1. Monitor
Before mounting the Sidewinder
®
monitor, ensure that both the horizontal and vertical rotation
envelopes are clear of all obstructions. See Figure 8 and Figure 9 for envelope dimensions. The
rotation limits are determined by the magnet locations in the monitor body, and cannot be adjusted.
(Exception: A 334° monitor can be made into a 180° monitor by adding two magnets through an
access hole).

1) Ensure the left-right and up-down motors are aligned as shown in Figure 8.
2) Mount the Sidewinder
®
monitor to a securely mounted 2.0” NPT threaded pipe (additional
support may be necessary). The monitor can be mounted in any orientation, although some
orientations will reverse the directions of movement relative to the control box.
3) Ensure that all of the electrical connections have been disconnected.
4) Apply a suitable thread sealant, thread the monitor onto the pipe connection, and tighten it
securely with a strap wrench. Make sure the motor on the monitor base is facing away from the
intended center of rotation. The rotation limits are determined by the magnet locations in the
monitor body, and cannot be adjusted. (Exception: A 334° monitor can be made into a 180°
monitor by adding two magnets through an access hole).
5) Reconnect the electrical connections according to Figure 19 and Figure 20. Check all of the
electrical connections to make sure they are tight. Allow enough slack in the monitor harness to
permit travel to the limits allowed by the controller without straining the wires.
