AT pro 1000 build

Building the AT Pro-1000 Tracking Station

( Hitec servo mod at bottom of page)

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.

Base plates and 4) 1/4" bolts, spacers, nuts etc.. Put 1/4" bolt through base, Slip sleeve over bolt

Should look like this when done Panning Servo and 4) fasteners

Step 2: Put together Panning Table

Parts needed install flat panning surface bearing

Bearing installed Cut servo horn where marked

Install servo horn to panning table. Some servos and horns (HS-785HB) may need spacing like small washers between the panning table and the horn to make good contact with servos splines so check for proper fit. Install panning table onto Base lining up servo.

Make sure it's centered. Install servo horn screw. Mount bearing to the base. Attached with 4 fasteners

Make sure it rotates smoothly with no binding

It should look like this when done

Step 3: Put together Tilt Plate

Install tilt arm balance bracket to servo

Tilt Plate, balancing plates and servo Cut servo horn as shown

Mount servo horn to balance plate then attach to Tilt Arm Mount as shown. Can be changed if balancing is needed

    Balance plate for opposite side           Install 25mm bolt as shown. (Can be changed if balancing is needed)

Install Tilt arm plate to Balance plate Install servo to Pan Table

Servo Hardware Spread Pan table insert 25mm bolt

Locktight nut and do not over tighten Finished

Hitec HS-785HB 360 Servo Mod for early versions of the ATpro-1000

On early versions of the ATpro-1000 tracking station bottom panning plate the hole alignment is off when using the
Hitec HS-785HB 360 servo.
The easy fix would be to enlarge the holes and use washers but another
cleaner mod would be to drill a 1/8" hole next to the hole shown in pictures above. Do Not drill or in-large the other 2 servo mounting holes (Hitec label side) as they are in the correct location for keeping the servo aligned with center.

Another simple mod for a better fit is to file the label area as shown. The label area is raised above the rest of the servo top and can cause a less then perfect fit when the servo is installed (as seen in picture 3). Simply file a small amount of bevel or the whole label area to gain a better fit.

This is not a big deal or needed for good operation but it looks Nice and flush now.
