  • RB Focus Balinor Pro Smart PowerBox V3.0

    The RB Focus Balinor Pro Smart PowerBox V3.0 is a smart control box for your astronomy equipment. It powers up to 5 devices and 2 dew heater bands from one 12V DC input (up to 10 A), and its industrial-grade USB 3.0 hub connects up to 6 devices at up to 5 Gbps. The included temperature and humidity sensor lets it calculate the dew point, and the whole unit weighs only 150 g.

    Centralized Power for 10A Imaging Rigs

    The Balinor Pro takes one 12V DC input, from a battery or a 220 VAC to 12 VDC transformer, and distributes it through five 12V DC outputs and two PWM outputs, up to 10 A in total. It also monitors the consumption of your equipment and the voltage your power source is supplying.

    Industrial-Grade 6-Port USB 3.0 Hub

    The new Pro version adds an industrial-grade USB 3.0 hub with six ports and transfer rates of up to 5 Gbps, so your USB devices can connect at the telescope.

    Automated Dew Control with Included Sensor

    With the included temperature and humidity sensors, the Balinor Pro has the data to calculate the dew point. Your control software can then switch the dew heater bands on only when they are really needed, avoiding wasted power and unwanted currents in the optical tube.

    Real-Time Monitoring via Onboard OLED Display

    The OLED screen, like the ASCOM software, shows the device's on-screen data in real time: environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, dew point), the consumption of your equipment and the supply voltage.

    ASCOM Switch Control for Full Automation

    The Balinor Pro works with observatory control programs: you can switch equipment on and off and set up dew heater bands or fans. It can be controlled from any software that supports the ASCOM Switch, such as N.I.N.A., Voyager or APT.

    A Featherweight 150g, Telescope-Mounted Design

    RB Focus designed the Balinor Pro to be small, compact and light, so space and weight on your setup are not a concern: it measures 13 x 9 x 3.3 cm and weighs 150 g.

  • What is the primary function of the RB Focus Balinor Pro V3.0?

    It is a smart power box with a USB 3.0 hub: it powers up to five 12V devices and two dew heater bands, connects up to six USB 3.0 devices, monitors environmental conditions and power, and can be controlled through ASCOM Switch.

    How many devices can I power with the Balinor Pro V3.0?

    The Balinor Pro V3.0 features five 12V DC outputs for standard equipment like cameras and mounts, and two PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation) outputs specifically for dew heaters or observatory fans. The total combined power draw cannot exceed the maximum current of 10 A.

    How does the automatic dew heater control work on the Balinor Pro V3.0?

    The Balinor Pro V3.0 uses its included temperature and humidity sensor to calculate the dew point. Through an ASCOM-compatible program like N.I.N.A. or Voyager, you can configure the two PWM outputs to automatically activate your dew straps only when the ambient temperature approaches the dew point, saving power and preventing excess heat.

    What software is compatible with the RB Focus Balinor Pro V3.0?

    The Balinor Pro V3.0 is controllable via any software that supports the ASCOM Switch standard. This includes popular astrophotography sequencing applications such as N.I.N.A., Voyager, and APT, allowing you to integrate power and dew control directly into your automated imaging sessions.

    What information does the OLED screen on the Balinor Pro V3.0 display?

    The onboard OLED display provides real-time telemetry for your setup. It shows key metrics including total power consumption (amperage), input voltage, and live environmental data such as ambient temperature, humidity, and the calculated dew point.

    What do I need to supply myself to use the RB Focus Balinor Pro V3.0?

    The box contains the Balinor Pro V3.0 and the temperature and humidity sensor. You also need a 12V DC power source (RB Focus sells a 12V 10A supply in a Balinor Pro version) and 2.1 x 5.5 mm cables for your devices (RB Focus sells these too).

    Does the Balinor Pro V3.0 require special drivers to work?

    It is controlled through the ASCOM Switch standard, so your capture software needs the ASCOM platform and RB Focus's driver. Ask us if you need help finding it.
