Wanderer Box Pro V3 - Leading multifunctional power distributor + USB3.1 controller

Power Ports & Switches

• 10 total power output ports:
  • 1x 19V 6A output port for mini PC
    
    • DC5525, verified on Intel Nuc7 and Intel Nuc8, not guaranteed to be compatible with all brands of mini PCs.
  • 2x 5-13.2V 5A switchable regulated output
    • DC5521, adjustable voltage, two parallel ports share a maximum output current of 5A.
  • 3x Dew heater (switch) output port
    
    • DC5521, a total of three and can be controlled independently. They can control the power of the dew heater and can also be used as normal switches.
  • 4x 12V switchable DC output port
    
    • DC5521, four in total, two in a group, a total of two groups, each group shares a maximum current of 8A and can be switched on/off.
  • 1x Normally open 12V output
    
    • DC5525, internally directly connected to the input port, maximum 10A.

• 120W+ peak power supply.

• Supports high power consumption tasks such as Pixinsight processing.

USB Ports

• Maximum 6A continuous current, USB switchable
  • 3x USB3.1 outputs can be used to connect cameras for high-speed readout. They can be switched on and off individually.
  • 6x USB2.0 outputs can be used to connect other devices such as equatorial mounts, WandererCovers, etc. There are two groups of three, which can be turned on and off.
  • All USB output ports share a 5V 6A power supply capacity, which can power a USB dew heater.

Automatic and intelligent Dew Heater Control

• 1x DHT22 temperature & humidity sensor
• 3x temperature probes
• Manual control: Manually adjust the duty cycle of the PWM port to control the power of the dew heater(0-255).
• Constant temperature control: WandererBox will keep the dew heater temperature constant at the set value.
• Dew point temperature difference mode: WandererBox will regulate the temperature of the dew heater to maintain a fixed value higher than the dew point. It saves power and prevents condensation effectively. It also ensures that the dew heater does not overheat, ensuring good image quality.

Power Input

The 5-13.2V regulator (can be turned off) easily copes with input voltage changes and ensures stable power supply to the camera

Adjustable voltage meets the requirements of different devices.

Long input power cables may cause voltage drops, and the power supply voltage of remote observatories may also be unstable. This DC port will maintain a stable set voltage, which is essential for stable operation of the camera. Some cameras may have image readout problem when the voltage is lower than 12V or unstable.

The operating voltage of some devices (such as most DSLR cameras) is not 12V, and the adjustment range of 5 to 13.2V is suitable for most devices.

This DC port can also be switched on and off.

Maximum input current 18A.

Other Features

• Cooling fan
  • Powerful heat dissipation thanks to the cooling fan which automatically turns on based on power consumption. The small magnetic silent fan produces almost no vibration.
  • The fan will only run when the 19V output port or the 5-13.2V adjustable voltage output port is under high load. The high-quality silent magnetic levitation fan, which is much more quiet than the fan on the cooling camera, will not affect the guiding.
• Excellent visualization interface.
  • Voltage, current, dew point temperature and other information are clear at a glance.
• Maximize the security of WandererBox itself and connected devices
  • Electrophoresis, Short circuit, Overcurrent and Electrostatic protection.
  • The environment of a remote observatory can be harsh, and the normal operation of the equipment is very important. WandererAstro specially designed the WandererBox series to protect the safety and stability of the equipment as much as possible.

• 19V, 12V and 5V power indicator lights.
• M6 and M4 threaded holes on the bottom
  • You can use the Mini Dovetail Plate to secure the Wanderer Dew Terminator to your dovetail slot. You can also use screws to fix it to a dovetail board or any structure with holes.
• Powerful customization capabilities
  • Switch mode
  • Switch name
  • USB device name
  • Dew heater mode
