The Pocket Powerbox Advance, or PPBADV for short, represents a noteworthy addition to our esteemed Powerbox product series. Positioned strategically between the Pocket Powerbox Micro and the Ultimate Powerbox v2/3, it is engineered to offer enhanced capabilities, including a USB3 Hub that can accommodate up to four USB ports.
A robust MOSFET transistor serves as the reliable power source for your valuable equipment. It provides electricity to four outputs, with the capability to switch on/off all 12V outputs simultaneously, offering a unified control over your power distribution.
This single channel can provide up to 10Amps of current to all ports. Current is shared among the 4 x 12V ports
A high-precision voltmeter is integrated into the device, providing real-time measurement and display of your input voltage. In the event that the input voltage exceeds 14.5V, the system swiftly activates a power cutoff mechanism to safeguard your valuable equipment from potential damage.
The device features an adjustable output, designed to supply power to a range of devices, including DSLR and Mirrorless cameras, as well as Raspberry Pi 3/4/5. The voltage can be precisely tuned to various levels, including 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, and 12 Volts, ensuring compatibility with a variety of equipment. Additionally, we offer an extensive selection of battery couplers tailored to Canon, Nikon, Sony, FUJI cameras, and more for your convenience.
Amp-meter placement after the DC input allows for the reporting of the total electric current, providing a comprehensive overview of power usage. In addition, three additional amp-meters are integrated into the system. One is dedicated to the 12V outputs, while two are designated for the Dew Heater Channels. This arrangement offers the convenience of monitoring both detailed and overall power consumption for your equipment.
The powerbox has been designed to deliver a substantial electric current output of up to 12 Amps. It’s worth noting that a typical backyard astrophotography setup typically demands a range of 5-7 Amps for efficient operation.
A powered USB3 Hub at the back of the device provides:
The new SuperSpeed hubs operate in parallel with the USB 2.0 controller, so 5 Gbps SuperSpeed data transfers are not affected by slower USB 2.0 traffic.|
USB Port Configuration under PPBADV Gen2
* Older product revision (Gen1) had only 3 out of 4 USB Ports that were compatible to USB2 devices. For detailed information please check the product manual.
USB Port 1 provides up to 3Amps of current. You can connect any device that requires 5V. E.g a Raspberry PI 3/4 or Intel Compute Stick M3/M5 can receive power from this specific port.
EXT (expansion) port is available for device expansion. This RJ12 socket allows the connectivity of eXternal Motor Control or Environmental Sensor.
The electronics of the Pocket Powerbox Advance are securely nestled within a sturdy, high-quality enclosure crafted from durable blue anodized aluminum.
Size is 100mm x 71mm x 24mm. Weights 250 grams.
