Kendrick Secondary Heater (1.25" Stalk)

This heater is a formed, flexible heater that wraps around the stalk of the secondary mirror stalk. As there is no way to put a heater behind these types of secondary mirrors, this heater must be wrapped around the stalk. The heater then heats the stalk, which in turn heats the secondary mirror.

The heater wires can be taped down against one of the spider vanes (we recommend black electrical tape for this) and the heater wires terminate in a male RCA connector.

The wattage rating is 4 watts (.33 amps). This is fairly high for a heater of this type but this is necessary because the heater is exposed. Wrapping the heater with an insulating material will substantially reduce the power requirements of the heater. Depending on which Kendrick controller you are using you can reduce the amp hour draw of these heaters to almost nothing. Your observing environment will determine what setting you must use.
