Step 1: Installing the Right Ascension Side of the Homing Sensor Cable
The right ascension sensor has four wires colored either white, black, brown and red or brown, red,
orange and yellow. The colors don't matter as much as the placement of the tab. Starting at the
Electronics Box, insert the zip tie with this half of the sensor cable attached up through the hole shown
in Figure 11 and guide the zip tie up to the hole in the RA tube where you pulled it from originally.
The shortest distance, and best practice, is to stay on the side of the right ascension shaft closest to the
hole in the right ascension tube. Gently pull the zip tie and sensor cable up through the mount until the
sensor cable can be plugged in. Remove the zip tie and plug in to the homing sensor. Remember, the
long tab on the connector goes on the right side.
You can now replace the right ascension worm block cover.
Be careful to not pinch cables when replacing the cover or tightening screws! Pinched
cables can cause electronic issues or erratic behavior.
Step 2: Installing the Declination Side of the Homing Sensor Cable
The declination sensor also has four wires, colored orange, yellow, green, and blue or green, blue,
purple, grey. Again, the colors don't matter as much as the placement of the tab. As before, attach the
zip tie to the declination sensor cable.
