Chapter 4 System Setup 29
• Inlet/Outlet Port Locations
VCR male fittings (or Swagelok fittings for earlier systems) and flexible stainless
steel hoses are provided to make the hose connections between the camera
and an intermediate vacuum flange. The ports are not interchangeable.
• Coolant Temperature
+10°C to +15°C, typical.
WARNING!
If a lower temperature is set, there can be condensation on
the external tubing or if the camera is being used outside of
a vacuum chamber, condensation may occur on or inside
the camera. Damage due to condensation may not be
covered by the warranty.
4.3.4 Power
• Camera
The PI-MTE camera receives its power from the controller, which in turn plugs
into a source of AC power.
• ST-133:
The ST-133 Controller can operate from any one of four different nominal line
voltages: 100, 120, 220, or 240 V AC. Refer to the Fuse/Voltage label on the
back of the ST-133 for fuse, voltage, and power consumption information.
The plug on the power cord supplied with the system should be compatible
with the line-voltage outlets in common use in the region to which the system
is shipped. If the power cord plug is incompatible, a compatible plug should be
installed, taking care to maintain the proper polarity to protect the equipment
and assure user safety.
