ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS 

The Video Zero Maze (VZM) has been separated into basic components for shipping 
purposes.  Begin by unpacking all components of the maze.  Locate the maze base

 and 

situate it in the location where testing will be performed. Be sure that the area is evenly 
lit and the maze base is centered on the blue plastic mat.  The mat should be oriented so 
that it protrudes from under the open sections of the maze. 

Camera Mount and Lights 

The camera mount and lights must be placed on the crossbeam prior to assembling the 
maze.  Locate the crossbeam, camera mounting bracket, lights, and firewire camera, 
shown in Figure 1.  

 

Figure 1 - Crossbeam, Lights, Camera Brackets and Camera 

     

1.  Notice that the crossbeam has a cable clamp mounted on it.  This is the top of the 

crossbeam. 

2.  Slide the camera bracket onto the crossbeam so that hole in the top center of the 

crossbeam is aligned with the hole in the top of the camera bracket.  Fix the camera 
bracket in place using the included thumbscrew. 

3.  Notice that one of the lights has a cable clamp mounted on the top of it, and the 

other does not.  Slide the light without the clamp onto the end of the crossbeam that 
does not have a clamp on it, as shown in Figure 2.  Slide the light onto the 
crossbeam until it hits the camera bracket.

5.  Orient the lights as desired on the crossbeam and fix in place using the thumbscrews. 

6.  Install the Firewire camera into the camera bracket and fix in place using the 

included thumbscrew, as shown in Figure 3.
