English

Wedge adaptor

The camera is attached to the head by means of a wedge adaptor (14), which is mounted on a graduated
sliding plate (13). The position of the slide plate is adjusted by a retractable knob (2) and a clamp (16) is
provided to hold the slide plate in position.

Four-hole mounting plate

The head is provided with a standard Vinten four-hole mounting plate (25), which includes a `Quickfix'
mounting and provision for use of a Mitchell adaptor (21).

Carrying handle

A retractable carrying handle (3) is provided on the right-hand side of the head. The handle is spring-loaded
to the closed position.

Positioning encoders

The Vector 950 OE head is fitted with high resolution Renishaw encoders on both pan and tilt axes, which
are accessed via a connector (26) on the left-hand side of the head. The quadrature square wave outputs
provide high-resolution real-time digital output of 1,900,000 counts for 360° of pan and 2,200,000 counts
for 360° of tilt.

Electronic unit

An electronic unit is fitted to the rear of the head, powered by a battery housed in a compartment (20) in
the base of the head. The unit comprises a two-row digital display (11) and two push-button buttons - an
illumination button (12), which illuminates the LCD display, levelling bubble and the pan and tilt drag knob
scales for 15 seconds, and a timer button (10). Pressed singly or in conjunction with each other, the buttons
provide control of the time, stopwatch and calibration functions.
For a detailed description of each function, see Digital display on page 20.
