AZ/EL JUNCTION BLOCK CONNECTIONS

The pictures on this page shows the standard wiring in the junction boxes (with switch reversing diodes) & 7 pin

female right angle connector assembly. The system works the following way: Current is constant through the limit

switches and through to the positioner. When the limit switch is activated, it breaks the contact and stops the cur-

rent from continuing. Reversing the positioner in the opposite direction, incorporates directional diodes. Because

this is a standard wiring system, there may be variations to this system that may be changed by your specific ori-

entation of each Axis.
