Kendrick Standard Controller for Dew Heaters

Product Details

KENDRICK #2001 Model VI STANDARD CONTROLLER

Our original. The one that started it all and still going strong!

The 2001 Model VI is a simple, easy to use, compact, lightweight controller. The power cord is 6' long and has a fused cigarette lighter plug. There are four RCA jacks on this controller to plug your heaters into. With the addition of an RCA splitter cord, 5 to 6 heaters can be attached. This would allow the operator, for example, to use heaters for the main objective, both ends of a finder or guide scope and a Telrad.

The power output from the 2001 Model VI controller can be varied from 40% to 100%. As the standard controller is a duty cycle switch, it controls the power getting to your heaters by shutting it on and off many times each minute. When the standard controller is set on low, the heaters will continue to draw the same amount of current, only 40% of the time. Low to medium is the recommended setting for most observing conditions.

Owners of 14" and 12" SCTs need to be aware that you will need one 2001 controller for the main objective heater and another controller for any other heaters you wish to operate. The heaters for these size scopes max out the capability of the 2001 controller.
