Optec Remote IN/OUT Keypad for TCF or Gemini

For manual control of the TCF digital focusers, Optec engineers have developed the hot-swappable Remote IN/OUT Keypad . Many users find the large, original TCF-S and TCF-S3 focuser control boxes to be a bit cumbersome at the telescope. With three cables attached to the top of the electronics, the original control box can be difficult to use as a hand paddle. Most permanent installations leave the control box near the control PC or attached directly to the telescope pier or saddle plate such as when using the Paramount Mounting kit. To provide an easy-to-use manual controller, Optec offers the Remote IN/OUT Keypad for manual use at the telescope eyepiece.
