19.4 CC5MPX Desiccant
The CC5MPX contains 3 small Desiccant packs inside of the camera. If the
camera is frequently opened (i.e. backplate or lens tube removed), then the
desiccant packs of the camera should be replaced yearly. Otherwise the
desiccant packs should be replaced every 2 years as preventative maintenance.
The Desiccant that is supplied with the camera is an indicating type of
desiccant. There is a small viewing window on the pack that shows the colour
of the desiccant. If the desiccant is blue, then it is still good. If the desiccant is
pink, then it is saturated with moisture.
The Desiccant packs are located under the PCB on the bottom of the camera
(see Figure 19-4 Desiccant Location). Needle nose pliers will be useful in
helping to remove and reinsert the 3 desiccant packs.
