Motorise your Dome shutters - automated shutters avoid manual operation in the dark, and is a vital step towards full remote operation of your observatory.

Designed for the Pulsar 2.7 metre dome only.

Adaptable to custom built observatories.

Specification:

The shutter controller requires 12V DC power (at a current suitable for the motors employed) to operate the shutter motors. Power to the unit is controlled via the three-position switch with the central position being off. The dome shutter is controlled by moving the three-position switch to the open or close positions. To stop the shutter operation at any time, move the three-position switch to the off position. The sliding shutter and swinging flap operate sequentially with the shutter motor operating before the flap motor during opening and the reverse during closing. It is recommended that the unit is switched to the off position when not in use.
