Kuro sCMOS Camera System Manual

Issue 2

9. Plug-in the cooler and turn it on.
10. Look through the clear cover on the coolant reservoir to observe the liquid level 

and confirm circulation.

NOTE:

The liquid surface will appear agitated with normal 
circulation.

11. Turn on the camera power and continue the setup per Quick Start Guide.
12. Use Software to set the camera fan speed to OFF. DO NOT turn off the camera fan 

without liquid circulating.

NOTE:

There is no temperature adjustment on the unit.
