encoder connector board that should be already installed on the base’s left side panel. The cable should plug into the jack on the left side of the encoder connector board (see Figure 5).

4)Connect one end of the altitude encoder cable to the modular jack on the altitude encoder assembly. Connect the other end of the cable to the jack on the right side of the encoder connector board (see Figure 5).

5)Use the provided wire clips to secure the altitude and azimuth cables neatly to the base. We recommend using two clips for the (shorter) azimuth cable, and four clips for the (longer) altitude cable (Figure 5a.). The clips have adhesive backing; simply peel the paper off the back of the clip and press the adhesive back to the base where you want the clip to be located.

6)Place the telescope optical tube into the base. Be very careful not to hit the altitude encoder with the side bearing on the tube when doing this or damage to the encoder could result. The bumper helps to prevent such contact.

7)Reinstall the telescope’s tensioning knob (the one with the Teflon and metal washers) through the base’s left side panel (the side that has the IntelliScope Computerized Controller Port label) and into the threaded hole in the center of the tube’s side bearing.

8)Reinstall the telescope’s retaining knob, without its black nylon bushing, through the altitude encoder’s aluminum shaft (now protruding from the right side panel) and into the tube’s side bearing (Figure 6). Make sure this knob is fully tightened.

9)Insert one end of the coil cable into the larger of the two jacks on the top of the IntelliScope controller (Figure 1). Insert the other end into the “IntelliScope Computerized Controller Port” on the left side of the Dobsonian base.

10)Two hook-and-loop strips (one strip of “hooks” and one strip of “loops”) have been provided to hang the IntelliScope controller in a convenient location on the base when not in use. Place the “hooks” strip on the
