No need for USB: a simple cable 12V is enough to manage everything.

Why choose the IR version?

  • Infrared remote control no need to connect a USB cable if you're not using ASCOM - simplifies setup in the field.
  • Quick installation a single cable 12V powers and controls the system.
  • Perfect for ASIAIR simplified management without the need for a computer.
  • Nomad-friendly fewer cables, fewer points of failure, more fluidity for your nights.

Key features

  • Reinforced motor +50 % load capacity, cold-resistant (up to -25 °C), more than 3,000 cycles tested.
  • Anti-mist heating panel : keeps the flat dry all night and evaporates dew in the morning, can be controlled in NINA ("Device Actions and Commands" plugin).
  • Perfect flats Enhanced PWM controller (×2), 255 levels brightness, no stripes as soon as 0,1 snarrowband flats (3 nm) in ~1 s.
  • Exclusive cable management anti-tear solution, soft pads scratch-resistant, including universal clamps.
  • Extended compatibility : ASCOM, INDI, ASIAIR Plus, StellaVita (via DC output).

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.

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.
