How to align Polar Axis (use compass and protractor)

★

Using in the Southern Hemisphere

★

Attaching the pan head

★

Mounting Camera

⚠

Caution

Polar axis can be easily matched with commercially available compass and protoractor.

When aligning direction, align the direction of N with the orientation of the indicator groove

of the main body when the direction of the magnetic needle is shifted to the deviation

angle. When adjusting the latitude, place a protractor on the surface where the display

window is located, and adjust the angle so that the latitude is on the observation site.

Latitude and delination of each place, see data sheet on page 18.

When using the unit in the Southern Hemisphere, the compass and the protoractor are

necessary to adjust polar axis.

Before mounting camera to the pan head, make sure two fixing screws

are firmly tightened.

After mounting camera to the pan head, move the camera to the

direction you want to shoot.

Setting the East side of the unit (right side of the display window)

become slightly heavier will reduce the influence of gear rattle (backlash)

Do not directly mount the camera to the turntable.

It may damage the camera.

The center of gravity of the camera does not need to

be the same as the position of the mounting screw.

If one side of the camera is too heavy, it may

rotate depending on the angle. Use a commercially

available slide plate to correct the center of the

gravity of the camera.

Match

Move the direction of

the magnetic needle

by about 7 degrees.
