GM4000 HPS GOTO-MOUNT

HPS stands for High Precision and Speed and the mount is an advancement of the known GM 2000 QCI of 10Micron with the same proven mechanics, however, less load-carrying capacity than this - and with it highly transportable

The GM 4000 HPS reaches a Satellite tracking and positioning speed from 5 degrees / sek. with an average positioning accuracy <20" and a tracking accuracy of approx. 1"/15min (peak to peak).

The GM 4000 HPS disposes, in addition, of high-precision Absolut-Encoders on both axes which opens absolutely new possibilities. The mount never loses its orientation, even if one axis is shifted by hand. Also after a power failure no new Alignment is necessary. In the mobile company the mount is quicker and easier to instal and to align than any conventional equatorial mount.

10Micron has modernized the well proven parallactic / equatorial mount. By "Dual Axis Tracking", small errors in the polar axis and other disturbing parameters, such as deflection of the telescope tube, are compensated fully automatically during tracking.

The following image shows a direct size comparison between the GM 2000 HPS and the GM 4000 HPS.

Maximum payload: 150 kg of pure instrument weight (counterweights are to be attached in required number, in addition) Optimum payload: 125 kg of instrument weight (counterweights are to be attached in required number, in addition)

HPS Features

HPS stands for High Precision and Speed and the mount is a further development of the known GM2000 QCI of 10micron with the same proven mechanics but less capacity than this – and thus easier to transport.

MECHANICS

FIRMWARE

  • Powerful firmware featuring advanced mount modeling, with several parameters computation (refraction, optical/mechanical flexures, leap second, mount orientation, object motion, clock synchronization, temperature etc.) and special functions (dual tracking, assisted polar alignment procedure etc.): the only way for perfect unguided tracking during long exposures (up to 0.6" RMS accuracy).
  • Intuitively operated system, proprietary motor controller with temperature compensated clock, onboard industrial grade Linux computer – intelligence built-in.
  • No external PC or laptop mandatory in the field – all functions in the onboard computer can be operated via stand-alone hand control unit (Keypad).
  • Precise multistar pointing model, suitable for applications such as high precision spectroscopy, TLE manager for satellite tracking, orbital parameters management for minor planets and comets, individual observing sessions management and much more.
  • Stable pointing models for safe East/West load reversal – recordable models database for different telescope setups and accessories configuration.
  • Precise and fast polar alignment procedure, managed by the internal software and executable in minutes.
  • Fully remote controlled via your observatory PC through 10/100/1000 LAN or WiFi, thanks to a well documented command protocol and drivers, via custom software or standard planetarium software.
  • Manual-, Automatic- (ClockSync proprietary software) or GPSbased time; leap second support and full computation of the UT1/ UTC timescales.
  • Electronic balance feature.
  • Remote diagnostics web assist option with. dedicated server.

Important note:

  • The Price does not include the counterwights and the power supply unit, these must be ordered in addition.
    To avoid loss of warranty, only power supplies approved by us from our price list may be used.
  • When purchasing a 10Micron mount, the heavy transport box #1453100 is mandatory.
