Orion AccuFocus 7395 Manual

Orion AccuFocus
Electronic Focuser
#7395
The AccuFocus Electronic Focuser makes achieving a sharp
focus much easier, as no vibrations are imparted to the telescope
when the focusing shaft is rotated. Focusing, especially at high
magnifications, becomes simple and more precise. In fact, you
may even see image detail you have never seen before due to
"shaky" focusing by hand!
The AccuFocus fits most Orion refractors and reflectors. It also
fits several of the focusers Orion sells separately.

Installation for Crayford
Focusers
If you have an Orion Crayford focuser, follow these simple steps
to install the AccuFocus. In addition to the provided hex keys, you
will need a Phillips head screwdriver.
1. Remove the focus knob from the right-hand side of the fo-
cuser. This is done by loosening the set screw that connects
the knob to the focusing shaft (Figure 2). Use the supplied
1.5mm hex key to do this. After the set screw is loosened,
simply pull the knob off of the focusing shaft.
2. Remove the focuser's locking thumb screw. This is the chrome,
knurled thumb screw that locks the focuser drawtube in place
(see Figure 2).
3. Position the focuser horizontally, as shown in Figure 3.
4. Remove the four Phillips head screws from the focusing shaft
cover plate. Use your thumb to maintain downward pressure
on the cover plate so it does not fall off when the screws are
removed (Figure 3). If the focuser drawtube rotates, that is OK.

When removing the Phillips head screws, use your thumb
to apply downward pressure on the focusing shaft cover plate; this
prevents the cover plate (and focusing shaft) from falling off the focuser.
