LX200 Refurbishment |
GENERAL ADVICE DO NOT LOSE THE SPRINGS when you take the slow motion brackets off the telescope! They will ping off. If they do need replacement you need a working pressure about 1 to 1.5kg when the brackets are adjusted. This moving component is retained to minimise backlash in the final assemblies. |

FINISHING OFF
Check the tightness and adjustment of the gears. Power up each axis in turn and check that the motors operate smoothly without binding. A slew rate of up to 2.4 degrees per second should be achieved. Fit the front connector plate and plug in the internal motor cable to the RA motor. Plug in the internal cable to the 8 way socket for the periodic error to function. Everything should now be done.
The motor cabling to the drivebox is identical on each axis. The gear ratio is also the same on both axes. This makes an easy job of fault finding as bits can be swapped.
