It lets you power up to 5 devices and 2 heating bands, and this Pro version adds an industrial-grade USB 3.0 hub that connects up to 6 devices with transfer rates of up to 5 Gbps. It brings your cabling together in one small unit and gives you real-time information about your environment and your power supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReal-time monitoring of conditions and power\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith all the necessary sensors included, the Balinor Pro lets you monitor atmospheric conditions such as temperature, humidity and dew point in real time. It also reports your equipment's consumption and the voltage supplied by your power source, whether that is a battery or a 220VAC to 12VDC transformer. The data is shown on the OLED screen and in compatible software, where the device's on-screen display presents the state of the environment and the power supply in real time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSmart control through ASCOM\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Balinor Pro is compatible with observatory control programs and allows you to switch equipment on and off and to configure heating bands or fans. It can be controlled from any software that supports ASCOM Switch Box, such as NINA, Voyager or APT.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAutomatic dew band control\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing its temperature and humidity sensors, the device has the data needed to calculate the dew point. You can program your control software to turn on the heating bands only when they are really necessary, which avoids wasting electricity and prevents unwanted currents from building up in the optical tube assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSmall, compact and lightweight\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFitting more gear into an astrophotography rig means worrying about size, weight and space. The Balinor Pro is designed to weigh just 150g and measures only 13cm x 9cm x 3.3cm, so it adapts easily to almost any setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperating Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12V DC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Current\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 10A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUSB Outputs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 x USB 3.0, up to 5 Gbps\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePorts\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 x 12V DC input, 5 x 12V DC outputs, 2 x PWM outputs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMonitoring\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTemperature, humidity, dew point, equipment consumption and supply voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDisplay\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOLED screen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSoftware Compatibility\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eASCOM Switch Box (NINA, Voyager, APT and others)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13cm x 9cm x 3.3cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e150g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIn the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x RB-Focus Balinor Pro Smart PowerBox V3.0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Temperature and humidity sensor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWarranty\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/astronomyplus.com\/pages\/rb-focus-warranty\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eRB Focus 2-Year Warranty\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RBFocus","offers":[{"title":"Yes \/ Yes","offer_id":68166668419301,"sku":"RBF-RBFSPW3.0-4","price":507.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Yes \/ No","offer_id":68166668452069,"sku":"RBF-RBFSPW3.0-2","price":450.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"No \/ Yes","offer_id":68166668484837,"sku":"RBF-RBFSPW3.0-3","price":459.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"No \/ No","offer_id":68166668517605,"sku":"RBF-RBFSPW3.0","price":402.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6245\/2965\/files\/78d234_8c71d965892f40ccb01ed781ca593512_mv2.avif?v=1794684618","url":"https:\/\/astronomyplus.com\/products\/rb-focus-balinor-pro%e2%84%a2-smart-powerbox-v3-0-with-usb-3-0-hub","provider":"Astronomy Plus – Telescopes \u0026 Astrophotography Canada","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
