The standard control unit supplied with our AZ or EL has “Electronic Limits”, but the LSK-1000 limit switch kit, has been designed as a physical backup system in the event of a control unit failure.
MAINTENANCE INFORMATION 90 day maintenance 1. Visual inspection of complete system, look for rust or corrosion and loose hardware. 2. Manually move each axis individually and LISTEN for smooth operation. 3. Check cables for wear and cracking. 4. Check each axis for physical looseness and or backlash (adjust if necessary). 5.
TROUBLESHOOTING Troubleshooting 1. Motors not moving. A. Check for voltage coming out of control box. B. Check for voltage at motor (AZ / EL=42 VDC). C. Check all wiring from control box to motor. D. Check motor for binding. 2. No pulse from motors. A.
