SERVO MOTOR DRIVE

The Servo Motor Drive system on the Mach1GTO uses the same motors, the same GTOCP3 control box and the same keypad

as its bigger siblings, the 900GTO and 1200GTO. The gear train is just as heavy-duty, and the worm gears are massive and

incredibly precise. This is an extremely robust system for a mount of this size, but since the focus of the Mach1GTO’s design

was on the serious observer and imager, we felt that it was well worth it.

GTO Control Box – GTOCP3

The GTO control box contains all of the circuitry to drive the two servo motors and the logic required to navigate the sky. It

will be operational and track at the sidereal rate when connected to both motors of the mount and a power source. In order

to control the movement of the mount, you will need to connect at least one of these:

• GTO Keypad.

• Computer with PulseGuide by

Sirius Imaging. The CD for this

program is included with the

mount. For the most updated

version of the software, check out

the website

www.pulseguide.com.

• Computer with a planetarium

program such as Software

Bisque’s TheSky™, Imaginova’s

Starry Night™, Nova

Astronomics’ The Earth-Centered

Universe (ECU) version 3.1 or

later, and Chris Marriot’s Sky Map

Pro 6 or any ASCOM compatible

telescope software (all purchased

separately).

The Mach1GTO’s GTO Servo Control

Box comes with a Control Box Adapter

for direct mounting on your pier or

tripod as well as handy pouch for

hanging from a knob on the base of

your Mach1GTO mount. Please

remember that this box contains

advanced electronics and must be

treated with the same care given to

other fine equipment. You can see that

the unit is built to be rugged, however

it is not indestructible.

Lead-Free Electronics

Starting in 2006, we began phasing in lead-free electronics for all of our mounts. In the first phase, all GTO mounts (and

other electronics) shipped to customers in the European Union were built with lead-free electronic components due to RoHS

regulations that went into effect on July 1, 2006. As of mid 2007, all of our electronics adhere to this safer and more

environmentally responsible standard. All functions and capabilities of the Servo System were maintained with the lead-free

components.

R.A. and Dec. Cable Connections

A “Y” cable with 10-pin connectors is included with your mount. Attach the connector from which the two cables emerge to

the GTO Control Panel. Attach the short part of the “Y” cable to the R.A. motor housing and the long part of the cable to the

Dec motor housing. Lock all connectors. Refer to the section above for further information about positioning the cables.

12V Connector

Place the DC power cord (included with your mount) into the DC power plug outlet marked 12V on the GTO Control Panel

and lock in place. Plug the cigarette lighter plug end of the cord into your power source. The acceptable voltage range is 11.5
