Thread the R.A. axis adapter into the end of your R.A. axis (if your polar alignment scope is fitted you must remove

this first along with the polar alignment scope adapter). Use moderate hand pressure to tighten the R.A. adapter

since you may need to remove it to install the polar axis telescope at a later time.

If you look into the black encoder housing, you will see the encoder itself mounted at the rear of the housing. When

this installation procedure is complete, the encoder shaft will insert into the center hole of the R.A. axis adapter.

This allows the encoder to read the motion of the R.A. shaft as the right ascension axis moves.

Now thread the R.A. encoder housing onto the R.A. axis housing. You may need to wiggle the encoder housing

gently to engage the shaft of the encoder (located within the R.A. axis housing) with the hole in the center of the

R.A. axis adapter. Tighten the 3 thumbscrews evenly to secure in place.

The hardware for your encoders is now installed. For actual set-up procedures for Micro MAX, Mini MAX or NGC

MAX, digital readouts refer to the relevant operating manual.

Periodic Maintenance

If you remove the R.A. encoder frequently, you may wish to use a very tiny amount of auto grease on the mating threads.
