River created a new topic ' QHY CCD cooling knocks out synscan' in the forum. 3 years ago

Hi Team,

I recently purchased a QHY CCD and filter wheel. Finally got filters installed into the wheel and everything was talking to each other UNTIL  I turn on the cooling for the CCD.
When I do, the synscan mount drops out and I get repeated error message.
Serial Write Error. Write Error, input/output error
I thought it was because I am using a deep cycle battery and perhaps draining too much power when starting cooling, so I plugged the CCD into mains power but the issue still happens.
Any advice or suggestions?
Much appreciated
