Q: What is the passkey of my BETI?
A: The passkey is “12345” (please input the passkey without quotes).
Q: How long do the batteries last?
A: That
depends on a number of different factors – type of encoders
used, operating temperature, type of batteries. For
example, a pair of NiMH, 2700mA freshly charged batteries
will last approximately for four hours at
25oC when
connected to a pair of S2 optical encoders from US Digital
(http://www.usdigital.com/).
Q:
Can I use non-optical encoders?
A:
No, the
firmware processes pulses from standard quadrature optical
encoders such as the ones manufactured by US Digital.
Q: Can I change the passkey of my BETI?
A:
No, the
passkey is inbuilt and cannot be changed.
Q:
Do I need to pair BETI with my PDA/PC every time I use
them?
A:
No, you
need to pair BETI with your PDA/PC only once unless you
delete BETI from trusted devices list on your PDA/PC.
Q:
Does BETI use external power when both external power
and batteries are inserted?
A:
BETI
uses power source selected by the switch ‘Power mode’. It
will use either external power or batteries’ power but not
both at the same time.
Q:
Does BETI have a built-in charger for the installed
batteries?
A:
No, BETI
does not charge the batteries when the external power is
connected to it. BETI operates from either external power
or from the installed batteries.
Q:
How can I determine the resolution of my encoder?
A:
Just
multiply the CPR (counts per revolution) of your encoder by
four and then multiply the result by the ratio of the gears
(if you have any) it is connected to your telescope.
