The Kendrick Standard Dual Channel Controller is the most popular of Kendrick's dew controllers. It is suitable for most situations. Simple dial adjustments allow you to set the controller to the correct level to keep dew away.

Kendrick Standard Dual Channel Controller (SDCC) Specifications:

The power cord has been fused at 7 amps even though the controller is capable of amperages of 5 amps per channel (10 amps total). We do not recommend replacing the power cord fuse with a larger fuse as the power input socket is not rated for higher amperage.

The Standard Dual Channel has many new features but remains really simple to use. As well, it can handle more power and use that power more efficiently! This newest addition to Kendrick's Dew Remover Systems is sure to be a hit!

If you do not need to run more than 2 heater strips and are using smaller heater strips please consider the Kendrick Micro Controller. For ultimate control of dew, we recommend the DigiFire 8 and 12 controllers that feature digital control and also temperature sensing on the DigiFire 12.

The FX Series controllers are our heavy-duty "Prosumer" models with 4 individual adjustable heater ports and programmable power supply suitable for powering popular DSLR cameras. The DigiFire FX-PRO model has all the features of our former DigiFire 12 model, plus some impressive improvements.

Both models feature:

• 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. †

  • 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.
