  • Dew-Not Heater Strip - Hand Controller

    The Dew-Not Heater Strip for Hand Controllers is sized to hug the back of standard hand-held telescope controllers and keep them warm and dry in winter or cold climates, drawing 0.21 A at 12 V DC. This 4.5" strip is rated at 2.5 W, with a 3.5" heating element, and connects to a dew heater controller via a 6 ft power cord with a standard RCA plug.

    4.5" Form Factor for Hand Controller Use

    Designed specifically for handheld telescope controllers, this 4.5" heater strip uses a simple dual rubber band system to attach securely to the back of the unit. It keeps the controller warm and dry while leaving the front side controls accessible.

    2.5W Thick-Film Heater: 12V DC Operation

    At the core of the strip is a USA-made thick-film heater that operates on 12 V DC, rated at 2.5 W. Unlike resistance wire heaters, sixty-six percent of its surface area emits heat, for more even heat distribution and no localized hot spots or burnouts often associated with resistance wire heaters. The pad is cloth covered with foam insulation on the outer side for maximum efficiency and performance.

    • Power Requirement: Operates on a standard 12 V DC power source, drawing 0.21 A.
    • Connection: A 6 ft cord with a molded RCA plug fits standard dew heater controllers (sold separately).
    • Heating Element: 3.5" long.

  • How do I attach the Dew-Not DN016 heater to my hand controller?

    The Dew-Not DN016 uses a dual rubber band system. You simply stretch the bands around the body of your hand controller so the 4.5" heater pad rests against the back, leaving the front side controls accessible.

    What kind of power supply does the Dew-Not Hand Controller Heater need?

    This heater runs on 12 V DC and connects via a standard RCA plug. It is designed to be plugged into a port on a standard dew heater controller (sold separately).

    How much power does the Dew-Not DN016 heater strip consume?

    The heater is rated at 2.5 W and draws 0.21 A at 12 V DC.

    What makes the thick-film heater in the Dew-Not strip different from others?

    Sixty-six percent of the surface area of Dew-Not's thick-film heater emits heat. This results in more even heat distribution across the 3.5" element, preventing the localized hot spots and potential burnouts that can occur with wire-based designs.
