Handbook for the <strong>SXVR</strong>-<strong>M26C</strong> Issue 1 March 2010<br />
The <strong>SXVR</strong>-<strong>M26C</strong> is provided with two ports for use with accessories. The<br />
Autoguider output port is a 6 way RJ11 socket, which is compatible with the standard<br />
autoguider input of most telescope mounts. It provides 4 active-low opto-isolator<br />
outputs and a common return line, capable of sinking a minimum of 5mA per output.<br />
This socket may be used for telescope control if the <strong>SXVR</strong>-<strong>M26C</strong> is employed as an<br />
autoguider, but is primarily intended to be the control output for the optional add-on<br />
autoguider camera head, available for use with the <strong>SXVR</strong>-<strong>M26C</strong>.<br />
The high density parallel port socket provides both control and power for the add-on<br />
autoguider, but also includes a pair of serial ports for use with other devices.<br />

Camera maintenance:<br />
Very little maintenance is needed to keep the <strong>SXVR</strong>-<strong>M26C</strong> in excellent operating<br />
order, however two problems, which are common to all CCD equipment, might show<br />
up on occasion. These are dust and condensation.<br />
