Slide plate calibration (Vector 430i)
On the Vector 430i pan & tilt head both the balance and slide plate sensors will need calibrating,
either in the factory or in the field, on first setup or after a battery change, for instance.
To enter calibration mode, hold down the level bubble illumination button [8] and the
numeric display button [4] simultaneously for 2 seconds. The display will change to show
‘CAL’, flashing slowly.
Once in calibration mode, move the slide plate to its mechanical extremes in both
directions and wind the Perfect Balance knob [5] to its mechanical extremes in both
directions. The controller monitors the measurements and stores the maximum and
minimum values.
To complete calibration, press and hold the display button for 2 seconds. The software
then stores the calibration limits in flash memory and flashes ‘CAL’ five times rapidly.
NOTE: Calibration limits for a given sensor are only stored if sufficient movement has
been detected on that sensor. This allows one sensor to be calibrated at a time.
If no movement has been detected on either sensor within 15 seconds, the
calibration mode is aborted and no calibration limits are stored.
