3. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to properly set up and install your Panavise 864 Magnet Base:

1. Prepare the Mounting Surface: Ensure the ferrous metal surface where the magnet base will be placed is clean, dry, and free from debris, rust, or paint that could interfere with magnetic adhesion. A flat, smooth surface is recommended for maximum holding strength.

2. Position the Magnet Base: Carefully place the Panavise 864 Magnet Base onto the prepared metal surface. The strong magnet will immediately secure the base. Avoid sliding the base across delicate surfaces to prevent scratches.
3. Attach Your Device: The top of the Panavise 864 features a threaded stud (typically 1/4-20 UNC, common for camera mounts). Align the mounting hole of your CCTV camera or compatible device with this stud and rotate the device clockwise until it is securely fastened. Do not overtighten.

4. Verify Stability: Gently test the mounted device to ensure it is stable and the magnet base is firmly attached to the surface. If the device or base feels loose, re-evaluate the mounting surface and attachment.

4. Operation

Once installed, the Panavise 864 Magnet Base provides a fixed mounting point. To adjust the viewing angle or position of your camera, you will need to reposition the entire magnet base or utilize the articulation features of the camera itself or an additional mounting arm (not included) attached to the base.

• Repositioning: To move the base, gently lift it straight up from the surface to break the magnetic seal. Avoid dragging it to prevent damage to the surface or the base.
• Stability: Always ensure the base is fully seated on a flat, clean ferrous surface for optimal stability and holding power.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your magnet base:

• Cleaning: Periodically wipe the magnetic surface and the body of the base with a clean, dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Inspection: Inspect the magnetic surface for any signs of damage or wear. Ensure the threaded stud is not stripped or bent.
• Storage: When not in use, store the magnet base in a clean, dry environment.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Panavise 864 Magnet Base, refer to the following:

• Issue: Base does not adhere securely.
  • Solution: Ensure the mounting surface is made of ferrous metal (e.g., steel, iron). Clean the surface and the magnetic base thoroughly to remove any dirt, grease, or paint. Verify the surface is flat and smooth.
• Issue: Mounted device wobbles or becomes loose.
  • Solution: Re-tighten the device onto the threaded stud. Ensure the device's mounting hole is compatible with the stud size. If using an adapter, ensure it is also securely fastened.
