michael8554 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Skywatcher recommend a 3 Amp power supply. A 1 Amp power supply will be over loaded when you slew. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erikkk Posted April 27, 2020 Author Share Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) He thanks for your reaction This problem is also there when its powered by the 12 v carplug. So i also have to go to the garage to fix my car. Well that's Nice. Haha.

michael8554 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Is there a power LED on the mount and does it go out just before the handset resets ? That would be intermittent contact of the power plug. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barkis Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I can only add to what has already been said Erik. Underrated power supply is the most likely culprit. Ron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
