5.5 JOYSTICK MONITOR OPERATOR STATION

5.5.1 MOUNTING

This operator station allows the monitor to be controlled by a joystick. The installer will need to mount the joystick and connect the 
cables to the communication interface box or to a primary operator station. The joystick needs to be mounted in a weatherproof 
location. Example:  Inside the cab of the truck.

Select proper weatherproof operating location.  Joystick will require 4 ½” x 4 ½” (114 x 114mm) of panel space.  A depth of 4” 
(100mm) will be required behind the panel.  Refer to Figure 5.5.1.1 for cutout dimensions.

After mounting the installer may rotate the joystick up to 22 degrees in either direction.  To rotate joystick lift the rubber boot to 
expose adjustable clamp.  Loosen the clamping screws, rotate the joystick to desired position, and tighten clamping screws.
