• Coolant temperature:
Refer to the temperatures specified in Technical Specifications. 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)
.
NOTE: The water cooling system of the camera is rated to 6 bar (600 kPa). If your water supply exceeds this
value, then an overpressure safety device or regulator must be fitted to restrict the water pressure to less than or
equal to this rating.

1. Press the hose insert into the coolant hose, and repeat for the second hose.
2. Press the hose connectors into the connections on the camera head, ensure they click into place.
3. Confirm the hoses are connected securely by applying pressure on the front of the camera body and pulling
backwards on each hose.
4. Connect the other ends of the coolant hoses to the cooling system- refer to the cooling system manual.

1. Press the latch on the camera hose connection away from the hose.
2. Hold the latch in and pull the hose backwards.
3. The hose should release from the camera connection with little resistance.
NOTE: If the hose does not release, ensure that the latch on the camera connection is pressed in fully.
