b. If a gap of at least half the thickness of an o-ring exists between the bracket and
flat area, a pair of o-rings is needed between the Focusmate™ assembly and the
torsion-spring.
9. Loosen long screws on pinion cap side and loosely install supplied short screws (black
arrow) on Focusmate™ assembly side. Retighten all screws.
Note: because of the nature of the planetary-ball design, while the fine 6:1 slow motion is
very smooth, the coarse focus may be slightly tighter than before Focusmate™
installation. You may also notice a slight wobble, but this should not affect operation.
Congratulations on installing your Focusmate™!
10. If you have any questions, call Tele Vue (845-469-4551) during business hours.
11. If your Tele Vue telescope has a soft case, you may wish to cut away some interior
foam so the scope can lay flat in the bag.
12. For telescopes with hard cases, consider cutting away interior foam (required for TV-
NP127), or even better, orient the scope so the assembly points upward, nesting in the
foam fingers in the case lid, when closing the top.
Suggestion: Adding the Focusmate™ Driver
(electric motor focusing) to the Focusmate™,
permits the most critical, vibration free
focusing you have ever experienced. See
TeleVue.com or call Tele Vue for more info.
