The Pegasus Astro Pocket Powerbox (in short PPB) is suitable for the “grab and go” astrophotographer who does not want too much automation. Device can distribute 10 Amps of power through 4 x 12V Outputs, Two Dew Heater Channels, A DSLR power output and an environmental sensor to monitor humidity and temperature.
The Pocket Powerbox provides:
Software: Duty Cycle % / OFF
0-100% humidity readings with 2-5% accuracy-40 to 80°C temperature readings ±0.5°C accuracy
A: We suggest to buy a good linear 12V / 10A branded power supply. Cheap units cause voltage drops on high load and ripple effect. This will cause issues and artefacts to your precious CCD Camera.
A: If you are going to make a custom input cable notice that you need at least a AWG 18 cable. Make also sure that you do not exceed 2m to to reduce voltage drops.
A: All electronic components were selected to support temperature ranges from -40 to +80 °C.
A: Sure, we are here to listen to our customers. Please contact us and tell us your idea!
A: Pocket Powerbox has an input reverse polarity protection. Device will not power on and of course will not allow any voltage to leak to outputs.
A: Enable auto-dew functionality. Device firmware will adjust the power of both Dew Heater outputs consulting the humidity / dew point levels that environmental sensor reports.
A: Of course, device was designed to support firmware upgrade for future features or bug fixes.
