choose the water which followed notices of 12-2. “WHEN USING AT WATER-COOLING” or
contact a Hamamatsu subsidiary or your local distributor.

Hamamatsu recommends 25 °C for Circulating water temperature.
For the appropriate temperature range of the cooling water, confirm with the instruction manual
of your circulating water cooler.
