AYO VAMO Traveler: Encoders Installation

Please make sure that you have all the parts included in the kit:

Encoder resolution: 311296 steps

Current consumption: 20 mA each

This instruction booklet shows the installation procedure for the azimuth encoder. The

installation procedure for the second encoder is identical.

Tools required:

Allen key (supplied)

Do not subject encoder disks to magnetic fields as it may affect the

magnetization of the magnetic multi-pole rings.

Page 2 Azimuth encoder installation You will need the following parts for the first step: Please use the azimuth encoder disk from the bag containing the azimuth encoder parts and insert it into the azimuth hollow shaft: Copyright © 2018, Astro Devices. All rights reserved.
Page 6 Clean the surface of the mount with an alcohol wipe, dry it and put install the reader pushing it against the tightening clamp: The gap between the reader sensor and the magnetic ring should be between 0.4 and 0.8mm: Copyright © 2018, Astro Devices. All rights reserved.
Page 8 The installation is now complete: Now connect the encoder cable - it is best to fix the encoder cable with cable ties supplied to avoid putting any force on the encoder readers during operating the mount with a DSC. The installation is now complete. Set the encoder steps in your DSC to 311296 steps for both the altitude encoder and the azimuth encoder. Copyright © 2018, Astro Devices. All rights reserved.
