Optec Optional External Temperature Probe Kit (19539)

Optec Optional External Temperature Probe Kit

Though the QuickSync motors include an on-board temperature probe for measuring ambient temperature changes, many purists prefer the measurement be made directly at the telescope OTA.  To satisfy this requirement the #19539 External Temperature Probe Kit is available.

For users of the original Microtouch motors which do not include an on-board temperature, the #19539 External Temperature Probe Kit can provide the sensor for Temperature Compensation (TC) which would not otherwise be available.
