6. INSTALLATION
6.1 TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT NEEDED
• Screwdriver and Mounting Screws: The only tool needed to install the DPT 115 is a
screwdriver for securing the pan & tilt base to its mount.
• #2 Phillips Screwdriver: To be used if access into the Electronics module is required.
• Customer furnished video cable from pan & tilt head to the user monitor.
6.2 STANDARD INSTALLATION
To get optimum performance from any pan and tilt it is important to have the weight of the
camera and lens balanced. This balance assures the pan and tilt will go in the up and down
directions at the same speed. Returning to presets accurately is also achieved when the load on
the pan and tilt is balanced.
To balance the load, determine the balance point of the camera and lens assembly. Mark this
point on the camera/lens with a small piece of tape. Position the camera and lens on the pan and
tilt mounting plate as shown with the center point of the load positioned over the center point of
the mounting plate. Note that in most cases the camera is mounted as far to the rear of the pan
and tilt as possible. In some cases it may not be possible to get the balance and still have the
camera mounting screw on the mounting plate. For these situations see the following sections for
installing and balancing the camera using the teleconferencing lens adapter bracket.
