Verso Arm - MTB200A
Unpacking:
Remove the Verso Arm and accessories from the box.
Worktop Mounting:
The Verso arm can be mounted to a work surface using either Bench Clamp ❶ or screwing the Base Mount ❷ directly on to a surface of sufficient strength as follows:
To use the Bench Clamp, connect this to the Base Mount using the four fixings provided through the
holes marked ❸ on the underside of the Base Mount.
To mount the Verso arm directly on to the work surface, use four M5 bolts and nuts (not provided) through the holes marked ❹ on the underside of the Base Mount.
With the Base Mount secured to the work surface, carefully lower the Verso arm on to the Base Mount ensuring they are flush with no gap between them.
When located properly, the Verso arm should rotate easily.

Operation:
Adjusting the Verso arm counterbalance
The Verso arm counterbalance should be adjusted depending on the weight of the units attached to it as follows:
Remove the cable tidy cover ❶ to gain access to the counterbalance adjustment control ❷.
Rotate the control to the left (towards +) to increase the counterbalance for heavier loads.
Rotate the control to the right (towards -) to decrease the counterbalance for lighter loads.
Adjust the control until the arm balances unaided when placed in the middle of its travel.
Always make sure the system is fully supported when adjusting the counterbalance
Verso arm friction brake:
Use the Friction Brake handle ❶ to apply friction and/or lock the vertical movement of the arm in place.
Verso cable tidy:
Detach the cable tidy ❶ to route any cables down the arm.
Verso Arm Movement Restrictor:
This part is supplied with the Verso Arm.
This is recommended to be used when the x10 or x15 objectives are in use on an PIXO or ERGO head or when a x1.5 or x2.0 objectives are in use on an EVO Cam AURA when mounted on the VERSO arm without the forearm extension.
The movement restrictor will prevent the objective lenses from being able to impact the work surface when fitted.
TO FIT
Push the U end of the clip onto the pin between the Friction Brake and the top mounting point ❶.
The clip should sit inside the moulding ❷.
To remove pull out towards user ❸.
Be aware of potential finger traps from moving joints of the VERSO Arm.
