Which way up on DEC?

[Corpze]

Hi, i have been checking the manual if there is a certain way the DEC axis is supposed to be, USB ports up or down?

Right now, they are pointing up, i want them down, is that even possible?

Hi Daniel,

 

I have a DDM60 Pro but I guess the DDM85 also has a mechanical stop that prevents you from turning the DEC-axis more than 360 degrees. Therefore you can't easily change the orientation of the USB-ports (at least with the DDM60).The only way I can think of is to unscrew the top-part of the Dec-head (that can easily be done with the DDM60 but again I don't know if the same is true for the DDM85) and check whether you can screw it back rotated by 180 degrees. But at least with the DDM60 I think that the internal cabling might not allow you to do that even though the screw-pattern would make it possible.

 

Best regards,

Robert

Yep, there are mechanical stops in the DDM85 as well, I asume i have to wire the USB cables from the top end and down to the "equipment" end. At least i have the power outlet the right way

I'v the USB port up to front end, and the stop is Close to minus 90 Deklination (northern hemisphere)
