STOP!!! Carefully read this Guide BEFORE setting up and using the equipment!

Worm/gear damages due to improper uses are not covered by warranty.

WARNING: Never disengage Gear Switches without holding the mount firmly! Fail to do so

may result in personal injuries and/or equipment damages.

1. Remove mount head from package: The RA axle is

locked by an Allen wrench. Make sure it is inserted all

the way in. Check the R.A. Gear Switch and turn it to

unlocking position before removing it from the box.

2. Attach the mount: The mount has a 152mm base,

which can be mounted onto an iOptron tri-pier,

LiteRoc tripod, or your own tripod/pier with two M8

threaded mounting holes separated 130mm in

diameter

Hold mount head while remove the Allen wrench

from the RA yoke. Turn the RA gear switch to locking

position to prevent RA free swing.

Two mounting screws are installed on the base.

Rotate the mount to align the screws to the tripod

mounting holes. Insert the wrench into the holes on

the base where azimuth locking screws are located.

Store the wrench inside the base. The wrench size is

6mm.

Level the mount by adjusting the tripod legs. Use the

build-in Bubble Level Indicator or an external level for

this purpose.

3. Adjust latitude: Without any payload, loosen the

Latitude Locking Clamps about a quarter (1/4) turn

with the Allen wrench.

Turn the Latitude Adjustment Knob until the arrow

points to your current latitude on the Latitude Scale.

There are fine scales on the Knob, as shown in the

photo. Tighten the Latitude Locking Clamps when

done.

iOptron Corp. | 6E Gill Street | Woburn, MA 01801 USA | (781) 569-0200 | www.iOptron.com

4. Install counterweight (CW) shaft: The CW shaft

system is a two part configuration. It comes with

preinstalled top part of the shaft. Just simply thread

the CW shaft onto it.

[TIP: If you latitudes is lower than 10°, please refer to

the full online manual to adjust the counterweight

shaft position to avoid CW bumping into tripod leg.]

5. Install counterweight(s): Before putting on CW,

make sure the mount is at its zero position, i.e., CW

shaft points to the ground. Disengage the R.A. Gear

Switch to set the R.A. axis free before loading the

CW. Remove the CW Safety Cap at the end of CW

Shaft. Glide the CW over the shaft with the larger

hole opening facing down. Place the Safety Cap back

onto the shaft. Move the CW to the bottom of the

shaft and tighten the CW locking Screw.

You may need more CW for heavier payloads, or a

smaller CW for lighter scopes.

6. Install telescope: CEM70 is equipped with a

Vixen/Losmandy-D dual saddle. It can receive either a

Vixen or a Losmandy-D plate. Release the dovetail

saddle locking knobs and slide the telescope dovetail

plate into the saddle. Tighten the saddle locking

knobs.

7. Balancing the payload: After attaching the scope and

accessories, the mount head assembly must be

balanced in both DEC and RA axes to ensure

minimum stresses on the mount driving mechanism.

CAUTION: The telescope may swing freely when the

R.A. or DEC Gear Switch is disengaged. Always hold

on to the mount and/or telescope assembly before

releasing the Gear Switches to prevent it from

swinging, which can cause personal injuries and/or

equipment damages.

Set the mount at Zero Position. Disengage both RA

and DEC gear switches and move the mount to

horizontal position to check balance. Return to Zero

Position for balance adjustment. Balance the DEC axis

by moving the scope with accessories back and forth

in the mount saddle or within the scope mounting

rings. Balance the assembly in R.A. axis by moving

CW along its shaft. Repeat the process until both DEC

and RA axes are balanced.

CAUTION: The balancing process MUST be done with

Gear Switch at the total disengaged position!

Otherwise it might damage the worm system.

Return the mount to Zero Position after balancing

and engage gear switches.

8. Connecting cables: Plug in a 12V DC power supply to

the DC12V power socket (size 5.5mm/2.5mm).

Connect the Go2Nova®8407 Hand Controller to the

HBX port on the mount base panel.

iOptron Corp. | 6E Gill Street | Woburn, MA 01801 USA | (781) 569-0200 | www.iOptron.com

For a CEM70G mount, connect USB3.0 port on mount

base (shown in photo here) to a computer for

computer control, iPolar, iGuider and 3X USB port

hub connection.

For a CEM70 mount, Connect USB2.0 port on mount

base to a computer for computer controller and 3X

USB2.0 port hub connection. CEM70 does not have a

built-in WIFI.

Refer to the full User’s Manual on how to use the

cable management system.

9. Polar alignment: CEM70 & CEM70G are equipped

with an iPolarTM electronic polar scope. To perform

polar alignment, please refer to CEM70 User’s

Manual, or iPolar Operation Manual from iOptron’s

website, or follow steps briefly outlined below:

Download and install iPolar Software (first

time use);

Connect a USB cable between the iPolar port

on the mount (CEM70);

or USB3.0 port (CEM70G) and a computer

USB port;

Run iPolar Software and start polar alignment

by following on screen instructions.

For the mount without polar scope, please refer to

full manual for Bright Star Alignment, or use

software to assist alignment.

For the mount with an optional AccuAlignTM optical

polar scope, please refer to full manual for Quick

Polar Alignment.

10. Manual operation: The mount can now be used to

observe astronomical objects with the HC. Use arrow

keys (►, ◄, ▼,and ▲) to point the telescope to

desired objects. Use the number keys to change the

slewing speed. Press the STOP/0 button to start or

stop tracking.

11. Set controller: Press the MENU button; then Settings

=> Set Time and Site.

Before GPS picks up signals (before displaying GPS

OK), check for Daylight Saving Time using arrow key

to toggle between Yand N. Enter the time zone

offset to the UTC; for examples:

Boston is “UTC -300 minutes”

Los Angeles is “UTC -480 minutes”

Rome is “UTC +060 minutes”

Sydney is “UTC +600 minutes”

Waiting for the mount to pick up the GPS (you’ll hear

beep). If the GPS is “OK’d” during setup, just power

cycle the mount. Double check the HC display and it

should show correct local time.

[TIPS: All time zones in N. America are “UTC -XXX

minutes”. Latitude and longitude coordinates can be

obtained from GPS-equipped devices (navigator,

phone), or from internet and entered manually, in

case GPS cannot receive enough satellites signals

(unplug the GPS module) or GPS malfunctions. “W/E”

= western/eastern hemisphere; “N/S” =

northern/southern hemisphere. Use arrow and

number keys to enter location and time information.]

12. Set Zero Position: The Set Zero Position command

registers the current position as zero position. So

iOptron Corp. | 6E Gill Street | Woburn, MA 01801 USA | (781) 569-0200 | www.iOptron.com

before registering, the mount should be physically set

at Zero Position either manually or slewed by hand

controller. The Zero Position is defined as the

telescope being on top of the mount head and

pointing to North Pole, with CW shaft pointing to the

ground. To register, press MENU => Zero Position =>

Set Zero Position. Press ENTER to confirm. One can

also use MENU => Zero Position => Search Zero

Position to set the Zero Position.

13. One Star Alignment: Perform One Star Align to

correct the Zero Position discrepancy and improve

GOTO accuracy. Refer to User’s Manual for more

details about improving GOTO accuracy.

14. Go to an object: The mount is now ready for GOTO

and tracking targets. Press MENU, select and ENTER

Select and Slew. Select a category (e.g., Solar

System), then select an object of interest (e.g.,

Moon). Press ENTER and the telescope will slew to

the object and automatically start tracking.

15. Sync to target: If the object is not in the center of the

eyepiece, use this function to center and synchronize

the object to improve local GOTO accuracy. Press

MENU and select and ENTER Sync to Target. Follow

the on-screen instruction to perform the sync.

[TIP: After slewing to an object, a list of nearby bright

object(s) can be displayed by pressing the ?button.]

16. Computer connection and autoguiding: Please refer

to CEM70 product page for mount computer control.

17. Put the mount back into the package/carrying case:

It is recommended to return the mount to Zero

Position at the end of the observing session. Lay the

mount into the carrying case. Disengage the gear

system for transportation and insert the Allen wrench

into RA yoke to lock the RA axis.
