The RC-CDA-R can be setup with your telescope As-is placed in automatic mode for trouble-free operation or can be controlled and monitored remotely via automatic or manual modes via a computer with the supplied com port interface.
Astro-Smart is the innovator of this elegant automatic solution to your dew problem. The RC-CDA-R is one to the most advanced dew controllers made available to the amateur or professional Astronomer and at a price comparable by no other system on the market. The RC-CDA-R is designed to be used with any make or model of telescope which has more features than any other dew control system being offered at a fraction of the cost. Whether you have a refractor, newtonian, schmidt-cassegrain, or a ritchey-chretien, the RC-CDA-R will solve your dew problems automatically while informing you every step of the way. Its like having a hired dew specialist posted at your telescope 24/7.
The RC-CDA-R module incorporates a four port heater capability controlling multiple channels using multiple channel temperature sensors . For instance, one sensor(DTS-12) may be used for the main imaging telescopes corrector plate for dew control while the second(DTS-34)is used for another mounted imaging scope, guider or finder scope or your eyepieces. Each monitored sensor channel location is then paired with its associated output heat strap channel for dew control. For instance, DTS12 sensor would be placed on the optical corrector and the heat strap would go around the optical interface tube for instance CH1 or CH2 or both.
Since, the inception of this product the RC-CDA-R was many years in the making over long periods in astronomy using existing products on the market. The RC-CDA-R is one to the most advanced dew controllers made available to the amateur or professional Astronomer and at a price comparable by no other system on the market. The RC-CDA-R is designed to be used with any make or model of telescope which has more features than any other dew control system being offered at a fraction of the cost. Whether you have a refractor, newtonian, schmidt cassegrain,or a ritchey-chretien, the RC-CDA-R will solve your dew problems automatically while informing you every step of the way. Its like having a hired dew specialist at your disposal.
