10Micron GM2000 HPS II COMBI ColdTemp combines the 50 kg instrument capacity of the standard mount with the manufacturer’s special low-temperature configuration. It is a German equatorial HPS mount with absolute on-axis encoders, precision worm gearing and two-axis brushless servo drive.
Cold-temperature equipment
10Micron specifies operation down to −30 °C for this option, using special low-temperature lubricants, silicone-sheathed wiring and suitable electronics. This is an operating specification for the ColdTemp build, not the much lower storage-temperature figure. It does not certify every attached camera, cable or third-party accessory for the same conditions.
Mechanics and performance
The model retains the standard mechanical architecture, 33.5 kg mount weight without accessories, 40 mm counterweight shaft and 2–20°/s published slewing range. The onboard model supports up to 100 points and compensates polar, orthogonality, refraction and flexure errors.
Control and installation
The 24 V DC system supports keypad and compatible remote computer/web control. Counterweights are separate. Match the power supply and GPS receiver to the actual control-box generation, and use the model-specific technical sheet and support interface for installation.
Current manufacturer technical-sheet mass is 18.5 + 15 = 33.5 kg. Product prose rounds the first module to 18 kg. Standard operating range is separate from the ColdTemp option. The product-page Cold Temperature option explicitly states −30 °C; the technical-sheet “−30/−35” wording is not treated as an unconditional −35 °C guarantee.
