Routing Cables through the Paramount ME II
Figure 11: Paramount ME II cross section showing path of cable through the mount.
Routing custom cables through the Paramount ME II is a relatively straightforward procedure.
1.
Remove the two Right Ascension Rear Cover (Figure 20) mounting screws and the cover.
2.
Remove the two Cable Conduit Cover screws (Figure 44) and the cover.
3.
Attach a cable tie to the end of the cable to be installed (Figure 8).
4.
Insert the pointed end of the cable tie into the Right Ascension Cable Conduit and continue
threading the cable upward, through the access hole in the declination axis until the cable tie can
be grasped by hand, or by a flexible wire grabber inserted into the Cable Conduit Access Hole on
the declination axis housing.
5.
Pull the cabling up and into the declination axis.
6.
Thread the cable tie up the declination shaft until it exits the top of the declination shaft. Once
the cable tie can be grasped, continue pulling it outward until the cable itself exits the top of the
axis.
7.
Thread the cable through the Instrument Panel access hole.
