1. Detailed Product Description
This listing is for one DN11 Dew-Not dew heater strip. Total length = 38"; Works for most 10" telescopes (See table below).
Proudly made in the USA by AFAB, the Dew-Not Dew Remover is a thick film
dew heater manufactured for operation at 12 volts. Sixty-six percent of the
surface area is heat emitting - this means more even heat distribution
and no localized hot spots or burnouts often associated with resistance
wire heaters.
Dew-Not dew heater strips are probably the most power-efficient product of their kind on the market today. This is important if you use batteries to power your telescope and accessories in the field. Some competing dew heater designs use a larger amount of rubber and fabric during manufacture requiring additional power to heat up these elements before any heat is transferred to your telescope. Dew-Not's efficient design is about twice as power-efficient as its nearest competitor, so your battery will last much longer.
Dew-Not strips are manufactured to very high quality standards. Each heater has a velcro strip on one side for attachment. Each heater comes with a standard six foot cord. This cord length is longer than competing designs and provides you with a lot more flexibility in placement. The standard RCA phono-plug
male connector used is compatible with Kendrick, Dew-Buster,
and most other commercially available dew system controllers.
Protected by over 30 USA and international patents (relating to
resistance heaters, methods of their manufacture, and innovative
flexible, electrical circuitry), and
carrying more than 20 years of constant improvements and enhancements,
the Dew-Not Dew Remover is the ultimate in reliability and efficiency.
AFAB has been involved in the design and manufacture of resistive heating elements for over 25 years. Dew-Not's prices are also about half that of another leading competing brand. With Dew-Not, you get an excellent product and save power and money.
Dew-Not is available for all popular sized eyepieces and telescopes. To select the right dew heater for your scope, measure the circumference of your telescope tube (or measure the tube diameter - not telescope aperture - and multiply by 3.14) and pick one of the models based on length from the table below. For in-between sizes, choose the next larger size of dew heater.
Special models are also available for use with telescope controllers (DN16) and binoviewers (DN17). The Binoview binoviewer model is comprised of two eyepiece-sized 6" strips in tandem coupled with a 4" long Y-wire to a single
RCA plug. The Binoview is the ultimate binoviewer optic dew remover.
We also sell an optional Cigarette Lighter Adapter that will allow you to power the dew heater from a 12 volt power source.
For controlling several Dew-Not strips from a single source, or to vary the power output, you can consider the optional Dew-Not Dual Channel Controller.

2.1 Payment and Shipping Methods
- We only accept PayPal and major credit cards (Visa, MC, American Express, Discover) through PayPal.
- All orders are shipped via US Postal Service (USPS) only.
2.2 Checkout
- Please pay within 5 calendar days after you commit to buy. After 7 days, our software will automatically start the eBay cancelation process if payment is not received.
2.3 Combining Multiple Items
- You can combine shipping for items purchased from our listings on eBay within 3 days. To get combined shipping, first purchase your items, and then check out and pay for all items together via eBay in one transaction. eBay will combine the shipping weights and show you the discounted shipping cost. You must check out for all items together via eBay for this. We cannot combine shipping costs after you check out individually for your purchases. Please check the eBay FAQ/Help sections if you are not sure how to check out and pay for several items together.
2.4 Sales Tax
- 9.75% sales tax will be added to all orders shipped to a California address.
3.1 Shipping
- Orders weighing 13 oz. or less can be shipped via USPS First Class or Priority Mail. Orders weighing more than 13 oz. are shipped via USPS Priority Mail.
- Most orders ship on the next business day (excludes weekends and holidays) after payment is received.
- You will receive an automatic shipping notification email as soon as your order ships along with your delivery confirmation (tracking) number.
3.2 Delivery Time
- First Class Mail takes 4-7 business days to arrive after we ship your package. Priority Mail takes 3-5 business days.
- These are typical delivery times and are NOT guaranteed by the US Postal Service. In shipping thousands of orders over 7+ years, our experience is that about 95% of orders arrive within this timeline. However, delays of up to 2-3 weeks can occur sometimes, even for Priority Mail service.
- Please contact us if you have not received your first class package in 3 weeks, or your priority mail package in 2 weeks, and we will work with you to resolve the issue.
3.3 Order Tracking / Delivery Confirmation
- USPS Delivery Confirmation (tracking) is included for all US shipments and this number will be sent to you when your order ships. This serves as proof of mailing and provides very basic tracking information via USPS's website. However, the USPS is not as prompt or detailed as UPS/Fedex, and can take several says to update this information on their site.
- If you are unable to track the package using the information we provide even after 2-3 days, the USPS scanning systems may have missed scanning your package, especially on small boxes. This happens in about 15-20% of the cases, and you may see a message indicating that "the USPS was notified of the shipment, but this does not indicate receipt by the USPS or the actual mailing date." Rest assured that your package has shipped and will arrive in a few days, even though USPS may not be tracking it.
4.1 Shipping Cost, Handling Fees, and Processing Time
- To determine your shipping choices and shipping cost for this item, please go to the "Shipping and Payments" section near the top of this page and select your country from the drop-down list. eBay will calculate your actual USPS shipping costs for this item.
- For all international orders, we charge an additional handling fee equal to 3% of the purchase price of the item(s). This will be added to your order total when you check out.
-
Most orders ship on the next business day (excludes weekends and holidays) after payment is received.
- You will receive an automatic shipping notification email as soon as your order ships.
4.2 Shipping Choices, Order Tracking, and Delivery Time
- You will have the following shipping service choices:
(1) USPS First Class International: Delivery takes about 3 weeks after we ship your package. This can often take 4-6 weeks to several countries. There is no tracking for First Class shipments. The USPS provides a customs form number which just shows the date on which the package was prepared and when it was delivered. This is not tracking, as many people incorrectly believe, and even this very basic information is not updated for several days.
(2) USPS Priority Mail International: Delivery takes 1 - 2 weeks after we ship your package. This can sometimes take 3-4 weeks to several countries. The USPS provides some basic tracking information for a few (not all) countries with Priority shipping.
(3) USPS Express Mail International: Delivery usually takes 5-8 business days after we ship your package. You will receive a tracking number with which you can track your shipment from USPS.com. Note: If you use this option, you must send us your phone number when you check-out or else your shipment will be delayed. This is required for international postal forms.
- These are typical delivery times and are NOT guaranteed by the US Postal Service. Delays of several weeks can sometimes occur. The most common reason for delays is slow customs inspection and clearance in your country, and can be very long, even for Express mail packages. In most cases, customs clearance takes 1-3 days, but can sometimes take 7-10 days. We have even seen this take 30 days for an Express Mail shipment once. Upon shipping your order, delivery delays are beyond our control, so please do not leave us negative feedback for this reason.
4.3 Customs and Duties
- You might be subject to import duties and taxes, which are levied once the package reaches your country. Additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by you; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. Customs policies vary widely from country to country. You should contact your local customs office for further information.
5.1 14-Day Money Back Guarantee
- If you are not 100% satisfied with your purchase, simply ship the item back in new, unused condition within 14 days of receiving it.
-
US customers will be given a full refund of the purchase price of the item. International customers will be given store credit only.
5.2 Return/Exchange Policy
- You must ship the returned items within 14 days of receiving it. No returns can be accepted after this period. Please contact us first before sending any items back.
- All items must be in new (mint), resellable condition and must not show any evidence of use or wear, dirt, or blemishes of any kind. Items must be returned in their original packaging and should include all supplied materials and accessories provided. Please handle the received items very carefully with all original packaging until you are sure you will keep the item.
- If the item shows signs of use or abuse, a restocking fee will be deducted depending on the condition of the returned item.
- You will be responsible for all return shipping costs and for ensuring that the return package reaches us safely. Shipping/insurance costs paid to send the item to you are not refundable.
- We request that you use due care and diligence to be certain that you want the product you are ordering. Ensure that the item you order will fit on or work with your telescope before ordering it. Ask us for any information or help you may need before the sale. Take advantage of the internet and research the product online. This is especially important for selecting eyepieces (especially wide angle ones) that will work well with your telescope, or for diagonals/barlows/focal reducers that require additional focus travel.
5.3 Contacting Us
- Please use the "Ask a Question" link above to contact us. We respond to ALL inquiries by the next business day. If you do not hear from us within 2 days please check your spam/junk folder and contact us via eBay again if necessary.
