Mode of operation
A 10Micron mount can be switched on and off remotely via this external switch modu-
le (OMS – Observation Management System Nano). For this, the 3-pin stereo jack EXT
SWITCH
1
is connected in parallel with its two front contacts (stereo left and right, wit-
hout ground) to the ON / OFF switch
2
. This is a rocker switch that is only active for the
duration the rocker switch is pressed (one to three seconds).
The switch box must perform the same function as the rocker switch. It must close
the contact for one to three seconds, but not continuously.
Connecting the Switch
• Switch off the mount manually at the control box by using the ON/OFF switch
2
.
• Wait for the red LED
3
to turn off. This can take up to 30s.
• Disconnect the mount from the power supply (pull the plug).
• Plug the jack plug of the switch module into the jack socket EXT. SWITCH
1
of the control box.
• Connect the supplied power supply unit to the switch module.
• Connect the LAN port of the switch module to your network, e.g. a switch, or
directly to your computer using the network cable.
•
Optional:
Connect the switch module to your computer using the USB cable in
order to configure the network settings of the switch module or to import firmware
updates. For normal operation, you only need a connection via the network cable.
• Reconnect the power supply to the mount.
Note:
The rocker switch on the control box of the mount is out of operation after
plugging in the jack plug of the switching module. If you unplug the connection
cable from the 10Micron control box, it will power up/shut down. This makes a
manual operation possible.
