Final Assembly:

1.

Install the top Stringer (item 5) on the chassis at Slots DD. Use a small amount of epoxy or
solder. Use it sparingly since it may be necessary to remove the stringer for repairs or perhaps
to upgrade to the optional 5VDC Voltage Regulator in the future.

2.

Using two 2-56 x 3/8" machine screws and nuts (with Loctite), install the HS-81 pan servo
(with rubber grommets and metal eyelets) to the Base Plate (item 10). Using the retaining
screw supplied with the servo, attach the servo to the chassis mounted servo wheel. Be sure
to install it so that servo center results in a forward looking camera pan position. For best
results, set your R/C transmitter’s EPA/ATV mix for maximum servo travel. Verify that the pan
servo is able to rotate without hitting any chassis obstructions. By the way, the Pan Backing
Plates (items 14 and 15) are used to help strengthen the model where the Pan Base is
installed in it.

3.

While using your R/C transmitter, adjust the tilt linkage for best servo movement. Ensure that
the servo is not allowed to stall or it will be damaged. It will be necessary to adjust your R/C
transmitter’s EPA/ATV mix feature to set the maximum lower and upper travel ranges. 

Revision-C Voltage Regulator Option:

The top Stringer (item 5) can be replaced with the optional
5VDC voltage regulator board. It is compatible with the 5-volt
KX-131 (KPC-S226CB) board camera. The input voltage
may range from 6.0VDC to 9.0VDC.

Note: On the Rev-C board, the 3-wire signal order on the
Battery input is NOT the same as the Camera side. Please
consult the photo on the right for full details.

1.

The Voltage Regulator requires assembly. It uses SMD
components so advanced soldering skills are needed. The electronic components are
available from mouser.com for about $10.
