ASCOM DirectSync SSX35 Installation Manual

#19979 - DirectSync SSX35 for SharpStar Focusers
DirectSync SSX35 Installation
Step-by-Step Instructions for Installing the DirectSync SSX35 Motor
Assembly to your SharpStar/Askar focuser.
The DirectSync SSX35 motor assembly fits
directly in place of the coarse focus knob on
the left side of the Sharpstar 3.4-inch dual-
speed focusers. The right-side coarse and
fine focus knobs are left intact on the focuser
while the DirectSync clutch mechanism
offers easy engagement and disengagement
of the stepper motor for manual focus.
When properly mounted, the DirectSync
SSX35 provides approximately 1 micron per
step resolution and superior repeatability
and load carrying capacity. A digital
temperature sensor is integrated into the
DirectSync motor assembly. Connection to
the observatory or telescope control computer can be made using any standard USB A-B cable. A
separate 12VDC power connection provides sufficient power to vertically lift cameras or instrument
packages exceeding 10 kg. Optec's new ASCOM Alpaca driver and field-proven FocusLynx Commander
software round out the package for complete remote telescope focusing solution.
