CM50FS Dry Air / Vacuum Pump System
The CM50FS Dry Air / Vacuum
Pump System is designed to provide
a low flow of dry air to an astro
camera system and optionally to
provide a low vacuum for vacuum
film holders. The dry air is
generated by pulling air through
silica gel packets and then pumping
it into the camera system. If vacuum
hold is also required, a hose may be
inserted into the intake port of the
CM50FS. The pump system
operates off unregulated 12VDC and
typically draws less than 0.4 A.
Configuring Your System
While the CM50FS may be
immediately used by attaching
its output to the camera or
telescope system air intake, it
is best to first route the air
hoses properly along the
telescope mount and tube.
Take care to insure that an
adequate length is provided
and that the tubing is not
kinked and will not be
snagging on anything no
matter how the mount is
positioned.
