Anti-dew heater strip

$19.00

SKU: ZWO Anti-dew Category:

Product Description

The anti-dew heater strip is used for anti-dew on the front window of the ASI cooled cameras.

This  kit includes the zip-tie, anti-dew heater strip and an Y power cord:

Anti-dew-Kit-NEW

The thickness of the anti-dew heater strip is 0.2~0.3mm.

The “Y” power cord is designed to connect in-line with the cooler power supply for convenience.

And we recommend a DC adapter giving 12V at 0.35 A  resulting in a heating power on the strip that is around 4.2 watts. You can use one and same power cord to power both the fan and heater simultaneously, but make sure not to exceed recommended amount of Ampere.

 

NOTE: for many ASI-cameras a heater strip is not necessary since they have one that is build into the cameras itself.

ASI071MC-P/ASI6200/ASI2600/ASI2400 cameras come with anti-dew heater that will heat the protective glass to avoid any dew problems.

For ASI183/ASI1600/ASI294/ASI533 cameras, the heat emitting from the TEC will be conducted to the camera case and avoid any dew problems when TEC cooling system working.

 

How to use it?

  1. Tear out the protective film on adhesive tape
Anti-dew-theback0
2. Put the anti-dew heater strip on the front facing of the camera and make sure the black cable is in the right position (lining next to the DC plug at the rear end)

    hello, I have a ASI2400 MC Pro, and recently I had dew problems on the protecting glass, a halo in the center of the glass. Weather was very humid. I understand my camera would not need an extra external dew heater, as it is already built in. However, apparently, it was not sufficient – or maybe not working.
    1) How do I make sure the internal dew heater is working properly?
    2) Do you recommend adding an external dew heater?
    thank you
    Rob

    I have the 1600mm P with this dew strip on it and i don’t understand how I am to power the camera from my Celestron battery which is 12V 5A, since the dew strip uses the power port on the camera. I read the instructions that say to not exceed 3.5A to power the dew strip. Please clarify how I safely power the camera with this dew strip on it.

    I have an ASI 1600 MM Pro, on nights with high humidity (90%+) and the dew point within 1-2 of the temperature I seem to develop moisture on the camera lens, is there any harm in adding this dew heater to my camera? It seems the TEC heating isn’t enough when conditions are not ideal.

    Hello,
    I have the asi 1600 mm-c
    my sensor likes to freeze very much in winter.
    I was thinking about buying a heating collar.
    Now I see in the pictures to this cuff a strange connection.
    I work with 12v Do they also provide a corresponding connection?
