Installation
Balancing and Adjustments
Balancing is achieved by correctly positioning the counterbalance
weights. Other adjustments can also be made to the prompter
assembly position if this is a requirement of the installation.
Basic Balancing
1.
Slide the counterbalance weights along the rods and secure in
position with the two clamping screws. Unlock the tilt axis and
check the fore and aft balance of the payload.
2.
If the payload is not correctly balanced, lock the tilt axis and:
a)
If the payload is falling forward (front heavy), move the
counterbalance weights further back on the rods.
b)
If the payload is falling backwards (rear heavy), move the
counterbalance weights further forward on the rods.
3.
Secure the counterbalance weights and re-check the balance.
Splitting the Counterbalance Weights
If the counterbalance weights have too much effect, even in the closest
mounting position, one half can be removed.
1.
If fitted, remove the counterbalance weights from the prompter
assembly.
2.
Using a 4 mm Allen
key, remove the two
screws securing the
weights together.
3.
Separate the weights
and refit one of the
halves with the
clamping screws.
WARNING!
After fitting or adjusting the prompter assembly
and any accessories, the payload must be correctly re-
balanced.
