FocusLynx FT QuickSync Installation
Step-by-Step Instructions for Installing the QuickSync FT Motor
Assembly to your FeatherTouch Focuser.
The QuickSync motor assembly fits directly in place of the coarse and fine focus knobs on the right side
of the FeatherTouch manual
focusers. The gold knob on the
QuickSync will attach to the smaller
diameter shaft of the pinion
assembly and allow fine manual
focus when the motor is disengaged.
Coarse manual focus can usually be
accomplished by disengaging the
motor and adjusting the black focus
knob on the opposite side of the
focuser.
