The Saddle Powerbox has close functionalities to the Pocket Powerbox Advance and can be directly placed on our NYX-101 mount or other mounts in the market. 4 x 12V DC Power outlets for your equipment. (A single channel to switch all four outputs ON/OFF via software) 10 Amps (120W) of total distributed current Embedded Powered USB3 Hub (2 x USB3 Ports & 2 x USB3 Ports Available (USB3 ports are backward compatible with USB2 devices) 1 x Power USB Port (up to 3Amps) – Suitable for Raspberry PI 3/4 power. Built-in ambient temperature and humidity sensor. 2 Channels PWM Dew Heaters – 2.1mm Outputs (Adjust power levels via software). Pair of cable adapters from DC 2.1 -> RCA is included Auto Tune of Dew Heater Channels Power, current, and input voltage meter. Reverse Polarity Protection USB / PC Controlled or Standalone Operation out of the box Losmandy and Vixen Clamp 4 x 12V DC Power outlets A powerful mosfet transistor provides “electric juice” to your precious equipment. It supply of electricity 4 outputs. Can switch on/off all 12V outputs (not individually).This single channel can provide up to 10Amps of current to all ports. Current is shared among the 4 x 12V portsBuilt in Sensors A precise voltmeter measures and displays in real-time your input voltage. If the input is more than 14.5V, the power is instantly cut off to protect your equipment. A temperature and relative humidity sensor measures and report your current environment values. 2 x Dew Heater OutputsTwo dew heater outputs allow you to precisely control the output of your heaters. Auto-dew functionality can automatically control the intensity of the heaters by consulting the built-in temperature and humidity sensor. A Pair of cable adapters from DC 2.1 -> RCA is included in the package.Built in Voltage and Amp-meter An Amp-meter placed after the DC input reports the total electric current and voltage levels. This allows you to easily monitor your equipment’s detailed and overall power consumption. More than 10A of total electric current The powerbox has been designed to output up to 10 Amps of electric current. Please note that a usual backyard astrophotographic setup requires 5-7 Amp Embedded USB3 Hub – 2 x USB3 & 2 x USB2 Ports USB High Power Output USB Port 1 provides up to 3 Amps of current. You can connect any device that requires 5V. E.g a Raspberry PI 3/4 or Intel Compute Stick M3/M5 can receive power from this specific port. A powered USB3 Hub at the back of the device provides: 2 x USB3 SuperSpeed Ports. 2 x USB2 High-Speed Ports. The new SuperSpeed hubs operate in parallel with the USB 2.0 controller, so 5 Gbps SuperSpeed data transfers are not affected by slower USB 2.0 traffic. USB Port Configuration under PPBADV Gen2 USB Port1 supports USB2 & USB3 devices USB Port2 supports USB2 & USB3 devices USB Port3 supports USB2 devices USB Port4 supports USB2 devices Optional Pucks for 3rd party mounts The Powerbox Saddle can be directly placed onto the NYX-101 mount. For another type of mounts, an extra puck is required. Currently we support the following mounts: Puck (PEG-PUCK-AM5) can be used to attach the Powerbox Saddle onto the ZWO-AM5 mount Puck (PEG-PUCK-EQ6R) can be used to attach the Powerbox Saddle onto Skywatcher NEQ6 and EQ6-R mounts. P{uck (PEG-PUCK-RST) can be used to attach the Powerbox Saddle onto RST 135 and RST 300 mounts. Losmandy and Vixen Style support A high-quality robust CNC aluminium saddle houses the electronics of the Powerbox. The saddle accepts Vixen and Lonsmandy plates. The are two independent knobs allowing you to lock your telescope onto the saddle.
