Temma 2 requires you to hold a few buttons down on the little hand controller when powering up so the mount knows its in the Southern Hemisphere. Old Japanese type user interface where you hold something down whilst clicking.

Once you get past these types of initial confusions (and they happen with most gear) you'll be very happy with the mount's performance so its worth pressing on and through.

Download the manual and it will be in there. I forget which 2 buttons you hold down, I think its the top 2.

Chuck Faranda has a Temma 2 driver as well. That is the one I used to use.

A lot of mounts are northern hemisphere-centric and its happened to me several times. Some of the better ones have a physical switch for northern or southern hemisphere.

I just found a Temma manual for the EM200 (same controller). Look at page 29. It looks like you need to reverse the drives using the hand controller.

Boy, what a crappy manual. Its all Northern Hemisphere oriented. You could always call Claude in Adelaide.
