The requirements for the water-cooling system are as follows:
Table 8 – Cooling system recommendations
Parameter Value Unit
Recommended cooling fluid temperature 20 °C
Recommended cooling output at 20°C 120 W
Minimum pump flow > 2 L/min
Maximum pressure 10 bars
Male Staubli CBI03 connectors
Heat is evacuated by circulating a cooling fluid through two rears connectors (G1/8, 10 mm thread).
With the cooling pack, two male connectors (Staubli CBI03) and compatible mating connectors
mounted on flexible houses are provided.
Distilled water or deionized water can be used if liquid temperature is > 5°C. For lower temperatures,
ethylen glycol is advised. Please check the recommendations of your cooling system.
To avoid leaks, make sure that the cooling system is correctly connected before turning on
the chiller. Water will damage the camera.

Thermal performances
The table below sums up the performances that can be expected from the camera with the different
thermal management options available.
The achievable sensor temperature range is improved when using LEMO® power connector because
more power is available (60W with LEMO® against 26W for PoCXP).
Due to the limited power available when the camera is powered using PoCXP, the regulation of the
sensor to 10°C may not be possible, depending on the environmental conditions of the camera. In this
case, either increase the sensor temperature setpoint, or use the dedicated external power supply.
