Slew Rate Adjustment Based On Temperature
The Paramount’s slew rate is automatically lowered when the ambient temperature drops below this
value. (Lowering the slew rate provides more torque to the servomotors. This additional torque can
minimize potential motor stalls from increased frictional forces at colder temperatures.)

Click
Slew Rate Adjustment Based On Temperature
on the right side of the
Utilities
tab to change the
maximum slew rate and the temperature below which this slew rate is applied.
When the Temperature Is Below (C)
Enter the temperature, in degrees Celsius, below which the maximum slew rate of the mount will be
reduced.
Apply (Percentage of Slew Rate)
Enter the percentage of the maximum slew rate to apply at lower temperatures.
Suppose the slew rate is set at 2 degrees per second for “normal operating temperatures”. Then, based
on the values in Figure 83, when the temperature drops below 0C the slew rate is set to 60 percent of 2
degrees per second, or 1.2 degrees per second.
Current Slew Rate Percentage
This text shows the current temperature-adjusted slew rate percentage. A value of 100 percent means
the temperature inside the mount is above the
When the Temperature Is Below
value.
