Part 1- Overview
This document provides the basic information required to install the ZEB Horizon laser
scanning system onto a DJI Matrice 600 series UAV using GeoSLAM’s quick release UAV
Mount.
For detailed information on the ZEB Horizon scanner refer to the ZEB Horizon User Guide.
List of Parts:
•Anti-vibration plate (upper).
•ZEB Horizon plate (lower).
•0.85m Main cable.
•8 x M4-12 screws.
•4 x M3-12 screws.
•2.5mm Allen key.
Part 2- Installation
•Detach the DJI Expansion Mounting Kit rails from the bottom of the UAV but leave the
four posts which connect to the body of the UAV in place. To do this, firstly loosen the
four M3 screws which hold the two short end rails in place and slide the rails off the
two long, cylindrical, carbon fibre main rails.
Figure 1 –Remove the end rails.

Version 1.0 Page 7
•Loosen the four clamps which hold the two main rails in place and slide them out.
Figure 2 –Loosen the rail clamps.
•Remove the clamps themselves from the four posts. Access the screw head via the
hole in the bottom of the clamp.
Figure 3 –Remove the rail clamps.

•On the central post of the UAV Mount, open the locking lever (D in Figure 4) and push
in the sprung catch (E in Figure 3) to separate the upper (anti-vibration plate) and lower
(ZEB Horizon plate) sections.
Figure 4 –Upper and lower mount sections.
•Using the four M3-12 screws provided attach the upper anti-vibration plate to the four
posts of the DJI Expansion Mounting Kit.

•Using the eight M4 screws provided, attach the ZEB Horizon scanning head and data
logger to the lower plate of the UAV Mount. Mount points are on the back of each
unit and are shown in red in Figure 6 below:
Figure 6 –ZEB Horizon lower plate mounting points x 8.
•Cable the system as instructed in the ZEB Horizon User Guide using the 0.85m short
main cable provided to connect the scanner head to the data logger.
•Attached the PAG battery to the data logger as instructed in the ZEB Horizon User
Guide.
•Lift the lower section of the mount which now holds the scanning system into place.
Slide the round, quick release clamp post into the top section. The sprung catch (E in
Figure 4) should engage with a ‘click’.
Take care not to release the lower part of the mount until you are sure the catch is engaged
and the system cannot fall.
