With its compact size and advanced features, it offers efficient, centralized power management for your astrophotography equipment.<\/p>\n<h3>Concentrated power in miniature format<\/h3>\n<p>Measuring just 66 mm x 66 mm x 24 mm and weighing just 115 g, the PPB Micro is ideal for lightweight, portable configurations. Despite its small size, it can deliver up to 10 A of total current, making it perfectly suited to modern, even power-hungry, equipment.<\/p>\n<h3>Advanced power management<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>4 12 V DC outputs :<\/strong> Each output can be switched on or off via the dedicated software. They are surge-protected and provide a stable power supply for your cameras, mounts or other accessories.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Adjustable output :<\/strong> A special socket allows you to set the voltage to 3V, 5V, 8V, 9V or 12V, with a maximum current of 3 A. Ideal for powering devices such as DSLR\/mirrorless or Raspberry Pi.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Integrated protection :<\/strong> The PPB Micro includes reverse polarity protection and continuously monitors the input voltage (5-15 V) with a built-in voltmeter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Checking heating resistors<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Two RCA outputs<\/strong> dedicated to heating resistors or flatboxes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Maximum power 5 A per channel,<\/strong> controllable via software.<\/li>\n<li><strong>AutoDew\" function:<\/strong> Automatically adjusts resistor power according to environmental sensor data (humidity and temperature), preventing condensation on your optics.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Stand-alone or connected operation<\/h3>\n<p>The PPB Micro can operate in stand-alone mode. Once configured, it memorizes your settings (such as AutoDew mode) and applies them automatically at each start-up. If required, it can also be controlled via a PC using the <strong>Pegasus Unity Platform<\/strong>ASCOM and INDI compatible.<\/p>\n<h3>Environmental sensor included<\/h3>\n<p>The supplied external sensor measures :<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Relative humidity :<\/strong> 0-100 % with an accuracy of \u00b12 to \u00b15 %.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ambient temperature :<\/strong> -40 \u00b0C to +80 \u00b0C with an accuracy of \u00b10.5 \u00b0C.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This data is used to optimize the use of heating elements and avoid any problems related to humidity.<\/p>\n<h3>Extended connectivity<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>USB2 Type B port<\/strong> for communication with a PC.<\/li>\n<li><strong>RJ12 port<\/strong> to connect Pegasus Astro accessories (such as an external focus motor).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Standard DC socket<\/strong> (2.1 mm positive center) for power input.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Practical applications<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Nomadic astrophotography :<\/strong> Its compactness and autonomy make it the perfect choice for travelling astronomers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Centralized management :<\/strong> Reduce clutter by grouping all your electrical connections in a single device.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Long-term observation :<\/strong> Power your CCD\/CMOS cameras, motorized mounts and accessories while optimizing energy consumption.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Box contents<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Pocket Powerbox Micro.<\/li>\n<li>External temperature\/humidity sensor.<\/li>\n<li>4 DC power cables (2 x 1 m, 2 x 0.5 m).<\/li>\n<li>USB Type B cable (1.8 m).<\/li>\n<li>User manual.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Remarkable features<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Ultra-compact, lightweight design.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Advanced energy management<\/strong> with overvoltage and reverse polarity protection.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stand-alone or connected operation<\/strong> according to your needs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Automatic heater control<\/strong> based on weather conditions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Upgradeable firmware<\/strong> to integrate future updates.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>In a nutshell<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Pocket Powerbox Micro is a miniature power station that simplifies equipment management while offering reliability and flexibility. It's ideal for astrophotographers looking for a lightweight yet powerful solution for their night-time sessions.<\/p>\n<h3>Reference and Configuration<\/h3>\n<table style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px\">Brand<\/th>\n<td style=\"padding:8px\">Pegasus Astro<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px\">Manufacturer reference<\/th>\n<td style=\"padding:8px\">PEG-PPBMICRO<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px\">Model \/ Configuration<\/th>\n<td style=\"padding:8px\">Pocket Powerbox Micro<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3>How do I check for compatibility?<\/h3>\n<p>Before setting up your system, compare the exact part number, generation, and connection types of your equipment with the manufacturer\u2019s documentation.
