What is the purpose of the Software Bisque Paramount ME Homing Sensor Cable?
This is a factory replacement part designed to fix homing issues on a Paramount ME mount. It contains the sensors and wiring that allow the mount to find its precise, repeatable home position, which is critical for accurate GoTo pointing and tracking initialization.
Is this Paramount ME Homing Sensor Cable compatible with both MKS 4000 and MKS 5000 systems?
Yes. This cable assembly is a direct replacement for Paramount ME mounts running either the MKS 4000 or the MKS 5000 control system, ensuring broad compatibility.
My Paramount ME fails to home on one axis. Could this cable be the problem?
Yes, a failure to home is a common symptom of a damaged or failed homing sensor cable. Since this assembly includes the sensors for both the right ascension and declination axes, it is the correct part to replace when troubleshooting homing errors on either axis.
Does the Paramount ME Homing Sensor Cable include the actual sensors?
Yes. The assembly is a complete unit. It includes the wiring harness and the two integrated homing sensors for both the RA and Dec axes. You are replacing the entire component, not just the wire.
I have a Paramount MYT mount that won't home. Will this cable work for it?
No. This cable is specifically designed for the Software Bisque Paramount ME model. Using it on other mounts like the MYT or MX+ is not supported and will not work due to differences in length, connectors, and sensor placement.
How can I confirm this is the part I need before ordering?
This part is the official "Paramount ME Homing Sensor Cable Assembly" from the vendor catalog. If your mount is a Paramount ME and is experiencing homing failures, this is the standard replacement part provided by Software Bisque.
