UltraVac
is Andors proprietary vacuum technology that provides a permanent, hermetically sealed enclosure (without
O-rings) for the sensor. This ensures maximum cooling performance, with a reliability proven through years of use in
Andor cameras such as the iXon EMCCD, iKon and Newton series- the Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) value is >
100 years.
Outgassing is minimized through assembly in a state of the art facility, with a stringent protocol and use of proprietary
materials (Outgassing is the release of trapped gasses that would otherwise degrade cooling performance and
potentially cause sensor failure). UltraVac also features a single camera window for the best optical performance. For
more information about our UltraVac technology, please visit our website and view the technical article on
UltraVac .

1. The documentation supplied by the shutter manufacturer will show whether your shutter opens at a High or a
Low TTL level.
2. If a shutter is fitted but not required
for the experiment then set it to
Permanently OPEN and Time To
Close = 0. This will allow the system
to operate at its optimum rate. If a
background is required then close the
shutter using Permanently Closed, Take
Background and reopen.
3. The shutter pulse is not capable of
driving a shutter. It is only a 5V pulse
designed to trigger TTL & CMOS
compatible shutter drivers. Also there is
no shutter pulse during the Take Signal
and Take Reference data acquisitions.
For further shutter and trigger mode operation
information please refer to your camera control
software e.g. Solis or SDK2.
