Safety Summary
This section describes safety information for the PositionIt and its default joystick controller.
These are recommended precautions that personnel must understand and apply throughout
installation, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting. Be sure to read and understand the
entire manual before performing any procedure outlined in this manual.
SIGNAL WORD DEFINITIONS
Warnings highlight an essential operating or maintenance procedure, practice, condition,
statement, etc., which, if not strictly observed, could result in injury to, or death of, personnel or
long-term health hazards.
Cautions highlight an essential operating or maintenance procedure, practice, condition,
statement, etc., which, if not strictly observed, could result in damage to, or destruction of,
equipment or loss of mission effectiveness.
Note: Notes highlight an essential operating or maintenance procedure, condition, or statement.
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The following are general safety precautions that are not related to any specific procedures.
These are recommended precautions that personnel must understand and apply throughout
installation, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting. Additional precautions which apply to
specific procedures and steps may be listed with the procedure or step to which they apply.
Electrocution Hazard! Do not touch live wires. Make sure all power has been disconnected
prior to performing installation or maintenance. Make certain that the area is free of overhead
power lines and other unwanted sources of electricity. Do not operate the system during an
electrical storm. Follow OSHA safety regulations when working near energized power lines. Be
sure to allow sufficient clearance on all sides of the mast to allow for side sway. Death or
serious injury could result if proper precautions are not performed.
Resuscitation! Personnel working with or near high voltages should be familiar with modern
methods of resuscitation. Such information may be obtained from the Bureau of Medicine and
Surgery, United States Navy.
Pinch Point Hazard! Keep clear of moving parts. Be sure to stay clear of the positioner during
operation. Moving parts can crush and cut resulting in serious injury.

POSITIONIT PI-150 AND PI-75
viii TP-5129001-J
January 2022
Crush Hazard! Do not stand directly beneath the positioner or payload. Be certain payload is
properly installed and secured. In locations or areas where the risk of injury occurs, or any part
of the assembly may become detached or fall for any reason, a strong safety chain or wire
hawser should be attached between the equipment and the mounting surface. At all times,
normal safety precautions must be employed. Death or serious injury could result if positioner
fails suddenly.
Safety Equipment! Helmets or hard hats, eye protection, gloves, and safety shoes or combat
boots must be properly worn while working in the deployment area. Death or serious injury
could result if proper safety equipment is not properly worn.
Trained Personnel Only! Installation, operation, and maintenance to be performed by trained
and authorized personnel only. Death or serious injury could result if proper installation,
inspection, operation, and maintenance procedures are not observed.
Lifting Hazard! Manually lifting over 55 lb. (25kg) is prohibited. In the UK, all lifting equipment
must be thoroughly examined annually by a competent person according to the Lifting
Operations and Lift Equipment Regulations 1998. Equivalent regulations exist in other EU
states.
Safety Instruction –Remote Control! The equipment is subject to remote control and may be
operated at any time. Persons working on the equipment should take appropriate precautions to
ensure that any unexpected movement does not occur as this could lead to injury.
Equipment Damage! All persons installing and maintaining this equipment should be suitably
qualified and work to national and local standards and codes of practice.
Equipment Damage! Each positioner contains a 1.85 amp self-resetting circuit breaker to
protect the PC board. Do not disassemble the positioner side plates, or separate from the
pedestal. Doing so will break the environmental seal and potentially cause improper stop limit
settings. This will void the warranty.

1.3 Additional Documentation
In addition to this manual, the controller ships with the controller manual. Reference this manual
for additional information on the function of the controller.
1.4 Definitions of Terms and Symbols
Throughout this manual, the following will be used:
General Terms:
•Positioner refers to the PositionIt (both PI-150 and PI-75).
•Controller refers to the default joystick controller (P/N: 5098901).
•System refers to the entire positioner and controller system.
•Payload refers to the object or equipment being moved by the positioner.
Positions
•Home (Figure 1-1) to refer to the factory set preset position [0] (zero) which is set to
move the positioner to the mid-point of both the pan and tilt. In this position, the tilt
platform will be horizontal, and the pan axis will be in the center position. In this position,
the rear of the positioner is the side facing the side egress on the mounting pedestal.
Note that the offset on the left of the positioner, as you face the side egress, is wider
than the offset to the right. The positioner ships in the home position.

TP-5129001-J 1-3
January 2022
•Stowed refers to a customer-set preset position which the positioner moves the payload
to a desired pan and tilt position for travel or safe storage. The customer should set this
as preset [1].
•Unstowed refers to a customer-set preset position which the positioner moves the
payload to a desired pan and tilt position from the stowed position. The customer should
be sure the positioner can be safely moved to this position from the stowed position
without causing damage. The customer should set this as preset [2].
Directions
•When operating the positioner, directions are given as follows:
Home Position

Figure 1-2 Positioner Directions (PI-150 Shown)
•When using the default joystick:
oPushing the joystick forward will tilt the positioner towards the rear
oPulling the joystick back will tilt the positioner towards the front
oMoving the joystick to the right will rotate the joystick clockwise
oMoving the joystick to the left will rotate the joystick counterclockwise
Symbols:
•Characters inside < > as in <Success!> represent text that appears on the display
screen.
•Characters inside [ ] as in [1] represent buttons or keys being used.

1.6.4 Positioner Power Supply
The positioner power supply (P/N: 208016) (Figure 1-6) is used in systems using 120 VAC (50
or 60 Hz) or 240 VAC (50 or 60 Hz) to convert the AC power to 24 VDC input power for the
positioner. The power supply has short circuit, overcurrent, overvoltage, and over temperature
protections. It is an IP67 design and is suitable for dry, damp, or wet locations.
Figure 1-6 Positioner Power Supply
1.6.5 Step Up Converter
The step up converter (P/N: 208012) (Figure 1-7) is used in systems with 12 VDC input power
to step up the power to 24 VDC for the positioner.

1.6.6 Step Down Converter
The step down converter (P/N: 208017) (Figure 1-8) is used in systems with 24 VDC input
power to step down the power to 12 VDC to power the default joystick controller if the AC power
supply supplied with the joystick is not used to provide power.
Figure 1-8 Step Down Converter
1.6.7 Barrel Connector (2.1 mm)
The 2.1 mm barrel connector (P/N: 5195601) (Figure 1-9) can be used to connect the controller
to the step down converter or 12 VDC power source.

1. Mount the positioner with (4) high-strength ⅜ in. or M8 stainless steel bolts and nuts.
See Section 2.5 for additional detail and bolt pattern.
2. Wire the positioner according to the schematic (Section 7). See Section 2.6 for additional
detail.
3. Mount the payload with appropriate hardware. See Section 2.7 for additional detail.
To operate the positioner (Section 3):
1. Attach the controller.
2. Operate the positioner using the controller. See Section 3 for additional detail on the
