5.5 Connect PI-MAX3 to CoolCUBE
II
For liquid-cooled PI-MAX3 cameras, the CoolCUBE
II
circulator provides a vibration-free
method of heat removal. Figure 5-3 illustrates a typical CoolCUBE
II
circulator.

II
Coolant Circulator
Perform the following procedure to connect the PI-MAX3 to the CoolCUBE
II
:
1. Verify the camera and circulator power switches are turned off.
2. Verify the circulator is a minimum of 6 inches [150 mm] below the PI-MAX3.
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 which coolant
port on the camera.
It is recommended that hoses be secured to the camera hose barbs with the clamp
supplied.
NOTES:
1. Verify there are no kinks in the hoses that impede the
coolant flow. Lack of sufficient flow can seriously harm
the detector and any resulting damage is not covered
under warranty.
2. Damage caused by water leaking into the PI-MAX3 voids
the warranty.
4. Unscrew the reservoir cap on top of the CoolCUBE
II
and verify that the coolant
reservoir contains coolant.
If additional coolant is required, fill with a 50:50 mixture of water and ethylene
glycol.
5. Replace the reservoir cap on the CoolCUBE
II
.
6. Plug the CoolCUBE
II
into a 100-240 V
AC
, 47-63 Hz power source.
