Never disconnect the pan and tilt cables while the PAL is under power. Doing so
will
damage the driver ICs.
This procedure is not required for units shipped from the factory in flight cases.
1. Release the four thumbscrews located on the top front of the PAL.
2. Attach the safety wire of the pan/tilt unit to the dedicated hole in the PAL body.
3. Connect the pan and tilt cables from the pan/tilt unit to the terminals on the body. Ensure that the connec-
tors are pressed firmly into place.
4. Place the pan/tilt unit on top of the PAL so that the four securing points are right in front of the retaining
thumbscrews. Verify that the pan/tilt cable and the safety wire fit properly in the space under the pan/tilt
shaft.
5. Slide the pan/tilt unit towards the rear of the PAL so that the securing points and the thumbscrews slide into
one another. Tighten the thumb screws.
To remove the pan/tilt unit, follow the above procedure in the reverse order.
