CCD chip cooling
Thermoelectric (Peltier modules)
Maximal cooling ΔT
>50 °C below ambient
Regulated cooling ΔT
48 °C below ambient (85% cooling)
Regulation precision
±0.1 °C
Hot side cooling
Forced air cooling (fan)
Maximum temperature difference between CCD and ambient air may
be reached when the cooling runs at 100% power. However,
temperature cannot be regulated in such case, camera has no room
for lowering the CCD temperature when the ambient temperature
rises. Typical temperature drop can be achieved with cooling running
at approx. 85% power, which provides enough room for regulation.
Power supply
The 12 V DC power supply enables camera operation from arbitrary power
source including batteries, wall adapters etc. Universal 100-240 V AC/50-
60 Hz, 60 W “brick” adapter is supplied with the camera. Although the
camera power consumption does not exceed 55 W, the 60 W power supply
ensures noise-free operation.
Warning:
The power connector on the camera head uses center-plus pin.
Although all modern power supplies use this configuration, always
make sure the polarity is correct if you use own power source.
