heaters, this is where you can manually set the power output for
each dew heater port.
Power #1 (Variable Voltage)
After selecting Dew Heater Ports from the menu, you can scroll
Power #2 (12V) to the four heater ports. The LCD on the hand control will display
whether each port is in Manual or Auto mode and the power draw

maximum power to the dew heater connected to the port. Once
you have entered your desired value, press ENTER.
Ambient Temp
Humidity
- If you select Automatic Mode, you will need to set the aggression
Dew Point
level. This is a number from 1 (lowest aggression) to 10 (highest
aggression) that indicates how active the smart dew controller is
Recalibration
when preventing dew. A higher aggression setting will use more
power but will provide the highest level of dew prevention during
changing environmental conditions. In general, you can use a
lower aggression setting for warmer, drier, or windier observing
sites and smaller telescope apertures. Conversely, use a higher
aggression setting for cooler, more humid observing sites and
larger telescope apertures.
If you are unsure of which aggression setting to use, try 5 (the
default setting). After you have set the aggression, press ENTER.
Power Status – Displays the power draw from the devices

connected to the controller.
Voltage Status – Displays the voltage provided by the input

power source.
Current Status - Displays the current the devices connected
l
to the controller are using.
Current Limit – This menu allows you to set the maximum
l
current for the power source. When the current draw from
connected devices exceeds this amount, the "Over Current"
LED on the controller's bridge will illuminate.
Press ENTER to set the current limit from 1.0A to 20.0A.
n
Press ENTER when done.
NOTE: If you exceed the current limit and the "Over
n
Current" LED turns on, you need to disconnect a
device from the controller or use another power source
that can supply more current. If you use another power
supply, make sure to change the current limit.
To turn a dew heater port off, select the dew heater port,
l
change to Manual Mode, and set the Power Level to 0%.
