Thank you for choosing our products
If you are tired of carrying multiple power packs and dealing with a mess of power and data cables, Pegasus Ultimate Powerbox
is the absolute solution. Our idea is one enclosure that makes available a sufficient number of amperes. No cables disturb the
movements of the mount and the instrument, only the main power cord and one USB data cord comes to the Ultimate
Powerbox from which branch off the other cables powering all devices.
Operating Instructions
•
Plug the external environmental sensor, your stepper motor, the 12V DC power cables and USB cables to the device.
•
Plug the power supply (battery or power pack) into the 2.5mm socket. Please notice that the device supports 12V DC,
2-20 Amps power supply only.
•
Device will boot after three seconds and the red indication LED will blink three times. This means that firmware was
loaded successfully and the
“
Ultimate Powerbox
”
is now fully operational.
•
Default settings provide 12V DC to all four outputs. Dew Heater outputs are off after boot.
•
Download software and manual from

, follow installation and connect to the device.
Place the
“
Ultimate Powerbox
”
on the dovetail of your telescope / mount. We strongly recommend to follow this kind of
approach and have the device near your telescope. Power cable length is adequate to connect all of your equipment to the
powerbox. Finally, only two cables are leaving your mount. (3m USB data cable and the power cable).

the “Ultimate Powerbox”
