# 2957262
€ 29.00 Price excl. German VAT tax (19%): € 24.37- Adapter cable from Steeldrive II Controller AUX Port to Cinch for common heat pads with up to 10W.
- It enables the precise temperature control of e.g. dew shield heaters, optical filters and instruments with of +/-0.1 degree accuracy via the AUX input.
- Connected directly to the Steeldrive controller
- The power can either be set in the SteelGo software, or you set a desired temperature for one of the temperature sensors. This prevents undesired heating of the telescope, because you keep the dew cap just above the dew point.

# 2957264
€ 73.00 Price excl. German VAT tax (19%): € 61.34- Metal Magnet Ring for Homing-Sensor of Steeldrive II - fitting for Baader Diamond Steeltrack® focusers
- If you have upgraded your Diamond Steeltrack® e.g. with a 2" Clicklock S58 eyepiece holder (#2956258) or if you use an adapter to a thread (T-2, M48 or M68), the Metal Magnet Ring is an alternative to the simple magnet holder which is included in the scope of delivery of the Steeldrive II (#2957165).
- The Steeldrive II motor unit features a contactless (wearfree) homing sensor (hall-effect sensor). It is activated by a magnet attached to the moving part of the focuser. It enables precise homing and repeatable approach of saved absolute positions as well as reference of the mechanical endstop.
- The Metal Magnet Ring is attached between the eyepiece clamp and the eyepiece extension. To install the magnet ring, at first you need to remove the 2" eyepiece holder or the thread adapter for e.g. T-2, M48 or M68. It must be installed parallel to the Steeldrive II.
