The Newton can use either air cooling, or optional liquid cooling for deep cooling.

• Before attempting to remove the coolant hoses, ensure that all coolant has been drained from the hoses and
integral coolant channel within the camera head.
• Care must be taken to avoid permanent damage to the camera system resulting from either leakage of
coolant during connection/removal of hoses or spillage of any residual coolant contained within the camera
head once the hoses have been removed.
• Always ensure that the temperature of the liquid coolant circulated through the camera head is above the
d
ew point of the camera ambient temperature and humidity conditions. Refer to the Dew Point graph in
Appendix C for guidance.
•
Use of coolant at or below the dew point can result in permanent damage to the camera head, due to
formation of condensation on internal components.
• When using a liquid cooling system it is recommended that an overpressure device is fitted to avoid
leaks that may find their way to the mains electricity supply and create a hazard.
•
Never use damaged, split or worn hoses.
• The coolant connectors are factory fitted and sealed, they cannot be removed.
• Always remove residual coolant from the camera head if the camera is to be stored after operation-
especially if the storage conditions are below the freezing point of the coolant.

There are two cooling hose connectors that are located on the top plate of the camera for connection of the Newton to
a water cooler, or re-circulator system. One end is inserted into the camera body, the other end is barbed for push-fit
connection to suitable tubing.
• Coolant Hose Connectors:
Two push-fit hose connectors are factory fitted and sealed, suitable for connection
to 6 mm [0.25”] internal diameter soft PVC tubing / hose
• Recommended tubing
: 10 mm [0.4”] outside diameter, i.e. a wall thickness of 2 mm [0.08”]. Alternative hose
dimensions and materials should be thoroughly tested to ensure a leak tight seal is achieved with the barbed
connectors.
