CM50FS Dry Air / Vacuum Pump System
The CM50FS Dry Air / Vacuum
Pump System is designed to provide
a low flow of dry air to an astro
camera system and optionally to
provide a low vacuum for vacuum
film holders. The dry air is
generated by pulling air through
silica gel packets and then pumping
it into the camera system. If vacuum
hold is also required, a hose may be
inserted into the intake port of the
CM50FS. The pump system
operates off unregulated 12VDC and
typically draws less than 0.4 A.
