Page 16: Dimensions Of Fastening Holes / Footprint
Position the device straight over the installation holes. • Install the NSM 400 with four screws. A torque of 30 Nm is required to secure the device safely. 4.1.6 Main Dimensions / Mounting the Payload Figure 5 illustrates the main dimensions of the device, the payload mounting holes and the pivot. 8x M8 / 12 mm and 4x M10 / 15 mm deep threaded holes are provided for installation purposes. - Page 17 Figure 5: NSM 400 payload mounting holes, main dimensions, cog and pivot • It is always desired to move the center of gravity of the payload to the middle of the usable diameter. This ensures the best dynamic behavior and stabilization performance of the Mount and avoids an unnecessary increase in power consumption.

Page 22: Getting Started
The device runs the electronic test phase (ETP) to check proper functionality of all sensors and electronic components. When the MTP, RTP and ETP are completed, the NSM 400 turns into its preset default mode (can be set up with the SOMAG Mount Control App / see chapter 5.1). -
Page 23: Manual Operation (Man Mode)
Check that the ‘MAN’ Mode is selected (‘MAN’ Mode button shines yellow) in the SOMAG Mount Control App (see chapter 5.1) and use the sliders to move roll and pitch (yaw axis is not enabled on the NSM 400). Under certain movement conditions (strong turbulence, harsh environmental conditions), for troubleshooting purposes or for checking the safety area of the payload it can be necessary to control the Mount manually with the SOMAG Mount Control App (see chapter 5.1). -
Page 24: Maintenance, Transport And Storage
The NSM 400 should be returned to the manufacturer for maintenance every two years. The requirement for service is also signaled in the SOMAG Mount Control App (see chapter 5.1). Should a malfunction of the Mount occur, please contact SOMAG AG Jena to solve the problem as quickly as possible. -
Page 25: Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting • It is strongly recommended to contact the manufacturer (SOMAG AG Jena) immediately if a problem occurs. Any repairs not authorized by the manufacturer will void the warranty. 7.1 Firmware Update If you need to change or update the firmware version, please contact your local support or the manufacturer, SOMAG AG Jena. -
Page 26: Powerless Top Surface Movement
Make sure to turn back the grey rotary knob to its start position (Figure 9/ Step 1) to enable automatic functionality of the Mount. • Ensure to refit the bronze cover to the Mount, as otherwise watertightness cannot be guaran- teed. 112304-901-08/03 NSM 400 26 / 26...
