10Micron by COMEC technology – GM1000HPS Mount
The Control Unit
When the mount is parked, it will slew to a position called the “park position”. By
default, the park position has the telescope pointing at the celestial pole, with the
counterweight bar in the lowest position (Fig. 5.12). The default park position can
be unpractical, because the telescope can be too high to reach. Up to three custom
positions can be defined by the user. To define a parking position, move the
telescope to the desired position using the direction keys on the keypad, then
select MENU – Alignment – Park position – Set custom pos.
1/2/3. When ENTER is pressed, the position of the telescope is stored in the
mount memory.
Fig. 5.12: Default park position.
To choose what to do when the mount is parked, select one of the following in
MENU – Alignment – Park position:
–
Stops only – when parked, the mount stops in the current position
–
Default park – when parked, the mount slews to the default park
position.
–
Custom park 1/2/3 – when parked, the mount slews to the custom
position 1/2/3
The selected park position is marked with a star.

Switching off the Mount
The mount can be switched off in every moment, provided that no slew is
underway (in this case, an abrupt stop can happen). It is not required that the
mount is parked or put in a specific position.
To shut off the mount, operate on the power switch on the control box. The red
power led will remain lighted for approximately 10 to 15 seconds; only when the
led is off the power supply may be switched off.
You can shut off the mount also using the function MENU – Settings –
Shutdown.
