Hardware Setup
- The PST can be mounted with the standard tripod mount (1/4-20 UNC) at the bottom of the device. Ensure that the PST is positioned in such a way that no objects are blocking its line of sight.
- Attach the power cable to the power supply unit and plug the other end into a wall socket (110-240V). Plug the cable coming from the power supply unit into the back of the PST.
