Proper installation and maintenance extend Pan-Tilt Unit lifespan significantly. As a professional manufacturer, we summarize best practices below.
1. Site Assessment
o Ensure mounting surface supports ≥3x the gimbal’s max load.
o Allow sufficient rotation space (especially ceiling mounts).
o Plan cable routing and protection.
2. Mechanical Installation
o Use manufacturer-provided brackets and hardware.
o Tighten all fasteners to recommended torque.
o Perform static and low-speed dynamic balance tests.
3. Electrical Connections
o Follow wiring diagrams strictly (pay attention to grounding).
o Separate power and signal cables to avoid interference.
o Weatherproof connections (for outdoor use).
· Monthly Checks:
o Inspect fasteners and mechanical integrity.
o Verify cable connections.
o Lubricate moving parts.
· Quarterly Maintenance:
o Clean optical windows (if equipped).
o Check waterproof seals.
o Test preset position accuracy.
· Annual Service:
o Replace lubricants.
o Inspect motors and drive systems.
o Recalibrate position sensors.
