The Kendrick Dew Remover System was developed to meet the need in the astronomical community for an effective dew removal and prevention system. This system has heaters for almost all the optical components used in amateur astronomy.

Repeated field testing on many types and optical surfaces under many conditions and hundreds of satisfied customers has proven the effectiveness of this product over and over. It also has these other attractive features: It is energy efficient. Variable settings on the controller allow maximum conservation of battery power. It has an adjustable heat range to prevent tube currents or seeing degradation. It is lightweight. It is high quality It is capable of keeping every optical surface you are using during an observing or astrophotography session free of moisture all night long. It is guaranteed to work.

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.

Premier Controller

top

We are pleased to announce the introduction of our new digital PREMIER POWER CONTROLLER. It is the most advanced controller of its type available with many new features not seen before.

Since the introduction of the Kendrick Dew Remover System in 1994, we have had many requests for a more advanced controller. These customers have wanted more control over the heaters on their telescopes. We have taken it one step further and have provided a platform that will offer centralized power management of telescope accessories and dew prevention heaters.

Now, various devices, accessories and heaters can be powered and controlled from one central device. Now, not only heaters, but accessories such as Dobsonian cooling fans, digital setting circles, illuminated eyepieces, Telescope motor drives, Astro Systems Dewguard secondary mirror heaters, motorized focusers etcetera can be powered from the controller (Some plug modification may be required).

When used for dew prevention, the PREMIER POWER CONTROLLER is programmable over a number of different parameters explained under PROGRAMMABLE FUNCTIONS.

The controller's many new features are:

1. Built in low voltage cut-off (Outputs 1 through 5 only).
2. RFI (radio frequency interference) free. Absolutely necessary if you are into digital imaging!
3. LED display.
4. LED brightness control.
5. Temperature/Humidity sensing and control on two outputs.
6. Your choice of Fahrenheit or Celsius operation.
7. 6 outputs (2 of which are constant on).
8. LED power on indicators for outputs 1 through 5.
9. Outputs 1 through 4 are individually programmable.
10. Numerical Keypad entry of operating parameters for utmost control of your settings.
11. Remote control, programming and monitoring capability (optional software purchase required).
12. Sensor readouts to show ambient air temperature, optic temperature, dewpoint temperature, humidity in %, battery voltage.
13. The ability to enable or disable outputs (output #6 cannot be disabled).
14. The ability to save up to 4 different configurations.
15. A beautiful brushed stainless steel case.
16. An optional brushed stainless steel cradle that connects to your tripod or Dobsonian telescope.
17. Temperature sensors are calibrated. Combined errrors from uncalibrated ambient and optic temperature sensors can be significant.

The 2002 Premier Power Controller Package includes:

1. The controller itself
2. One temperature/humidity sensor for sensing ambient air temperature/humidity.
3. One temperature cable for sensing optic air temperature. Additional cables may be purchased.
4. A lanyard for hanging the controller.
5. An instruction manual.

PROGRAMMABLE FUNCTIONS Depending on the package purchased, the Premier Controller is programmable in the following parameters:

1. Duty Cycle. Outputs 1 through 4 can be individually programmed to operate anywhere from 10% to 100% on.
2. Temperature variance. Outputs 1 and 2 can be individually programmed to operate within a user specified temperature variance (ie: 5° above air temperature).
3. Dewpoint variance. Outputs 1 and 2 can be individually programmed to operate within a user specified temperature variance (ie: 5° above dewpoint).
4. Set temperature. Outputs 1 and 2 can be individually programmed to operate at a user specified set temperature. This function is useful if you have a device that needs to kept at a specific temperature for optimal performance.
5. Outputs 1 and 2 can be programmed to mirror one another. For example, if output #1 has been programmed to operate at 7° above dewpoint, then output #2 would come on and turn off at the same time as #1.
6. Enable/Disable. Outputs 1 through 5 can be set to on or off at any time. This is useful if, for example, you are running fans to aid in cooling your optics and you want them shut off.
7. LED brightness. The LED Display can be set anywhere from a low setting for nightime use to bright for daytime use.
