Component Explanation
Power button The power button does not operate like a traditional on/off switch.
•TheSky Fusion is booted each time the external power cable is plugged in. In
this case, there is no need to click the power on/off button. The boot process
takes about one minute before TheSky Imaging Edition is ready to use.
•When the unit is powered on and initialized, pressing, and releasing the power
button initiates the unit’s shut down procedure and then turns the power off.
•Power can be restored by either plugging the external power cable or pressing
and releasing the power button.
Power input port •A power cable that ends with a Powerpole connector is required to power to
TheSky Fusion’s power input port (24).
Power output
ports
•The power port numbering sequence shown in the diagram matches the order
on TheSky’s Power Control window (shown below).
•Ports 6 and 7 can be configured to provide power using pulse-width modulation
(PWM) for dew heaters.
•The power out ports are turned off by default. Use TheSky Imaging Edition’s
Power Control to turn the devices on and off, configure the external LED status,
power port startup state, and pulse-width modulation settings.
