Quick selection guide (luminous diameter)

Golden rule : always choose a model with a luminous diameter ≥ outer diameter of the mist shield.

Example: bezel 100 mm with mist guard Ø 120 mm → choose 125IR.

Model	Luminous diameter	Typical* compatibility
WMFP4-80IR	≈ 80 mm	Small glasses 60-70 mm
WMFP4-100IR	≈ 100 mm	Bezels 72-85 mm
WMFP4-125IR	≈ 125 mm	Bezels 90-102 mm
WMFP4-150IR	≈ 150 mm	Bezels 107-120 mm / small Newton
WMFP4-190IR	≈ 190 mm	Newton 150-200 mm / SCT 6-8

FAQ

What's the difference with the classic V4-EC?
The IR model includes a infrared remote controlThis means it can be used without USB, and only with a 12V power supply. Easier for nomad setups and ASIAIR.

Do I need a PC to control it?
No, with the remote control you can open/close directly. For automation (NINA sequences, etc.), USB/ASCOM is still possible.

Is it compatible with ASIAIR?
Yes, with the latest firmware and DC output. Please note: not compatible with the ASIAIR integrated in some ZWO cameras.

Is the heating system automatic?
No, but it is controllable in NINA via plugin. It can be activated continuously to prevent humidity.

Can I use the remote control and ASCOM in parallel?
Yes, IR is an additional control mode that simplifies life on the move.
