Step 7
Roll the motor cover up to engage the motor assembly. Ensure the engagement is tight for best
performance.
Step 8
Connect the Cat-5e Ethernet cable into the RJ45 socket on the end of the motor housing and connect
the other end to the FocusLynx control hub using either the Focuser 1 or Focuser 2 port.
FocusLynx Software Setup
Your QuickSync FT motor is now installed. Consult the
FocusLynx Quick Start Guide
to install the
FocusLynx Commander software. Once installed, you will need to configure the FocusLynx Commander
for your new QuickSync FT motor. Configuration in FocusLynx Commander will also configure the
ASCOM driver.
FocusLynx Commander Focuser Type selection
Select the
FocusLynx FT Hi-Speed
Focuser Type option first. If you find the pinion assembly is slipping
try the
FocusLynx Hi-Torque
setting. With stepper motors, speed and torque typically work inversely.
That is, higher speeds will usually result in lower torque. If you find your pinion assembly continually
slips contact Optec support (
). You may need to slightly tighten the internal
tension nut inside the pinion assembly.
