5 Independant Ports
Five individual and independant ports allow for complex dew prevention setups. Set each channel to the temperature you want. The five RCA ports are powered by individual high-capacity MOSFET transistors, each supporting up to 6 Amps. This design ensures efficient and reliable operation of demanding anti-dew equipment. Each port features PWM control, allowing you to fine-tune the output to match your dew prevention needs while optimizing power usage. Additionally, the DewMaster2 includes two 5.5x2.1 mm 12V DC passthrough ports, enabling you to power other astronomy equipment using the same supply as your dew controller.
The DewMaster2 offers a fully independent solution for managing dew control. Its 2.1-inch OLED screen, featuring a 128 x 64 resolution, displays key information such as heater outputs and environmental data at a glance. Combined with the intuitive three-button interface, the display allows you to adjust settings and monitor system performance directly from the device—eliminating the need for external devices like PCs, smartphones, or tablets.
Automated for Hands Free Adjustments and Remote Control
The DewMaster2 Digital Dew Heater Controller is designed for hands-off operation with advanced automation features. Using high-resolution temperature and humidity data from the included external environmental sensor, it proactively adjusts your anti-dew equipment to address dew formation before it becomes an issue. For even greater precision, the controller offers two 3.5 mm inputs for optional temperature probes (sold separately). These probes can be linked to specific channels, ensuring targeted adjustments and efficient heating without exceeding necessary levels. This automated system allows you to focus on observing while the DewMaster2 handles dew prevention seamlessly. Prefer manual control? The Dewmaster let's you choose.
