MODELS V3030APT AND V3030APT-SB PAN-AND-TILT DRIVES
INTRODUCTION
The information in this manual covers the in-
stallation, operation, and maintenance of
Models V3030APT and V3030APT-SB Pan-and-
Tilt Drives.
This equipment must be installed in con-
formance with national, state, and local
electrical codes.
The V3030APT and V3030APT-SB Pan-and-Tilt
Drives are light-duty indoor units designed
specifically for use with CCD cameras. Both
offer autopan operation and have user-
adjustable pan limit-stops. All wiring to the
camera and lens is concealed to eliminate wire
fatigue caused by autopan operation and
provides an uncluttered appearance. A built-
in connector is supplied for use with motorized
lenses. Both units are capable of handling
loads up to 7.5 pounds (3.4 kg) and are
constructed almost entirely of high-strength
plastic.
The V3030APT is designed with a IO-inch
(25 cm) integral wall mount styled to com-
plement the pan-and-tilt. The V3030APT-SB
is equipped with a square mounting base for
installations not requiring the use of an
integral wall mount or where inverted in-
stallation is needed.

CAMERA/LENS MOUNTING
1. Mount the lens onto the camera according
to instructions in the appropriate manual.
2. Remove the camera mounting bracket from
the tilt arm by loosening the captive
screw on the bottom of the tilt arm and
lifting the bracket. It may be necessary
to raise the tilt arm for better access to
the captive screw. Refer to Figure 2.
3. Locate the center of gravity of the
camera/lens combination by placing it on a
pencil and positioning it so that the unit
balances on the pencil. This point is the
center of gravity. Use the camera
mounting hole closest to this balance
point.
4. Mount the camera/lens unit to the camera
mounting bracket with the l/4-20 bolt
supplied. Make sure that the rear of the
camera is positioned away from the tilt
arm pivot and that the center of balance
is as near as practical to the tilt arm
pivot.
NOTE: When the square-base version is being
A mounted in an inverted position, the
camera must be mounted facing the opposite
end of the tilt arm. In this case, the
video and power cables should be routed
out the side of the tilt arm through the
holes provided near the pivot. Refer to
CAMERA MOUNTING
BRACKET \
ROUTING FOR
VIDEO & CAMERA
Figure 2. Also, tilt-up/tilt-down, and
pan-left/pan-right control connections
must be reversed on the PCB.
5. Position the camera mounting bracket on
the tilt arm and tighten the captive screw.
WIRING THE CAMERA/LENS
1. Attach the BNC connector from the pan-and-
tilt to the BNC connector on the camera.
2. Connect the power cable from the pan-and-
tilt to the camera. This could require
wiring directly to the camera power
terminals or installing the appropriate
camera power connector supplied with the
camera.
Connections for a motorized lens are made
through the connector at the pivot end of the
tilt arm (Figure 2). The connector is designed
to allow wiring without stripping the cable.
3. Cut the cable from the motorized lens to
the appropriate length and remove the
outer jacket. It is not necessary to strip
the insulation from the individual wires.
4. Lay the connector on a hard surface with
the open side facing up, as shown in
Figure 3. (The open side of the connector
will face down when the connector is
inserted into the mating connector on the
tilt base.)
