PART IV: ELECTRONIC CONTROL INTERFACE
Note:
• The SNAP port provides two trigger signals to the stereo plug. Some cameras need both
“Shutter“ and “Focus“ signals.
• For a camera which only needs a shutter-release signal, either trigger signals will work. For
a camera which requires a “Focus” signal ahead of the shutter-release signal, both signals
should be connected properly.
• The camera control cable shipped with the EQ6-R mount is for a Canon EOS series DSLR
camera. Cable for other cameras is optional and can be ordered separately.
• Output Voltage: DC 11V (minimum) to DC 16V (maximum). Voltage not in this range might
cause permanent damage to the motor controller or the hand controller.
• Output Current: 4A for power supply with 11V output voltage, 2.5A for power supply with
16V output voltage.
• Do not use an un-regulated AC-to-DC adapter. Contact a Skywatcher product retailer for a
recommended “AC-DC Adapter for SynScan Goto”, SKU#79024.
• If the power voltage is too low, the motor controller will stop the motors automatically.

controller in the mount has received the worm index signal and started to record
the PE correction. When the intermittent two ashes stops, it means the PPEC
training has nished.
5. Intermittent, three ashes: Sidereal tracking with PEC is now enabled.
