  • Page 4 CAT5 cable must be used rather than a direct connection via Ethernet to the PC. If needed, a longer CAT5 cable can be used to extend the connection between the DE9-to-RJ45 adapter at the PC and the EFA. CDK12.5 EFA Kit Instructions...
  • Page 5 EFA Kit Note that the 12VDC power is attached to the EFA control electronics rather than to the rear of the telescope. Fan control and power are provided via the RJ12 6P6C modular cable from the EFA port to the rear panel of the telescope depending on switch position selection.

  • Page 7 Mounting the Hand Controller The hand control mounting bracket allows the hand control to be mounted to the tele- scope back plate using the included mounting post. Attach the mounting post to the telescope back plate. The telescope has eight ¼-20 threaded holes on the back plate for mounting accessories.
  • Page 8 (600180). Although both focusers can be controlled remotely with the included PWI3 PC software, the hand control is invaluable when initially setting up the spacing and collimation of your CDK telescope. It is also a convenience when doing visual obser- vation with an eyepiece. CDK12.5 EFA Kit Instructions...
  • Page 9 Controlling the Focuser/Rotator With the Hand Control plugged in and the EFA powered on, you can now use the OUT/ IN button to control the travel of the focuser. Likewise, when used in conjunction with the optional IRF90, not only can you control the focus travel, but using the CCW/CW buttons will rotate the focuser counter-clockwise and clockwise respectively.
