Power and dew management
Four 12 V outputs switch together as one bank. Two independently controlled PWM outlets provide dew control and can instead be configured as constant 12 V outputs. The manual specifies 4 A per PWM channel and a 10 A total device limit. Two supplied pigtails convert the 2.1 mm outputs to RCA for heater bands.
USB and environmental monitoring
The powered hub provides two USB3 and two USB2 ports, with a USB3 Type-B computer connection. Built-in temperature and humidity sensing supports automatic heater adjustment and software environmental reporting.
Standalone and remote operation
Stored settings allow standalone use; Unity, ASCOM and INDI provide computer control. The manual specifies −20 to +60 °C operation. The package includes DC leads, two RCA adapters and a 1.8 m USB3 cable.
