Mode of operation
A 10Micron mount can be switched on and off remotely via this external switch modu-
le (OMS – Observation Management System Nano). For this, the 3-pin stereo jack EXT
SWITCH 1is connected in parallel with its two front contacts (stereo left and right, wit-
hout ground) to the ON / OFF switch 2. This is a rocker switch that is only active for the
duration the rocker switch is pressed (one to three seconds).
The switch box must perform the same function as the rocker switch. It must close
the contact for one to three seconds, but not continuously.
Connecting the Switch
• Switch off the mount manually at the control box by using the ON/OFF switch 2.
• Wait for the red LED 3to turn off. This can take up to 30s.
• Disconnect the mount from the power supply (pull the plug).
• Plug the jack plug of the switch module into the jack socket EXT. SWITCH 1
of the control box.
• Connect the supplied power supply unit to the switch module.
• Connect the LAN port of the switch module to your network, e.g. a switch, or
directly to your computer using the network cable.
• Optional: Connect the switch module to your computer using the USB cable in
order to congure the network settings of the switch module or to import rmware
updates. For normal operation, you only need a connection via the network cable.
• Reconnect the power supply to the mount.
Note: The rocker switch on the control box of the mount is out of operation after
plugging in the jack plug of the switching module. If you unplug the connection
cable from the 10Micron control box, it will power up/shut down. This makes a
manual operation possible.

Control of the Switch
Open a web browser and enter the assigned IP-address:
192.168.0.123/index.htm
The web interface opens. This address can be dened
in the web browser as a bookmark or start page, so that
the switch module can be found automatically the next
time the browser is called up.
Switch on the mount: Click on 10 Micron Pulse.
The mount now starts up, which is indicated in the keypad display by showing Con-
necting…, if it was previously dened that the Virtual Keypad should connect via Auto
Connect after the mount has been started.
As soon as the mount has booted, the Virtual Keypad displays the connection data.
Remember to move the mount to its designated park position before switching it off.
Switching off the mount: Click the button 10 Micron Pulse again.
The mount is now shutting down.
Attention: Prior to restarting, the mount must be completely shut down. The red LED
of the control box must have been extinguished. Since this is not visible in remote
mode, you should wait at least 30 seconds before operating 10 Micron Pulse again.
Configuration
This function requires a USB connection to the switch box. This is used to secure access.
Open a web browser and enter the following IP address:
192.168.0.123/config.htm
The conguration web interface opens. This address can also be saved as a book-
mark in the web browser, so that the next time the browser is opened, the switching
module is easier to nd.

Under the menu item Network, you can now make all the necessary changes to your
own network. However, it is recommended to use a xed IP address as far as possible.
Please note:
If changed settings have not yet been transmitted to the switch box, the Update Pen-
ding button lights up red. In this case, wait until the button button turns grey again.
Under the menu item Relays, all necessary settings for the functions of the two relays
can be made.
Under Relays-No. 1 the preset values for the control of the mount can be viewed. Do
not change these values! Relay 1 is activated by pressing the 10 Micron Pulse button.

8Manual: OMS-Nano Remote-Switch for 10Micron Mounts
Under Relays-No. 2 the second relay (labelled "I/O Switch" on the OMS-Nano) can
be freely programmed for future applications.
If you already want to use the second relais now, we can provide the documentation,
if you contact us at [e-mail]. Please note that the warranty is
void once the housing is opened or the second port is reprogrammed. These altera-
ions are done at your own risk.
Completion of the work
After each change of the settings, the switch box must be switched off and on again to
successfully complete the programming. After changing the IP address and a restart,
the OMS-Nano can be reached under the new IP address. Please remember to make
the necessary changes to the bookmarks as well.
Likewise, the IP-4 details in the network settings can be reset to the original values if
necessary.
