operation are vital to prevent electronic components from shocking,
overheating, melting, or exploding.
Specifically:
1. Avoid Wet Conditions: Never operate the equipment or handle cabling if it is
wet or moist, or if there's even a slight chance that parts of the equipment may
be damp.
2. Ensure Proper Grounding: Connect all grounding points to the battery (-)
terminal before powering on any equipment. Never disconnect the grounds
while the unit is powered on.
3. Avoid Reversing Power Leads: Ensure power leads are not reversed.
Misconnection will certainly cause component failure. Components may
overheat and explode with violent force.
4. Mechanical Limits: Be mindful to prevent your telescope from moving to a
mechanical limit (like the ground) to avert damage and injury.
5. Voltage Caution: Utilize 12VDC – Even though the controller can operate
between 12V-24VDC. We recommend 12VDC only, for the safety reasons.
WARNING: DC voltages higher than 12 volts can be lethal upon shock!
6. Avoiding Cable Wrapping: Ensuring that cables do not wrap around ALT
pulleys is vital for safety and maintaining equipment integrity. The ALT
pulley can easily breaks the cable, resulting in a short circuit, a potential
electric shock, and significant damage. It is strongly advised to attach a battery
to the telescope rocker, ensuring that all cables stay stationary relative to the
OTA as the telescope moves. It's essential to select the battery that can deliver
a constant 12VDC output, as not all products guarantee this.
It's imperative to observe these safety guidelines strictly. Your wellbeing and the
integrity of your equipment depend on cautious and correct operation. If uncertain
about any procedure, please consult the product manual or contact customer support.
