MOUNTING
The 1218 Pan unit can be wall or ceiling mounted.
Mounting the Unit from the Ceiling
The 1218 is supplied with a ceiling mount (see Figure 2)
adapter plate bolted to the base. The base has four holes which
accept 6 mm bolts on a 4-inch (101.6 mm) diameter. The unit
can be attached directly to the ceiling by bolting or screwing
through these holes.
Wall Mounting Using the 1391 Mount
Mount the head on a 1391 mount in the following way:
• Three heavy duty screws are recommended for securing the
bracket.
• Bolt the 1218 unit to the bracket using the three 6 mm bolts
and washers supplied as shown in Figure 3. The ceiling
adapter plate is not used when mounting the head to a wall
bracket.
Note: If the unit is mounted upside down, reposition the
platform through 180°. Remember that the directions
of pan and tilt are reversed.

CONNECTING THE UNIT
The 1218 Series indoor pan/tilt unit has a cable approximately
1.5 m in length which connect to a controller with 16/0.2 cable
rated at 240V. Leave enough slack on the cable to prevent
straining the cable when the head is panning. Figure 3 shows
the standard wiring color scheme for the 1218.
ADJUSTING THE ANGLES OF MOVEMENT
Adjusting the Pan Axis Angle of Movement
• Make sure the 1218 is disconnected from the control
source.
• The Pan Axes Limit Contact Arms are accessible from the
underside of the 1218 (see Figure 5).
• Loosen the Pan Limit Switch Contact Arms with a 4 mm
Allen wrench.
• Rotate the arms until the desired pan range is achieved.
• Re-tighten the Contact Arm set-screws and test the 1218 for
correct pan operation.
Adjusting the Tilt Axis Angle of Movement
• Make sure the 1218 is disconnected from the control
source.
• Remove the plastic cover from the rear of the main body to
expose the Limit Switch Contact Arms (see Figure 6).
• Using a flat-faced screw-driver, turn the lock-down screw
counter-clockwise slightly until the limit striker arms begin
to loosen.
• Rotate the Contact Arms until the desired tilt angle is
achieved.
• Re-tighten the lock-down screw and test the 1218 for
correct tilt operation.
