CAUTION!
Watson Sensors are rugged devices that have been used successfully in a number of harsh
environments. The components have been qualified to withstand a mechanical shock of 200g 's or
greater, and most enclosures provide an added level of protection. However, dropping a sensor
from waist height onto a hard floor can cause a shock level of 600g's. At this level, damage is
likely to occur.
Introduction
This manual is intended to help in understanding the installation and operation requirements of the
Watson Stabilized Pan & Tilt Platform System. This platform employs gyros to stabilize the
platform to allow devices to be accurately positioned on target irrespective of the motion of the
vehicle on which it is mounted. Details of the operation and adjustments are provided to allow the
owner to obtain optimum performance from this product.
Watson Industries has many years of experience developing stabilized platform sensor packages for
camera and antenna applications. Now we have taken the next step and are offering a complete
system.
Watson Industries also provides custom systems for special requirements. Our system design is
modular and configurable for economical and quick adaptation to a wide variety of hardware
configurations. Watson Industries’ excellent product support and applications engineering goes
