AlleghenyInstruments.com 19. Turn the entire assembly over, loosen the Cord Clamping Screw #11 and cross the two ends of the cord under the screw. 20. Lift the ends of the cord toward the camera. This will wrap each end around the screw. Pull the ends so that they are even and then tighten the clamping screw to hold them in place.
