HitecAstro Mount Hub Pro V4

Mount Hub Pro V4

The latest release from the proven Mount Hub Pro with many useful new features and a all new and far more robust and compact aluminium housing.

Ports/Connectors

6 port integrated USB2.0 hub.
4 PC Controllable power outputs. These can now be preprogrammed to automatically turn on (or off) when the device is first powered so you can retain the "always on" functionality which many of our users enjoy. Of course all ports can be toggled on and off via software. Each output is rated to 7 A.

3 controllable dew ports
2 of which can be used to control an electroluminescence (EL) panel without flickering. Max rating 7 A

Voltage monitor which displays the loaded voltage.
This is the voltage which the device is operating at. A heavy load of devices will cause the voltage to drop on your power supply. You can now see this visually in our software.
All power and dew ports now have a current monitor which measures (in amps) how much power each of your devices is consuming. There is also separate monitoring of the USB current being consumed.

Software fuses
All power ports have individually selectable software fuses which will turn a device off if it consumes more than a preset limit. This would be useful for example if your mount snagged and the motors started to strain. It may help avoid damage to your equipment. (note: this feature is designed to help safeguard your equipment, however we cannot take responsibility for the use of this feature).

Choice to use Stepper or DC focus motor
Compatible with any unipolar stepper motor. Compatible with robofocus, moonlite, lakeside focusers. Feather touch focusers can be used with a current limiting adaptor.

Included temperature probe displays the ambient temperature in software. Temperature compensated focusing enabled on the stepper motor controller.
