Mounting the Tower to a Table
Important: The head support Tower should only be held by the vertical
posts and should NEVER be held by the mirror or the components
attached to the mirror.
We recommend you have somebody available to
assist with mounting the head-support Tower onto the table to prevent
damages to the IR mirror or other parts of the Tower.
Check whether the table is suitable for mounting the EyeLink 1000 Tower – the table used
should have a minimum thickness of 1.8 cm and a maximum thickness of 8.0 cm.
Loosen the table clamp by turning the knob counterclockwise, then place the table clamp fully
onto the table, and then tighten it clockwise (see
right side of
Figure 3-2). Check that it is
firmly secured by gently attempting to rock the table clamp base free. If the table clamp base
wobbles you will have to tighten it further.

The camera mount is quite heavy and cumbersome to move. For safety purposes it is
recommended that two people participate in setting up this piece of the equipment. One person
can support the weight of the camera mount while the other lines the spring-loaded clamps
with holes in the Tower poles. When released, the clamps secure a peg into the holes of the
Tower poles, thereby supporting the weight of the camera mount.
Gently pick up the camera mount with the mirror on the side that is away from you. It is
recommended that you hold the camera mount near the Tower height adjustment knobs as
shown in the center image of Figure 3-2. Be careful not to scratch or touch the mirror. Now line
the mount up with the vertical posts and gently lower it into position. The camera mounting
should rest about ½ inch into the hole.
Once the Tower Mount is placed onto the Tower poles you will need to adjust its height by
simultaneously pulling the Tower height adjustment knobs away from the poles on both the left
and right hand sides (see right side of Figure 3-2). Be careful as you still have to support the
