Eps School Supply List

My special 12v Power supply had a single EPS 8 pin, the Dual Xeon board required 2 x 8 pin - I tried dual Molex to 8 pin it smoked and damaged the Power Supply, LP4 to 8 pin didnt work, the only adapter that works is this EPS48ADAP brought them in from the UK thankfully they are now here in Australia

This thing is awesome! Does everything I need it to do. One thing to be aware of - it DOES come with a power supply, even though it's not listed in the What's In The Box list.

I didn't know what these were for when I bought it, I just bought what was on my class supply list. I think it was a little pricy, but it works great and I do like having different colored sides.

Excellent for dubbing and converting old tapes to EPs.

Use adapter with my EPS background projector. Enables almost perfect alignment almost instantly.

It is number 10 on my list.

Very useful , must have in your gear list.

After doing some research and collecting information, I reached out to customer service with my exact needs. The CSR provided some guidance as well as a formula for determining size. This was very helpful as I could plug my own numbers into the formula and determine minimal, maximum, and acceptable levels of risk protection. I went with the River Pro mainly because of expandability in the event long term power outage or if another item was needed. This system plugged in and is set as an emergency power supply to my sump pump. Upon testing, I have determined that their formula and my device are paired well for a overnight or day long power outage. Things to consider is your sump pump power (wattage) and if you want emergency power or battery backup power. If connected as EPS, the external battery cannot be attached. If used as BPS, then the external battery can be used, but you must place it into operation. Having it as EPS and the extra battery allows me peace of mind at the onset of power outage, and extended run once set up as a BPS.

The Paradigm EPs provide a lot of competition to this, but I thought the greater eye relief, less 'blinky' eye placement, and slightly better field edges with an F5 scope were worth it. I like the eyecup adjusment and the fact that you can easily screw it off to clean the eye lens well...that's a very thoughtful touch. Same contrast as the Paradigms, which is to say: excellent.

Works great on a Vintage Early 80's Celestron C8, all my EPs and Barlows are TeleVue so it's great I can use all my TeleVue gear on my SCT. Only thing is I wish it came with a cap so I could leave it on my OTA all the time.
