  • AC Adaptor, 1.5A

    This AC/DC adapter supplies up to 1.5A and is listed by iOptron as the optional AC/DC adapter (#8417-15) for the SmartEQ Pro Plus mount. It serves as a fundamental component for running equipment from a standard wall outlet, eliminating the need for portable battery packs during backyard observing sessions.

    Reliable 1.5A Power for Astronomy Accessories

    A stable power source is critical for the proper function of electronic astronomy equipment. This adapter is rated for 1.5A at 12V DC, enough for iOptron mounts such as the SmartEQ Pro Plus (9 to 12V, 1 amp) and the Solar 60 (12V, more than 1.2A). Using an adapter with the correct amperage prevents voltage drops that can cause tracking errors or electronic resets. Before use, always confirm the power requirements (voltage and amperage) of your specific device to ensure compatibility.

  • What is this 1.5A AC Adapter typically used for in astronomy?

    iOptron lists it as the optional 1.5A AC/DC adapter for the SmartEQ Pro Plus mount, for powering the mount from a wall outlet.

    Which iOptron mounts is this 1.5A adapter for?

    iOptron lists it as the optional AC/DC adapter (#8417-15) for the SmartEQ Pro Plus and as a suggested accessory for the Solar 60. For other mounts, check the power requirement in the mount's manual; the CEM60, for example, takes the 5A #8417-50.

    When would I need a power supply with more than 1.5A?

    You will need a higher amperage power supply if you are running multiple devices or a single device with a high power draw. Common scenarios include:

    • Large GoTo Mounts: the iOptron CEM60, for example, takes up to 5A and uses the #8417-50 adapter.
    • Multiple Dew Heaters: Running a dew controller for several heater strips will quickly exceed a 1.5A capacity.

    What are the risks of using an underpowered adapter for my telescope?

    Using an underpowered adapter can lead to intermittent equipment failure and poor results. When a device like a mount tries to draw more current than the adapter can supply, the voltage drops. This can cause the mount's computer to reset, ruin a long exposure by causing a tracking error, or even lead to the adapter overheating and failing.
