The Kendrick Standard Dual Channel Controller is a simple, easy to
use, compact lightweight product made of impact resistant ABS plastic.
The controller is powerful enough to remove dew on scopes with several accessories, yet very energy efficient.
It comes with a fused cigarette lighter plug and power cord. Each of the two channels are independently controlled.
Kendrick dew controllers are RFI suppressed, a Kendrick innovation. The circuitry is designed to
There are two RCA jack outputs for each channel giving a total 4x
RCA jack outputs to plug your heaters into. This would let you use 4x
dew heaters in total. For example:
- 1 heater for the main objective
- 1x heater for a finderscope
- 1x heater for a guide scope
- 1x heater for an eyepiece (or even two eyepieces if you buy the Kendrick binoviewer heaters which come with a splitter).
Technical specifications & features:
- Rugged Plastic Case with modern styling goes great with
white spatter coated telescope mounts like Vixen, Ioptron GEMs,
Skywatcher range.
- Zero to 100% heater control.
- Fused onboard. Auto Reset (no other dew controller on the market has this).
- On board protection from over current, over temperature, over voltage.
- LED overcurrent indication at both outputs.
- 10 amp capacity (5 amps per channel).*
- 6' detachable fused Power cord. Cord is fused at 7 amps.
- Reverse polarity protected.
- On/off switch (no other dew controller on the market has this).
- RFI (radio frequency interference) free. A critical feature for astro imagers!
- Pulse Width Modulation duty cycle control.
- 4 outputs, 2 for each control knob.
- LED Power on indicator for both outputs.
- Low voltage cut-off control with LED indication (a Kendrick standard!).
- Mosfet transistors built on board and on EACH output (no voltage drops!). Get the best possible performance out of your heaters!
- Velcro attachment. Parts included.
- 12 VDC operation.
- Dimensions: 4" x 3" x 1.35" (1.75" with knobs).
- 1 Year warranty.
* We have fused the power cord at
7 amps even though the controller is capable of amperages of 5 amps per
channel (10 amps total). We do not recommend replacing the power cord
fuse with a larger fuse as the power input socket is not rated for a
higher amperage.
A note on Kendrick quality:
- High quality build. We use only the best quality
components in our system, whether it be controllers or heaters. We do
not compromise on the integrity or performance capabilities of our
product.
- High quality circuit boards in our controllers.
We use "double sided" circuit boards. This gives our heater jacks extra
strength to help prevent the solder breaks that will occur on single
sided boards from the stress and strain of plugging and unplugging
heaters.
- Jim Kendrick's dew remover system has been copied since it's invention by Jim. Read our Kendrick vs Competitor Comparison. See for yourself and make an educated decision.
