Hose inserts are provided to enable connection to coolant hoses.
• Coolant Hose Inserts:
Two barbed coolant hose inserts (replacement part
6MM-HOSE-BARBS
) are supplied as
standard, suitable for connection to 6 mm [0.25”] internal diameter soft PVC tubing / hose.
• Recommended tubing
: 10 mm [0.4”] outside diameter, i.e. a wall thickness of 2 mm [0.08”]. Alternative hose
dimensions and materials should be thoroughly tested to ensure a leak tight seal is achieved with the barbed
inserts.

• Coolant temperature:
Refer to the temperatures specified in Technical Specifications. Note that cooling performance
may be affected by distance between camera head and cooler.
• Recommended coolant
: water or water/glycol mix depending on the ambient environmental temperature during operation.
De-ionized water (without additives) may be used as the coolant. Some mains supply water is heavily mineralized (i.e.
“Hard”) which could cause deposits in the water circuit inside the camera. This can reduce the flow-rate and cooling
efficiency.
NOTE: The liquid cooling system of the camera is rated to 2 bar (200 kPa). If your water supply exceeds this
value, then an overpressure safety device or regulator must be fitted to restrict the water pressure to less than or
equal to this rating.
