Description

DigiFire FX-PRO Controller

We think you will agree that this is the best Dew Controller ever made.

The FX-PRO controller is Kendrick's heavy-duty "Prosumer" model with 4 individual adjustable heater ports, temperature sensors, and programmable power supply suitable for powering popular DSLR cameras. The new DigiFire FX-PRO model has all the features of Kendrick's former DigiFire 12 model, plus some impressive new improvements.

Product Features:

OLED Display
  • New OLED Graphic Display which displays all settings at a glance.
  • Built-in Voltage Meter
  • Heavy-Duty, individually adjustable power output for up to 4 heaters.
  • Built-in 8V DSLR Power Supply. Just add our DSLR Battery  Adapter and power you DSLR from the Dew Controller. 
  • 2 DC Accessory Ports
    • 1 Port 12V up to 7 Amp output
    • 2nd port programmable for 12V OR 8V (DSLR Camera Power). Up to 1.5 Amp output
  • 15 Amps total power (max 7 Amp with Cigarette Lighter Plug).
  • Dimmable lights! In fact, after 2 minutes, they shut-off! Pressing 1 of the 2 control buttons will "wake-up" the lights again, or you can also set the lights and graphic display to remain ON
  • User Changeable Cord. We strongly recommend you "ditch the Cigarette Lighter Plug". Chose you own or add our Anderson Power Pole plugs to get all 15 Amps the unit is capable of delivering.
  • Cord Management - Power other devices using the 2 DC Accessory Ports. For example, our 12V USB Hub.
  • Low Voltage Cut-Off - A Kendrick Standard that saves your battery from permanent destruction.
  • NEW>> Disable Low Voltage Cut-Off. We don't recommend it, but if you want to drain your battery beyond repair it is now possible.
  • Reverse Polarity Protection
DigiFire FX-PRO - Temperature Sensing Features

 

  • Temperature Sensing control for 2 of the 4 heater ports.
    • Heaters are only powered when the temperature of your optics reaches the level you choose. It works on the difference between Ambient Air Temperature and the temperature of your optics. Choose a setting that is 0-10 C°
    • Prevents unnecessary over-heating (which degrades image quality)
    • Saves battery power
  • Traditional "Duty-Cycle" settings are also available on all 4 heater ports

Sensors included: 2 - 1 of these is the Ambient Air Temperature and the other is the Optic Temperature Sensor. Additional Sensors are optional. If you want to use Temperature Regulation on a 2nd optic (telescope), order an extra Temperature Sensor.

Anderson Power Pole Option: All Kendrick Dew Controllers include a power cord with that uses a Cigarette Lighter Plug with an internal 7 Amp fuse. Some astronomers prefer Anderson Power Pole Connectors which are superior to cigarette lighter plugs. We also terminate the power cord with a special "pluggable terminal block" which makes it easy to make your own power cord. For convenience, we offer 2 Anderson Kits that include the Red & Black plastic shells and 2 metal contacts. The "Pre-Welded" model permanently fuses the plastic shells together using a plug orientation that works with Kendrick Power Supply/Distribution products. If you are unsure of the plug orientation you need, purchase the "non-welded" model.

Extra Power Cords are available.. The controller does include a power cord, but some people like a spare cord and they are available for purchase.

†The DSLR power supply is designed for normal astrophotography applications. Specifically, long exposures with momentary delay between exposures. It is NOT designed for daytime "burst" exposures.
