Proper Dew Heater Configurator/Control
Posted: Thu Feb 09, 2023 8:01 pm
I'm using the Ultimate on my system and have it working my STL-11000 camera/focuser/rotator and the dew heaters are connected. I can manually turn on the heaters and confirm they are on based on amp draw. It's obvious which is on the 12.5" primary mirror vs the secondary. My question becomes how and when are the dew heaters being controlled? I don't see a method to have these come on when the humidity increases or how to have them on anytime the system is running. I run it unmanned so ACP is doing the startup and target selection based on ACP Expert. Other than manually switching on the dew heaters I don't see a way to based on humidity which the unit certainly sees. Am I missing something important?
