For liquid-cooled cameras, the CoolCUBE
II
circulator provides a vibration-free method of
heat removal.

Circulator
Perform the following procedure to connect a PI-MAX4 to a CoolCUBE
II
circulator:
1. Make sure the camera and the circulator power switches are turned off.
2.
Make sure the circulator is 6 inches (150 mm) or more below the camera. The vertical
distance should not exceed 10 feet (3 m.) Typically, the camera is at table height and the
circulator is on the floor.
3.
Make the coolant connections between the circulator and the camera. It does not matter
which hose from the circulator is plugged into a coolant port on the camera.
4.
It is recommended that hoses be secured to the camera hose barbs with the clamp
supplied.
NOTES:
1. Verify that there are no kinks in the hoses that impede the
coolant flow. Lack of sufficient flow can seriously harm
the camera and any resulting damage is not covered under
warranty.
2. Damage caused by water leaking into the camera voids the
warranty.
5. Unscrew the reservoir cap (on top of the CoolCUBE
II
) and make sure that the coolant
reservoir contains coolant. If additional coolant is required, fill with a 50:50 mixture of
water and ethylene glycol.
6. Screw the reservoir cap back in.
