ECCO-NTC adapter for Dew Heater Rings for ECCO2

ECCO-NTC adapter for Dew Heater Rings for ECCO2

ECCO-NTC is the adapter that allows you to use a Celestron Dew Heater Ring with the ECCO2 environmental computerized controller. Dew Heater Rings differ from standard dew heater straps, as they utilize an NTC thermistor to measure temperature of SC or aplanatic SC telescopes corrector plate without the need for an external temperature probe.

ECCO-NTC is small and lightweight, allowing you to connect it to any standard Vixen-style finder shoe and it comes with 2 grub screws to attach the main body of ECCO2. ECCO-NTC does not require external power since it´s powered directly by ECCO2.

Important noteThis adapter is specifically designed to work with ECCO2 and it´s not compatible with the previous/first generation ECCO controller.

Question:
How is the ECCO-NTC connected?

Answer from Teleskop-Service:
The ECCO-NTC doesn´t require special software and it doesn´t require external power: just connect ECCO2 and attach the cables (see diagram) in order to let you use Dew Heater Ring with your ECCO2 and EAGLE:

> Insert ECCO2 body into ECCO-NTC and lock it with the 2 grub screws
> Connect the 12VDC 5.5/2.1 mm to RCA power cable (that is included with the Dew Heater Ring) to one of the EAGLE´s dew heater ports.
> Connect the 3.5mm to 3.5mm power jack cable to ECCO´s port number corresponding to the EAGLE´s dew heater port you connected the 12VDC 5.5/2.1 mm to RCA power cable. For example: if you connect dew ring power cable to EAGLE´s port number 6, you have to connect this 3.5 mm to 3.5 mm power jack cable to port 6 of the ECCO2.
> Connect the other side of this 3.5 mm to 3.5 mm power jack cable to 3.5 mm port on one side of the ECCO-NTC.
> Connect the 2.5 mm to 2.5 mm cable to port 2.5 mm port on one side of the ECCO-NTC and to the thermistor jack of dew ring.
> Connect the USB-C port to USB-A port cable (that is included with ECCO2) to ECCO2 and to EAGLE (compatible with EAGLE models with dew heater ports).
