4. HAZ Mount Operation

4.1. Turn the Mount Power On and GO

Assemble your HAZ mount according to Section 3. Attach an OTA and accessories. An HAZ is operated under unbalanced condition and could be tipped off if tripod is not secured. Make sure the mount is leveled.

Just flip the power switch ON and wait! The mount will ask if you want to run the Assistant Alignment Wizard. Press ENTER to start or press BACK to perform manual operation.

The assistant alignment will determine and register the Zero Position of the mount, i.e. the azimuth is aligned to the South and the altitude to the Zenith. The mount is equipped with a magnetic sensor, an altitude zero position sensor and a GPS. During Assist Alignment Wizard, the mount will

1. Slew 360 degree in azimuth to register the South;
2. Find altitude zero position, in which the telescope will point to Zenith;
3. Pick up the GPS signal during the process and update the GPS coordinates and proceed to next step.
   Note: The date and time displayed on the hand controller may differ from your local time. Just ignore it if the mount goes to next step without manual adjustment. You can change it later.
4. GO TO a bright star for a Star Calibration. Follow the instruction on the hand controller screen to confirm the bright star. If the star displayed is blocked by a tree or building, just press the BACK button to go to next one.
   Note: The centering procedure consists of two steps: first to center in azimuth to correct South pointing error, the center the star in altitude and azimuth to correct the zero position.

Warning: The Sun will be the only alignment object during day time. Please make sure your scope has a proper solar observation gear installed.

In the event that the mount can't pick up the GPS signal, it will stay on an information screen to ask you to check the settings. You may wait a few more minutes to wait the GPS picking up the signal. Otherwise, you can adjust the UTC offset, DST and Date and Time manually (refer to next Section). Make sure all they are entered correctly before press ENTER.

Now you can use "Select and Slew" to go to any objects!

4.2. Go to a Celestial Object

Press MENU on the hand controller and select "Select and Slew". Select a category, such as "Named Star", and then select a star of interest, and press ENTER. The telescope will slew to the object and automatically start tracking. If the target is not centered in your eyepiece, use "Sync to Target" to improve the performance. Press MENU => "Sync to Target" and enter the star you are observing. Use the arrow keys (▶, ◀, ▼, and ▲) to center it, press a number key to change the star moving speed.

4.3. Set Up the Mount Manually

In the event that the mount does not perform well for assistant align wizard and/or star calibration, or you would like to set up the mount quickly, you may do the following:

1. Assemble the tripod and install the mount onto the tripod;
2. Level the mount (always important);

3. Attach OTA and accessories;

4. Turn on the mount. Press BACK button to skip the Assist Alignment Wizard when the HC asks;

5. Press number 9 button to change the slew speed to MAX;
6. Slew the mount in azimuth to double check the leveling;
7. Slew the mount in AZI so that the "iOptron HAZ31" to the south. If the user is behind the mount and face to south, telescope should on the right-hand side of the mount and to the zenith;
8. Press MENU => "Zero Position" => "Set Zero Position" => ENTER to set the current position as zero Position;
9. Press MENU="Settings" => "Set Time and Site" to set the coordinates, Daylight Saving Time (Y/N), UTC, as well as current time and location info. Then press ENTER.
10. Do a Star Alignment, or "Select and Slew" followed by "Sync to Target" to align the mount.
11. Now happy GOTO!

4.4. Manual Operation of the Mount

You may test the mount or observe astronomical objects using the arrow keys of a Go2Nova ^® hand controller.

Flip the I/O switch on the telescope mount to turn on the mount. Use ▶,◀,▼ or ▲ buttons to point the telescope to the desired object. Use the number keys to change the slewing speed. Then press 0 button to start tracking. Press 0 button again to stop the tracking.

4.5. Star Identifying Function

The 8409 hand controller has a star identifying function. After Polar Alignment and Set Up Time and Site, slew the telescope to an bright star, manually or using GOTO. Press ? button to identify the star name telescope is pointing to, as well as nearby bright stars if there are any.

4.6. Turn Off the Mount

When you have finished your observation, simply turn the mount power off and disassemble the mount and tripod.

If the mount is set up on a pier or inside an observatory, it is recommended that you return the mount to the Zero Position or park the telescope. This will ensure that there is no need for you to perform the initial setup again when you power on the mount subsequently, so long as the mount has not been moved from the parked position.

5. Complete Functions of Go2Nova ^® 8409 Hand Controller

Follow the screen to perform the sync. Using this function will re-calibrate the computer to the selected object. Multiple syncs can be performed if needed. This operation is most useful to find a faint star or nebula near a bright star.

"Sync to Target" will only work after "Select and Slew" is performed. You can change the slewing speed to make the centering procedure easier. Simply press a number (1 through 9) to change the speed. The default slew speed is 64X.

"Sync to Target" will improve the local GOTO accuracy around the synced star.

5.3. Settings

5.3.1. Set Time and Site

The HAZ mount is equipped with a GPS receiver which will receive the time, longitude and latitude information for your current location from satellites after a link is established. However, there are still some parameters which need to be entered to reflect your location, such as time zone information and whether daylight saving time is currently in effect. This information will be stored in the hand controller memory along with longitude and latitude coordinates until they need to be updated.

NOTE: you don't need to do anything if the mount is in an automatic mode, even the time zone is wrong.

A clear sky and open space outside is needed for the GPS to establish a link with the satellites. The GPS is installed on the top of the main board under main control board cover.

To adjust minutes, move the cursor to each digit and use the number keys to input the number directly. Use ▲ or ▼ key to toggle between “+” and “-”. When the time information entered is correct, press ENTER and go back to the previous screen. Note that fractional time zones can be entered.

Do not manually add or subtract an hour from displayed time to reflect Daylight Saving Time (DST). Instead please select "Y" for DST when daylight saving time begins.

For other parts of the world you can find your "time zone" information from internet.

Set Observation Site Coordinate

The third and fourth lines display the longitude and latitude coordinates, respectively. The longitude and latitude coordinates will be automatically updated when the GPS picks up satellite signals. "W/E" means western/eastern hemisphere; "N/S" means northern/southern hemisphere; "d" means degree; "m" means minute; and "s" means second.

Press ◀ or ▶ key to move the cursor and using ▲ or ▼ key to toggle between "W" and "E", "N" and "S", using number key to change the numbers. It is always a good idea to do your home work to get the GPS coordinates before traveling to a new observation site.

The site coordinates information can be found from your smart phone, GPS receiver or via the internet. Site information in decimal format can be converted into d:m:s format by multiplying the decimal numbers by 60. For example, N47.53 can be changed to N47°31'48": 47.53° = 47° +0.53°, 0.53°=0.53x60'=31.8', 0.8'=0.8x60"=48". Therefore, 47.53°=47°31'48" or 47d31m48s.

Enter Time and Site Info by Sync with your SmartPhone

When iOptron Commander Lite is in action (WiFi version ASCOM, or iOS/Android App), one may easily import the GPS info from a smartphone into the mount/hand controller. There is no worry about

lacking internet, WiFi, or cell phone signals in rural areas; Commander Lite can always get GPS info from a smartphone to the HAZ mount/hand controller, no dead corner. Please refer to iOptron Commander Lite for more details (https://www.ioptron.com/v/ASCOM/iOptronCommanderLiteAppNote.pdf).

Figure 22. Sync Time and Site info from iOptron Commander Lite to the HAZ mount

Select N/S Hemisphere

The northern/southern hemisphere will be determined by your latitude coordinate.

Check Hand Controller Battery

The hand controller has a real time clock (RTC) which should display the correct time every time the mount is turned on. If the time is incorrect, please check the battery inside the hand controller and replace it if needed.

The other information, such as Long, Lat, UTC, DST, is stored inside the hand controller's memory chip and will not be lost after mount power off. If you are not traveling to another observation site, they do not need to be changed.

5.3.2. Set Beep

The Hand Controller allows a user to turn off the beep partially, or even go to a silent mode. To change this setting press MENU => "Settings" => "Set Beep",

Set Up Time and Site

This function will help the mount to slew properly under low temperature or extreme payload condition (extra long or large diameter scope). Press MENU => "Settings" => "Set Maximum Slew Rate." You can select one of three slew rates. The default is MAX.

5.3.5. Set Parking Position

You may park the telescope before powering off the mount. This is very useful if the mount is on a permanent pier or the mount will not be moved in between observation sessions. The mount will keep all the alignment info and reference points.

There are five parking positions. Two positions that park the scope horizontally (Horizon Position). Two positions that park the scope vertically (Zenith Position). "Current Position" will park the scope at its current position. When the mount is turned on, it will use the last parking position setting as the default setting.

5.3.6. Set Tracking Rate

You can set up the mount tracking rate by selecting "Set Tracking Rate". Then the user can select "Automatic Rate" to let the mount choose a proper Solar/Luna/Sidereal tracking rate based on the GOTO target. The "User defined speed" can be adjusted from 0.9900X to 1.0100X of sidereal.

5.3.7. Set Altitude Limit

This function allows the mount to keep tracking an object even if it is below the horizon but can still be seen, for example from an elevated observation site, such as a hill. The range can be set from -89^ to +89^ . The default limit is 00^ . Be careful when setting this limit. It may cause mount GOTO problems.

5.3.8. Wi-Fi Option

This function will display WI-FI module functions. It is useful when connect the mount via wireless connection.

Click on Restart will restart the Wi-Fi adapter and Restore to Factory to restore the factory settings.

5.3.9. GPS Status

Display GPS status. OK indicates a GPS is connected to the satellites. ON indicates a GPS is working but not connected to the satellites. OFF indicates a GPS module is not installed or malfunctioning.

Please do not leaving the hand controller on this submenu while GPS is trying to connect to the satellites.

5.3.10. Language

Select one of supported menu languages. Currently it has English and Chinese.

5.4. Edit User Objects

Besides various star lists available in the hand controller, you can add, edit or delete your own user-defined objects. This is especially useful for newly found comets. You can also add your favorite observation object into the user object list for easy sky surfing. Up to 60 comets and other user objects can be stored.

5.4.1. Enter a New Comet

Press MENU => "Edit User Objects" to set user objects.

IOPTRON TWO YEAR TELESCOPE, MOUNT, AND CONTROLLER WARRANTY

A. iOptron warrants your telescope, mount, or controller to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for two years. iOptron will repair or replace such product or part which, upon inspection by iOptron, is found to be defective in materials or workmanship. As a condition to the obligation of iOptron to repair or replace such product, the product must be returned to iOptron together with proof-of-purchase satisfactory to iOptron.

B. The Proper Return Merchant Authorization Number must be obtained from iOptron in advance of return. Contact iOptron at [e-mail] to receive the RMA number to be displayed on the outside of your shipping container.

All returns must be accompanied by a written statement stating the name, address, and daytime telephone number of the owner, together with a brief description of any claimed defects. Parts or product for which replacement is made shall become the property of iOptron.

The customer shall be responsible for all costs of transportation and insurance, both to and from the factory of iOptron, and shall be required to prepay such costs.

iOptron shall use reasonable efforts to repair or replace any telescope, mount, or controller covered by this warranty within thirty days of receipt. In the event repair or replacement shall require more than thirty days, iOptron shall notify the customer accordingly. iOptron reserves the right to replace any product which has been discontinued from its product line with a new product of comparable value and function.

This warranty shall be void and of no force of effect in the event a covered product has been modified in design or function, or subjected to abuse, misuse, mishandling or unauthorized repair. Further, product malfunction or deterioration due to normal wear is not covered by this warranty.

IOPTRON DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WHETHER OF MERCHANTABILITY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HERE. THE SOLE OBLIGATION OF IOPTRON UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY SHALL BE TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THE COVERED PRODUCT, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS SET FORTH HERE. IOPTRON EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY LOST PROFITS, GENERAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHICH MAY RESULT FROM BREACH OF ANY WARRANTY, OR ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE ANY IOPTRON PRODUCT. ANY WARRANTIES WHICH ARE IMPLIED AND WHICH CANNOT BE DISCLAIMED SHALL BE LIMITED IN DURATION TO A TERM OF TWO YEARS FROM THE DATE OF ORIGINAL RETAIL PURCHASE.

Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages or limitation on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations and exclusions may not apply to you.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.

iOptron reserves the right to modify or discontinue, without prior notice to you, any model or style telescope.
