The mount/tripod falls over due to the unbalance.
-
The problem may be because the center of mass of the total system changes as the mount
rotates and cause unbalance in weight distribution. If the center of mass is near the outer
edge of the total system, the system may fall over with a very small additional force. Use the
tripod that can extend the legs as wide as possible or use a heavier one.
Can it be used in the southern hemisphere sky?

GoTo is not precise
1.
Check whether the target star is precisely synced
2.
Check polar alignment
3.
Check if there is an error message displayed on the TCS.
4.
The gear ratio was incorrectly set at the initial setting
The telescope moves in the wrong direction when slewing or GoTo.
1.
Check the date/time settings.
2.
Check the observatory location setting in the menu.
3.
The telescope and the target star both must be above the horizon while synchronizing.
4.
Check if there is an error message displayed on the TCS.
5.
If the problem persists, contact HOBYM Observatory.
When operating at the highest speed, there is a motor sound, but the mount does not move (The
motor stalled).
1.
The motor stalled due to the mechanical overload caused by a temperature drop
2.
Low input voltage
3.
There is too much weight unbalance. Maintain the weight balance while operating.
4.
Check the Acceleration setting [Acc. Rate]. When the Acc. Rate is set too high, the
operational load increases. Lower the maximum speed and acceleration setting.
GoTo takes too much time.
For accurate pointing, it slows down near the target point.
1.
Check the current coordinate values from OLED.
2.
Check whether the speed volume is at or near parking.
3.
Check the maximum speed setting.
Bad connection with the simulation programs.
-
When connecting with a serial port, make sure to use an RS-232 cable dedicated to Titan
TCS.
The RS-232 cable used by TCS is not a standard cable, and the pin connections are different
for each manufacturer. Be extremely careful.
-
Even if the connectors are the same shape, never use unidentified serial cables. There is a
potential for permanent damage to the TCS or PC.
1.
Check the serial communication speed for TCS.
The default baud rate is 115,200 bps. You can change the baud rate to suit your needs in
the [System] menu.
You can check the communication speed at [Help]-[Serial BPS]
