2.
Remove the two Cable Conduit Cover screws (Figure 47) 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 gap between the Versa-Plate and gear. There are two 4-40 threaded
holes on the instrument panel that can be used to create a strain relief for cables ran.
8.
Unlike the Paramount ME II, Paramount MX and Paramount MX+, there is no need for a loop
around the declination shaft. The shafts have been re-designed so the cables have a more
straightforward path to the instrument panel.
Note that this procedure can be performed with a telescope in place.
