Maintenance
General
The HS-105 pan/tilt heads are robustly made to high engineering standards. Generally, aside
from checking balance and overall operation periodically (once a week for example), the HS-
105 pan/tilt head should require no other routine maintenance.
Routine Checks
During use, check the following:
Check the balance of the head and re-balance is necessary.
Check the data communications with the controller.
Check the overall operation of the head. Use the controller to exercise pan, tilt, zoom
and focus communications through their ranges. Ensure the movement of the head is
smooth and consistent.
No further routine maintenance is required.
Cleaning
During normal use the only cleaning required should be a regular wipe over with a lint-free cloth.
Dirt accumulated during storage or periods of disuse may be removed with a semi-stiff brush.
Particular attention should be paid to the three-hole mounting and camera mounting faces
along with all the connection ports.
CAUTION! 1. Do NOT use oil or grease on any exposed part of the product. This is
unnecessary and traps dirt which acts as an abrasive.
2. DO NOT use solvent- or oil-based cleaners, abrasives or wire
brushes to remove accumulations of dirt as these damage the protec-
tive surfaces. To clean mechanical surfaces, use only detergent-based
cleaners.
3. External electrical connection ports should only be cleaned with a
semi-stiff brush or a clean, dry air supply.
