2. INSTALLATION
2.1 Mounting the Unit
The V39OAFT will operate safely with loads up to 80
pounds (36 kg) mounted upright and 75 pounds (34 kg)
when inverted. To perform properly, the unit must be
securely fastened to a suitable surface and the camera
or housing must be properly mounted and balanced on
the unit. Normal mounting position for the unit is with
its axis vertical, either upright or inverted.
CAUTION: Do nat attach these units to drywall
A
su$aces and do not install screws into the end
grain of wood.
The pan-and-tilt has been assembled at the factory for
upright mounting and should be mounted directly to a
surface capable of supporting the combined weight of
the pan-and-tilt and its accessories. The V39OAW
weighs 40 pounds (18 kg).
NOTE: If the unit is to be mounted in the inverted
position, prepare the unit according to the instruc-
tions in section 2.2, Inverted Mounting.
When mounting directly to a horizontal or ceiling sur-
face, use four fasteners. When mounting to wood, use
screws long enough to penetrate at least 2 112 inches (6.4
cm). If mounting to a steel structure, drill four holes
according to the mounting pattern shown in Figure 2.
Screws should be long enough to accommodate lock-
washers and nuts. In concrete, use lead anchors or
expansion bolts with at least 150-pound (69
kg)
pullout strength, installed according to manufacturer’s
instructions,
CAUTION: If installing the unit outdoors, use
A
stainless steel hardware.
2.2 Inverted Mounting
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire or electric
A
shock, always mount the pan-and-tilt in the up-
right position where rain or moisture is present.
2.
The pan-and-tilt has been assembled for upright mount-
ing. When it is necessary to mount the unit in the
inverted position, it should be prepared as follows:

4. Remove the two (2) counterbalance springs
(Legend 3), noting the position of the springs of the
grooved stop posts (Legend 5) for future reference.
5. Replace the end support (Legend 2), holding the
opposite tilt arm in position.
6. Replace the three (3) 10-32 screws (Legend 1).
When this unit is mounted in the inverted position, the
up-down and left-right directions are reversed for man-
ual operation. This must be corrected when wiring the
cable between the control unit and the pan-and-tilt.
Simply reverse the leads going to pins 2 and 3 and to
pins 5 and 6, respectively, at one end of the cable.
NOTE: For inverted mounting with the VPP-1
Option, reverse the leads going to pins 10 and 12.
(Refer to Figure 6, Wiring Diagram.)
If the unit is returned to upright mounting from an
inverted position, rewire the leads to their original loca-
tions and replace the counterbalance springs (Legend 3)
in the correct positions on the stop posts (Legend 5),
following the procedure outlined in steps l-6.

2.3 Mounting the Camera
Before mounting the camera to the pan-and-tilt drive,
note the label FRONT on the top mounting plate. The
camera should be mounted with the lens on this side.
Three center mounting h&s ( Figure 5, Legend 5) are
provided for mounting lighter cameras. To obtain opti-
mum balance, the screw used to mount the camera can
be placed in any one of the three positions on the camera
mounting plate.
When mounting heavier camera/lens loads, best opera-
tion is obtained when the load is evenly balanced. With
the camera and lens resting on a flat surface, place a
pencil under the camera and move the camera until it
balances on the pencil. The position of the pencil under
the camera indicates the point which should be posi-
tioned at the center of the pan-and-tilt mounting plate.
The outboard mounting holes (Legend 6) can be used to
mount heavier cameras or enclosures.
CAUTION: Do not mount an autoiris lens on a
A
autopan unit. Such use will cause excessive wear
on the iris mechanism, as it constantly compen-
sates for di&ferent light levels. For lens control
connection instructions, refer to the manual that
accompanies the lens control unit being used.

3. OPERATION
When the unit is wired to an appropriate control unit,
movements along two axes are possible. “Pan” is a
horizontal change in camera direction, moving the field
of view to the left or right. “Tilt” is a vertical change in
camera direction, raising or lowering the field of view.
2. To pan or tilt camera, move the joystick up, down,
left or right. The joystick control, when deflected
diagonally, will also drive the pan-and-tilt functions
simultaneously.

now pan continuously between the selected limits.
Ifmanual operation is desired, press the AUTGPAN
switch again.
4. MAINTENANCE
The pan-and-tilt drive is factory lubricated for the life
of the unit and no maintenance is required under normal
operating conditions. The V39OAPT pan motor is im-
pedance protected. The tilt drive motor is protected by
a thermal overload switch. If the tilt drive fails to
function after operating for an extended period, check
that the pilot light on the control unit is on.
If the pilot
light is on, the thermal overload switch may have
opened after continuous operation. In this case, the tilt
drive will resume operation after cooling down. A fuse
is also provided in the control unit to protect against a
short circuit. If the pilot light in the control unit fails to
illuminate, check the fuse. Replace with a Type 3AG
fuse of the appropriate rating.
