Pegasus Astro - Saddle Powerbox<\/h3>\n

Visit Pegasus Astro Saddle Powerbox<\/strong> is a versatile accessory designed to make any astronomy or astrophotography set-up simpler and more reliable.
\nIt combines a mounting saddle (Losmandy & Vixen)<\/strong> and a intelligent power station<\/strong>, This allows you to power cameras, mounts, heaters, accessories and computers, while drastically reducing cable clutter.<\/p>\n

Thanks to its USB ports, numerous 12V outputs, integrated sensors and comprehensive control software, the Saddle Powerbox secures your setup, avoids blackouts and guarantees optimum management of your observation nights.<\/p>\n

    6 12V power supply outputs<\/h3>\n

    The Powerbox features 4 standard 12V outputs<\/strong> and 2 PWM outputs<\/strong> for heating resistors (convertible to fixed 12V outputs). Internal MOSFETs provide a stable, reliable power supply. The 4 main outputs switch on and off together, while the two PWM outputs can be controlled individually.<\/p>\n

    Integrated sensors<\/h3>\n

    The Saddle Powerbox continuously measures temperature<\/strong> and thehumidity<\/strong> for optimal monitoring of ambient conditions and automatic mist control.
    \nIt also displays the input voltage<\/strong> and the current drawn<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    Heating resistors (2 ports)<\/h3>\n

    Two PWM outputs provide precise control of your heating elements, with a capacity of 5A per output<\/strong>.
    \nThe function Auto-Dew<\/strong> automatically adjusts power output according to dew point.
    \nTwo adapters DC 2.1 \u2192 RCA<\/strong> are included.<\/p>\n

    Power consumption monitoring<\/h3>\n

    An internal ammeter measures the total consumption of your setup. You can monitor voltage and current in real time to avoid overloads.<\/p>\n

    Over 10A of available current<\/h3>\n

    Designed for demanding setups, the Powerbox can supply up to 10A<\/strong> in total.
    \nA typical photo installation consumes between 5 and 7A.<\/p>\n
