Figure 8: Movement space around the GSM 5000 Figure 9 shows the two important centers of rotation for the GSM 5000. It is desirable to move the center of gravity of the payload to the pivot of the PaVIR (Passive Vibration Isolation Ring). That ensures that the PaVIR works properly and that the vibrations from the aircraft are sufficiently damped. - Page 16 Figure 9: GSM 5000 center of rotation in operational level The following images illustrate the lowest and highest possible positions of the GSM 5000. The device can be lowered to the bottom position using the Touch Encoder or the SOMAG Mount Control App. This position is intended for shipping and storing the device.
- Page 17 Mount can lower itself down to working height. This takes time depending on the weight of the payload. With the Optional Installation, the GSM 5000 can be lifted from one side in order to access the payload from below as shown in Figure 12.
- Page 18 Figure 13 illustrates the main dimensions of the device and the payload mounting holes. Five M8 / 12 mm deep threaded holes are provided for payload installation purposes. Figure 13: GSM 5000 payload mounting holes and main dimensions at operational level 500101-901-08/01...

4.2 Electrical Installation 4.2.1 General Advice • DO NOT excessively bend the cables of the GSM 5000! Allow a minimum bending radius of 40 mm for all cables. • Provide strain relief for all connectors to prevent the cables, plugs or sockets from breaking when moved or bent. -

5.3.2 Automatic Operation (STAB Mode) Before switching to ‘STAB’ mode, the Yaw axis angle needs to be set for each line by using the SOMAG Mount Control App / Touch Encoder. When the aircraft changes its desired heading, it must be readjusted because the device needs a pre-set desired heading value to actively stabilize around it. -
Page 24: Operation With A Remote Computer
The GSM 5000 can also be controlled by a remote computer using the ‘INTERFACE’ port. No specific setup on the Mount control panel is necessary to take over control of the GSM 5000. A detailed description of the inter- face protocol can be handed out on demand. -

6.2 Cleaning the Mount Try to keep the GSM 5000 clean and free from dust, dirt and other environmental influences. The device is not designed for usage outside the airplane or any other vehicle. If necessary, clean the surfaces of the Mount with a damp cloth. - Page 26 Packing dimensions (L x W x H): 800 x 700 x 265 mm Figure 18: Shipping labels and transportation case 500101-901-08/01 GSM 5000 26 / 27...
