2Setting up the RP1-2300 System
2.1 Unpacking the base
CAUTION, when removing or placing the baseboard from or to the base
It’s advised to perform the following instructions with two persons. Please
remove or insert the baseboard uniformly distributed and parallel to the
base to prevent jamming.
Figure 2 Unpacking the Base Board

2.2 Leveling the Base
Figure 3 Leveling the Base
To correctly level the RP1-Base you will have to use a spirit level [A]. The
base features four adjustable feet [B]. To level the base, loosen locking ring
[D] then use a spanner (metric 14mm) to adjust the height of the feet by
turning nut [C]. When the base is leveled make sure to retighten locking
ring [D].

PHASEONE RP1-2300 AUTOCOLUMN XL installation manual V1.0 5
2.3 Applying the column to the base
The column must be fixed to the base by using four M8x110 countersunk
bolts [A] (Hexagon socket Allen key 5mm) and four M8 nuts [C] (Metric
spanner 13mm). It is advised to set up the column with two persons. Place
the column on the base and insert bolts [A], place the washers and nuts on
the bolts from the bottom. Do not fully tighten the bolts and nuts before all
four are placed. When all four bolts are in place, tighten the bolts and nuts
firmly using the 5mm Allen key and 13mm spanner.
Figure 4 Mounting the column to the base

PHASEONE RP1-2300 AUTOCOLUMN XL installation manual V1.0 6
2.4 Leveling the column
Use a spirit level [detail D]l to check if the column is leveled. Make sure the
base is correctly leveled first. Please only perform this operation when
necessary. If the column is slightly off, the four set screws [D] near the bolts
[A] can be used to fine adjust the level of the column. To level the column
slightly loosen bolts [A] and screw the appropriate setscrew [D] using the
5mm Allen key. When the column is leveled, retighten bolts [A] firmly.
2.5 Applying the board to the base
It is advised to perform the baseboard placement with two persons.
2.5.1 Applying the baseboard with extenders
Before applying the extenders to the base, make sure all the setscrews [D]
and [E] are fully loosened. Place the four extenders [C] in the base couplers
[B]. Do not tighten the base coupler set screws yet! Insert the baseboard
pins in the extenders, make sure to let the baseboard pins sink in uniformly.
Now first tighten the extender locking set screws [4x]. Finally lock the
extenders to the base by tightening the base coupler set screws.
Figure 5 Applying the baseboard on extenders
After the baseboard is fixed you can apply the motor case [H] by using the
two supplied M3x4 cylinder head bolts [I] using a 2mm Allen key. Finally
the remote holder [F] (which is mounted to the baseboard inversely) can
be mounted to the baseboard by using locking knobs [G]

PHASEONE RP1-2300 AUTOCOLUMN XL installation manual V1.0 7
2.5.2 Applying the baseboard without extenders
Before applying the baseboard to the base, make sure locking screws [E]
inside base couplers [B] are fully loosened. Apply the baseboard to the
base by uniformly sinking the baseboard pins in the base couplers. Make
sure to retighten the locking set screws [E 4x] after the placement.
Figure 6 Applying the baseboard to the base
2.6 Wall mount installation
Besides mounting the column to the base it is optional to order brackets for
a wall mounted system. When installing the wall mounted system start by
applying the top bracket [A] to the wall. Make sure the distance between
the floor and the bottom mounting hole is at least 225CM. Fix the top
bracket to the wall first with a minimum of one screw on each side. Use a
sprit level during mounting to make sure the bracket is fixed to the wall
leveled.
Now fix the bottom bracket to the bottom of the column by using the two
bolts [D] and washers [C]. Place the bolts in the designated holes of the
bottom mounting block of the column. Fix the column to the wall mounted
to bracket. Level the brackets and column by using a spirit level and fix the
bottom bracket to the wall with at least one screw on each side.
For fine tuning the position of the column both the top and bottom bracket
contain a set screw [E]. Before using the set screws, slightly loosen bolts
[D] then tighten or loosen set screws [E]. when the column is leveled,
retighten bolts [D].

2.7 Installing the cross arm
2.7.1 Applying the quick release
Figure 8 Mounting the quick release clamp
Fix the quick release to the cross arm with the locking knob facing up. Push
the QR pins in the designated holes of the leveling plate and secure it in
position by using the supplied “3/8 bolt and “5/16 Allen key.
2.7.2 Leveling the quick release
When the QR-clamp is fixed it can be leveled in the horizontal en vertical
plane separately. To level the QR in the horizontal plane use a 2,5mm Allen
key to set screws [A1] and [A2] (See figure 9). To adjust the QR clockwise,
fully loosen setscrew [A1] and tighten [A2] until the QR is leveled
horizontally. Retighten [A1]. Do not over-tighten! To adjust the QR
counterclockwise fully loosen [A2] and tighten [A1], retighten [A2] when
leveled.
To level the vertical plane tighten or loosen bolts [B2] and [B3] to tilt or
swing the leveling plate, using a 5mm Allen key.
Note that tightening or loosening screw [B1] is only necessary in the
exceptional circumstance that the adjustment of screw [B2] and [B3] is
not sufficient.

3.1 Safety warnings before use
The motorized column features two height adjustable end-stops.
When the cross-arm passes one of these end-stops the drive
immediately stops. When positioned correctly these end-stops
prevent collisions between the cross-arm or camera and the
baseboard, floor, ceiling or object on the baseboard.
Before use make sure the cross-arm is positioned between the end-
stops.
Before use make sure the end-stops are positioned at the correct
height.
oPlace the top end stop at a height that the cross-arm or
mounted camera will not be able to hit the ceiling or any
objects hanging from the ceiling before reaching the end-stop
first.
oPlace the bottom end-stop well above the floor, baseboard, or
objects on the floor or baseboard. So the cross-arm will reach
the end-stop before the mounted camera will collide with any
objects below.
Ensure the cables are guided properly at the back of the column.
Never disconnect the remote from the cable supply during use. This
may cause damages to the electronic components!
Never disconnect the motor unit from the power supply during use.
This may cause damages to the electronics.
The maximum weight that can be applied to the cross-arm at
maximum extend is 5KG.

Because of the weight of the camera, the downward speed will be
higher than the upward speed. This speed difference can be
controlled on the rear of the remote control. By using a small screw
driver you can control the weight compensation potentiometer
through hole [H].
