fiber optic cables as straight as possible from the connector to the
protective sheath.

Using the Model 2090 Position Controller (or hand controller),
rotate the motor base shaft to verify proper operation. Run the
motorbase down to the lower limit CCW and then back it off from
the lower limit just a bit. The previous step will help when it is
time to set the rotation limits for the turntable.

CAUTION The soft rotational limits in the Model 2090 controller
must be set. Ensure the travel limit settings will not cause damage
to user installed cables and equipment mounted on the table.

SETTING TRAVEL LIMITS


The mechanical limits of the turntable are located at the center of
the turntable within the main bearing. The limit adjustment knobs
are accessible through the center hole of the turntable’s top. A
label has been placed on the encoder/limit assembly to describe the
limit adjustments.

CAUTION Keep all body parts away from the drive pinion when
the turntable is energized.


1. To increase the amount of travel in either direction turn the

knob in the direction indicated by the positive (+) sign.

2. To decrease the amount of travel in either direction you must

turn the knob in the minus (-) direction as indicated.

WARNING Ensure the current travel limit settings will not cause
damage to existing cables and equipment located underneath or on
top of the turntable.


3. To allow for continuous rotation, the encoder/limit assembly

must be configured to disengage the limit mechanism. To
access the limit mechanism, remove the adjustment knobs.

4. Each knob has two Allen-type set screws. Remove the four

screws at the base of the cover and lift the cover off.
