MSR-H01-PH Pan Head Assembly

	Pan Bottom Plate Assembly MSR-H01-PTH-ASSY01

Parts List
ITEM	QTY	PART NUMBER	DESCRIPTION
1	1	MSR-H01-P02	MSR-H01 Coxa Bottom Plate
2	1	MSR-P004	M3 x 16 Hexagon Socket Button Head
3	1	MSR-P013	M3 Hex Full Nut
4	1	MSR-P005	9 x 6mm Round Zinc Plated Brass Spacer

Assemble as per diagram.

	Pan Top Plate Assembly MSR-H01-PH-ASSY02

Parts List
ITEM	QTY	PART NUMBER	DESCRIPTION
1	1	MSR-H01-P01	MSR-H01 Coxa Top Plate
2	2	MSR-P001	M3 x 40mm F-F Steel Hexagonal Spacer
3	2	MSR-P007	M3 x 10 Hexagon Socket Button Head
4	2	MSR-P014	M3 Plain Washer ( Not included / Do Not Fit )

Assemble as per diagram, pay attention of head top plate orientation.

The washers (4) are not included with the kit as the not necessary when using the recomended servos HS-311 / HS-322 or HS-475. However, if you intend to fit larger servos such as the HS-645, you will need to add these washers (4) to increase the stand-off length (2).

	Pan Servo Assembly MSR-H01-PTH-ASSY03

Parts List
ITEM	QTY	PART NUMBER	DESCRIPTION
1	1	MSR-H01-PTH-ASSY02	MSR-H01 Coxa Assembly
2	2	MSR-P006	M4 x 10 Hexagon Socket Button Head
3	2	MSR-P012	M4 Hex Full Nut
4	1	MSR-HS225BB/MG	Hitec HS-225BB or HS-225MG Servo
5	1	MSR-HSH24	Hitec 24mm Servo horn (from HS-225 servo)
6	1	MSR-HSSST	Hitec Servo horn screw (from HS-225 servo)

The servo horn (5) must be removed in order to fit the coxa servo (4). Take care not to rotate the servo spline when unscrewing the horn retaining screw (6). After the servo (4) has been fitted, replace the horn (5) in the same position. Having re-fitted your servo horn, I strongly recommend that you re-check your coxa servo is still centered: Servo Preparation Guide

Pay attention to the servo orientation, the servo horn is at the end closest to the hexagonal spacers.

	Pan Assy Assembly MSR-H01-PTH-ASSY04

Parts List
ITEM	QTY	PART NUMBER	DESCRIPTION
1	1	MSR-H01-ASSY01	MSR-H01-PTH Bottom assembly
2	2	MSR-P007	M3 x 10 Hexagon Socket Button Head
3	1	MSR-H01-ASSY03	MSR-H01-PTH Head assembly
4	1	MSR-HS645MG	Hitec HS-645MG Servo

Insert the femur servo (4) into the top coxa plate slot as shown with the servo horn towards the bottom coxa plate.

There are two ways to mount the tilt servo (4).

In the position shown the servo is mounted with the horn closest to the bottom plate, this will give a tilt range of 16° up and 60° down.
Alternatively the servo is mounted with the servo horn closest to the top plate, this will give a tilt range of 60° up and 16° down. Take a look at the assembly image in stage (7) for an example of the tilt servo (4) mounted in second configuration. This configuration is probably the more useful when using your Pan/Tilt head for an MSR-H01 hexapod.

	Tilt End Plate Assembly MSR-H01-PTH-ASSY05

Parts List
ITEM	QTY	PART NUMBER	DESCRIPTION
1	2	MSR-P001	M3 x 40mm F-F Steel Hexagonal Spacer
2	2	MSR-P007	M3 x 10 Hexagon Socket Button Head
3	1	MSR-H01-P04	MSR-H01-PTH Side Part 2

Assemble as per diagram.

	Tilt Side & Front Plate Assembly MSR-H01-PTH-ASSY06

Parts List
ITEM	QTY	PART NUMBER	DESCRIPTION
1	1	MSR-H01-PTH-ASSY05	MSR-H01-PTH Tilt End Assembly
2	1	MSR-PTH-P05	MSR-H01-PTH Tilt Front Plate
3	2	MSR-P007	M3 x 10 Hexagon Socket Button Head
4	1	MSR-PTH-P03	MSR-H01-PTH Tilt Side Plate

Assemble as per diagram.

	Pan & Tilit Final Assembly MSR-H01-PTH-ASSY07

Parts List
ITEM	QTY	PART NUMBER	DESCRIPTION
1	1	MSR-H01-PTH-ASSY06	MSR-H01-PTH Tilt assembly
2	1	MSR-H01-PTH-ASSY04	MSR-H01-PTH Pan assembly
3	2	MSR-P008	N0.2 x 6.4mm Self tapping screw

Take great care when fitting self tapping screws (3). Use the correct size phillips screw driver to avoid slipping or damaging the screw head. Once fitted the servo horn should fit flush with the side plate, if this is not the case, back the screws (3) off a couple of turns and then re-tighten. Fit the screws into the middle of the single row of three holes on the horn indicated below (A) & (B).

ServoDetail

Although not necessary, the servo horn screw holes can be enlarged using a 1.5mm or 1/16" drill bit for easier screw installation.

Now fit the Pan/Tilt assembly to the fron of your hexapod using two (MSR-P008) self tapping screws. Don't forget to fit the nylon shoulder bearing (MSR-P011) into the hexapod bottom plate.
