Operation
Installing the head
The HS-105 pan/tilt head can be mounted to a tripod, pedestal or mounted to a wall or ceiling
using a mounting adapter. For installations where the HS-105 pan/tilt head is frequently moved
from location to location, a wedge plate and adapter may be used to attach the head to its
mount. Contact Vinten Radamec for information on the various mounting adapters that allow
you to mount the HS-105 pan/tilt head to a wall or ceiling, if they are required for your
installation.
Mounting the head
The HS-105 pan/tilt head has a three-hole mounting plate [12] and is secured either to a
mounting adapter for wall or ceiling installations or to the flat base of the pedestal or tripod
using the three bolts supplied. An adaptor plate (AM-VMA-105) is available that converts the
three-bolt fixing to a standard four-bolt fixing for mounting to a pedestal or tripod with a four
screw flat base.
Fitting the camera and payload
Where the camera is supplied with its own mounting plate, this assembly can be attached
directly to the platform [6] using the supplied fixing bolts.
To fit the camera and accessories proceed as follows:
Switch off the power to the head.
Position the platform [6] in the horizontal position.
Loosen the 2 platform fixing screws [2] securing the platform [6] and lower the platform
[6] to its lowest position. Resecure the 2 platform fixing screws [2]. Setting the platform
in this way will aid subsequent balancing of the camera payload.
Attach the camera assembly onto the platform [6] and secure using the supplied
camera fixing bolts through the camera mounting slots [7] into the base of the camera.
Warning!
The installation of the HS-105 pan/tilt head should only be performed by
competent and trained personnel.
Warning!
For overhead mounting applications the HS-105, camera and accessories
must be fitted with fall arresters that comply with local requirements.
Warning!
1. Switch off power before fitting the payload.
2. Do NOT exceed the maximum payload. The weight of the total payload
must not exceed 34 kg (75 lb).
