+==== Focuser of the CDK20 does not run the complete range of ~35000μ ====

+<WRAP twothirds column>
+**Problem description:**
+PWI3 shows clearly negative position values when driving in or the focuser does not run in the positive range (when driving out) up to the maximum ~35000μ.
+**Solution:**
+The focuser has "swallowed" and the encoder delivers wrong values. This can be fixed by clicking on ''Home'' (see picture) in the Focuser tab of PWI3 under ''Find Home and Reset'' and then on ''YES''. This will reset the focuser and reinitialize the home position, restoring the normal focus range.
