• Coolant temperature:
Refer to the temperatures specified in Technical Specifications for the specific model. Note that
cooling performance may be affected by distance between camera head and cooler.
• Recommended coolant
: water or water/glycol mix depending on the ambient environmental temperature during operation.
De-ionized water (without additives) may be used as the coolant. Some mains supply water is heavily mineralized (i.e.
“Hard”) which could cause deposits in the water circuit inside the camera. This can reduce the flow-rate and cooling
efficiency. The specified cooling performance of the camera can be achieved with
coolant flow rates of 2 litres per
minute
, the
maximum recommended pressure of coolant circulating through the camera head is 2 bar (30 PSI)
.

Notes:
•
Push-fit, barbed fittings are not intended for repeated disconnection/connection.
•
Fittings are sealed during production and should not be removed from the camera body.
1. Apply pressure and remove the tubing with a twisting motion, while holding the camera body.
2. Once disconnected, the tubing should be inspected for cracks or stretching. It may be necessary to cut the end
section of tubing so that a tight seal can be obtained.
