MOUNTING

The 1218 Pan unit can be wall or ceiling mounted.

Mounting the Unit from the Ceiling

The 1218 is supplied with a ceiling mount (see Figure 2)

adapter plate bolted to the base. The base has four holes which

accept 6 mm bolts on a 4-inch (101.6 mm) diameter. The unit

can be attached directly to the ceiling by bolting or screwing

through these holes.

Wall Mounting Using the 1391 Mount

Mount the head on a 1391 mount in the following way:

• Three heavy duty screws are recommended for securing the

bracket.

• Bolt the 1218 unit to the bracket using the three 6 mm bolts

and washers supplied as shown in Figure 3. The ceiling

adapter plate is not used when mounting the head to a wall

bracket.

Note: If the unit is mounted upside down, reposition the

platform through 180°. Remember that the directions

of pan and tilt are reversed.

CONNECTING THE UNIT

The 1218 Series indoor pan/tilt unit has a cable approximately

1.5 m in length which connect to a controller with 16/0.2 cable

rated at 240V. Leave enough slack on the cable to prevent

straining the cable when the head is panning. Figure 3 shows

the standard wiring color scheme for the 1218.

ADJUSTING THE ANGLES OF MOVEMENT

Adjusting the Pan Axis Angle of Movement

• Make sure the 1218 is disconnected from the control

source.

• The Pan Axes Limit Contact Arms are accessible from the

underside of the 1218 (see Figure 5).

• Loosen the Pan Limit Switch Contact Arms with a 4 mm

Allen wrench.

• Rotate the arms until the desired pan range is achieved.

• Re-tighten the Contact Arm set-screws and test the 1218 for

correct pan operation.

Adjusting the Tilt Axis Angle of Movement

• Make sure the 1218 is disconnected from the control

source.

• Remove the plastic cover from the rear of the main body to

expose the Limit Switch Contact Arms (see Figure 6).

• Using a flat-faced screw-driver, turn the lock-down screw

counter-clockwise slightly until the limit striker arms begin

to loosen.

• Rotate the Contact Arms until the desired tilt angle is

achieved.

• Re-tighten the lock-down screw and test the 1218 for

correct tilt operation.
