Symptom : The robot mount is going down after pointing the sun (GOSUN scenario)

The first step is to verify the installation of the robot.

Right position
Good positioning of the head (Picture 1)

Origin position

Parking position

The head of the instrument should be attached to the robot at the position showed in picture 1. In fact, the weight must be good headed : If the belt is positioned at the bottom of the head the weight will be too important for the robot and the robot's zenith axis will go down.

If the head is correctly positioned and the problem still occurs, you should send back the instrument to Cimel for a robot checkup. The trouble comes from a motor strap which may not be well tensed.
