Building the AT Pro-1000 Tracking Station

Note: New improvements to the ATpro-1000 as of March 2011
making it even Better and easier to Build!
Note: New version No Longer has provisions for standard servo on pan as the larger HS-785HB is much better.

Assembly takes about 30-45 minutes. Some trackers that came with servos may come with some assembly already like the base and tilt arm. Simply use this info to assist in finishing the assembly.


Step 1. Put together base plate as shown.

           
                                         Parts laid out.                                        Red servo horn comes from the HS-645MG spare horns

                                                                         

                                                      Install HS-785HB servo                                            Attach bottom Tripod plate with `1/4" bolts
                                                                                                                                                     

                                                                           
                                                                            Should look like this when done                                        

       




Step 2: Put together Panning Table


   
                                  Parts needed                                                             install flat panning surface bearing.


   
            Bearing installed. Cut down Servo Horn as shown                                               Install with 2 #2 screws




     
             Next install Panning Table to Base.                                        Mount bearing to the base. Attached with 4 fasteners


     
                             Install servo screw.                                       Turn slowly. Make sure it rotates smoothly with no binding.
                         If evidence of binding Do Not Force. Loosen the 4 bearing nuts and re-align. Check again and tighten.
      



Step 3: Put together Tilt Plate

 
   
    Tilt Plate, balancing plates(pre Feb 2011) and servo. Cut servo horn. Hitec servos need the raised ring around the bolt hole trimmed flush.
Early Versions of the AT Pro-1000 Balancing plates are not used on new version which are now part of the tilting plate making it easier to balance and build.
                         
   
                            Install Servo as shown                                                              Install 1/4" rubber bushing



    Slip in bushing sleeve. Servo screw is put through the tilting plate 

  

                 1 or 2 small #2 screw is used for holding the indexing at the horn.             Spread Pan table insert 25mm bolt

 Note: Some Trackers have a supplied #2x3/8 indexing screws that maybe to long so cutting down to proper size maybe needed.

 

Use supplied washer/spacers to keep a small gap between the moving parts.
