Slew Rate Adjustment Based On Temperature
The Paramount’s slew rate is automatically lowered when the ambient temperature drops below this value.
(Lowering the slew rate provides more torque to the servomotors. This additional torque can minimize potential
motor stalls from increased frictional forces at colder temperatures.)
Figure 67: The Slew Rate Adjustment Based on Temperature settings on the Utilities tab.
Click Slew Rate Adjustment Based On Temperature on the right side of the Utilities tab to change the maximum
slew rate and the temperature below which this slew rate is applied.
When the Temperature Is Below (C)
Enter the temperature, in degrees Celsius, below which the maximum slew rate of the mount will be reduced.
Apply (Percentage of Slew Rate)
Enter the percentage of the maximum slew rate to apply at lower temperatures.
Suppose the slew rate is set at 2 degrees per second for “normal operating temperatures”. Then, based on the
values in Figure 67, when the temperature drops below 0C the slew rate is set to 60 percent of 2 degrees per
second, or 1.2 degrees per second.
