R-Sky Automatic Controller - The Ultimate Solution for Dew Heater Management
Tired of manually adjusting your dew heaters throughout the night? The R-Sky Automatic Controller is here to solve your problems. Designed for ease of use and efficiency, this controller ensures your telescope remains free from dew and frost, allowing you to focus on observing and photographing the night sky without any interruptions.
The R-Sky Automatic Controller operates on a “set it and forget it” principle. Simply connect the air and telescope sensors, set the desired temperature range that prevents dew formation on your optics, and let the controller do the rest. No more endless tinkering with power settings or worrying about dew formation or overheating.
Key Features:
• Precise Automatic Temperature Control: The controller uses sensors to continuously monitor air and telescope temperatures, automatically adjusting the heater to keep your optics free from dew and moisture.
• Battery Conservation: Utilizing pulse-width modulation (PWM), the R-Sky controller conserves energy by only operating when necessary, thus extending battery life.
• Low Charge Warning: When the battery voltage approaches a critical level (10.5V), the controller signals with a yellow LED on the faceplate, ensuring you are aware of the battery status.
• Versatile Application: The controller can simultaneously manage the heating of up to two optical instruments in automatic mode, such as two telescopes, a telescope and a finder, a secondary mirror, or a finder scope.
• Manual Control Option: If you prefer manual control, simply unplug the sensors, and the controller allows you to adjust the power manually across a 0-100% range.
• No CCD Interference: Ensures clean and uninterrupted imaging.
• Reverse Polarity Protection: Safeguards the device from incorrect power connections.
