Use the build-in Color filter wheel
Install filters
QHY16200A has build-in five position 2inch/50mm color wheel. Please following the steps to
install them.
1. Open the camera front case. There is four M3 screws and eight M2 hexagon screws for the front
case. You can use the screw driver supplied with the camera to open it. Among the eight M2 screw
there is one shorter than all the others. Please remeber the position of this screw.
2. You will see the filter disk after remove the front case. The current disk design is suitable for both
50mm unmounted filters and the 2inch mounted filter. You can use the screw set come with the
QHY16200A to fix the filter on the disk. Please pay attention the maximum height of the filter
(excludes the 2inch thread) is 7.0mm. Please make sure the filter plus the screw does not touch
the front case and also does not touch the optic position detector board.
3. After installed the filters. You can power the camrea and connect USB to verify the colorwheel
running well. Then put the front case back.
Control filter wheel in software
In EZCAP. You can control the filter wheel rotate by select menu->camera setup->colorwheel
control
Select a number and the colorwheel will run to this position. If the number is the current position of
the colorwheel the camera will ignore of it.
In ASCOM.
Please refer to chapter " Using ASCOM and MAXIMDL" above.

Use OAG-M
QHYOAG-M and a M54 adapter come with the QHY16200A. By six M3 screws you can install
them .
The prism of the OAG may have a protect film on front surface. Please remove it before using.
You can use QHY5L-II-M as the guider. Please pay attention that you may remove the front part of
QHY5L-II-M to get the back focus short enough for this combination of OAG-M and QHY16200M. If
you are using other guider. We are not gurantte the back focus is suitable for them due to the very
short back focus of the QHY16200A.
The thinkness of QHYOAG-M is 10mm and the M53 adatper is 3mm. So the totally back focus
addon is 13mm. The QHY16200A back focus is 33.5mm. So the total back focus with
QHYOAG-M is 46.5mm.

he Serical Port has standard
RS232 level (+-10V) . You can connect
to the
RS2
232 to the mount or focuser.
Pllease note

Other Port and Socket
In QHY16200A there is two USB HOST Port. Which is connect in the on-camera hub. You can use
this port to connect the guider or anyother USB device. The USB port can output 500mA current
each.
On top of the camera this is a "CCD Clean" Port. Normally this port is in-factory using propose.
Normally you do need to open it.
On the side of the camera there is a "Silicon gel socket". It can be used to dry the CCD chamber.
See the topic of "Drying CCD Chamber" for it.
QHY16200A has the "Trig-In" and "Trig-Out" Socket. Trig-in is the trigger input socket and allow
you send a pulse to the camera and the camera will begin to exposure. The Trig-Out socket can
output a signal to indicate the exposuring period of the camera. This two port is isolated by 
RSWRFRXSOHUUHOD\
. If you need to use this two port please contact QHYCCD for details.
USB Bypass Board
QHY "A" series camera includes a build-in USBHUB and it can expand two USB Host and two
RS232 via a USB->Serial Port convertor. In some condition it may not work , for example, the
QHY16200A is under another USBHUB and sometimes it has conflict that cause the problems. You
can replace the HUB board with this Bypass Board by openning the case of the camera. 
Here is a step by step guide of how to replace this board.

The on-camera OLED display is used to display some informations. This OLED is driven directly by
the applicaton software. In different software it may display different informations. In current
applications this OLED is not actived.
FAQs
1.What's the back focus of this QHY16200A
The backfocus is 33.5mm. When connect with QHYOAG-M and M54 adapter it is
33.5mm+13mm=46.5mm
Camera Maintenance
Drying the CCD Chamber
The CCD sensor is located in a CCD chamber. This chamber is airpoor and connect to the socket
of the silicon gel tube on one side of the QHY16200A case. If there is moisture and cause the CCD
sensor glass get dew. You can connect the silicon gel tube on the socket to dry it.

Please put the effective silicon gel into the silicon gel tube. Make sure this is a cotton inside to
prevent the silicon gel get into the CCD chamber. 
Avoid CCD chamber optic window get dew
If the envrioment humidity very high, the optic window of the ccd chamber may get dew. The
QHY16200A has the build-in heat board on this optic window to heat the optic window to avoid it. In
most conditions it can take effection.
If the optic window still get dew please try the following method.
1.Avoid the CCD Camera face down to ground. The cold air is heavy than warm air, if you put the
camera facing down to the ground, the cold air is easy to get the optic window and cause it very
cold and get dew.
2.Increase the temperature of the CCD sensor. You can increase the CCD sensor temperature a
little to prevent the optic window get dew.
3.Check if the heat board working. If the heat board not working, the optic window is easy to get
dew. Normally the heat board can get about 65-70C in +25C enviroment . If it is not so warm, it
maybe the problem of the heat board damaged. Need to contact QHYCCD to replace one heat
board.
Clean the CCD Sensor
Normally you can use the flat frame to calibrate the dust shadow on the image. QHYCCD
does not recommand you open the ccd chamber to clean it. It may bring more dust if you
can not control the enviroment dust. It also may bring the scratch when cleanning CCD
sensor or cause some cable damaged during assembly the camera.
QHYCCD has the factory clean service. It is USD100 per time and it does not includes the
ship cost. 

If you really want
to clean it . Ple
ease follo
owing this step. 
You
u need pre
epare the tools by yourself
to
o open the
e camera.
