  • I find it convenient to test LX200 components outside the telescope on a bench where access is much easier. Refer to the Fig 1 to Fig 5 for a complete visualization of the setup. I use a static control pad on my bench to ensure the electronics are protected. Do not set up the components on metal. The minimal system is shown in Fig 1 and consists of: • Main Board • Power Panel with 34 Conductor Ribbon Cable • Hand Controller with cable • RA Motor

Telescope Service Meade LX200 “Classic” Telescopes Procedures for Removal and Installation of Printed Circuit Board And Motor Assemblies STATIC ELECTRICITY HAZARD AND PREVENTION Static electricity can easily damage the electronics of your telescope. Great care should be observed in the handling of the electronics to prevent damage. Note that it is very easy to generate several thousand volts of static electricity on plastic surfaces just by handling them. This includes plastic bags, bubble wrap, styrafoam packing materials, as well as indoor carpet. Take the following precautions: • Work on metal or wooden surfaces. • DO NOT work in an area with a rug on the floor. • Be sure to discharge yourself by touching the metal of the telescope BEFORE handling the electronics. • DO NOT put the printed circuit board in a plastic bag unless you have the type designed for holding electronics (conductive plastic bags). • DO wrap the printed circuit board in aluminum foil before packing it in a box if you don’t have a conductive plastic bag.

  • WARNING! Never use the LX200 telescope to look at the Sun! Looking at or near the Sun will cause instant and irreversible damage to your eye. Eye damage is often painless, so there is no warning to the observer that damage has occurred until it is too late. Do not point the telescope or its viewfinder at or near the Sun. Do not look through the telescope or its viewfinder as it is moving. Children Fig. 1: Meade 16
