Making the Camera-Circulator Connections for a CoolCUBE
II
For liquid-cooled cameras, the CoolCUBE
II
circulator provides a
vibration-free method of heat removal.
1. Make sure the camera and the circulator power switches are
turned off.
2. Make sure the circulator is 6 inches (150 mm) or more below
the camera. The vertical distance should not exceed 10 feet
(3 m). Typically, the camera is at table height and the
circulator is on the floor.
3. Make the coolant connections between the circulator and the camera. It does not
matter which hose from the circulator is plugged into a coolant port on the camera.
4. It is recommended that hoses be secured to the camera hose barbs with the clamp
supplied.
Notes:
1. Make sure that there are no kinks in the hoses that impede the coolant flow. Lack
of sufficient flow can seriously harm the camera and any resulting damage is not
covered under warranty.
2. Damage caused by water leaking into the ProEM+ voids the warranty.
5. Unscrew the reservoir cap (on top of the CoolCUBE
II
) and make
sure that the coolant reservoir contains coolant. If additional
coolant is required, fill with a 50:50 mixture of water and ethylene
glycol.
6. Screw the reservoir cap back in.
7. Plug the circulator into a 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz power source.
8. Turn the circulator on. Make sure there are no leaks or air bubbles in the hoses.
Note: Small air bubbles (about the size of bubbles in soda) are common in the
CoolCUBE
II
especially at start up and do not prevent proper operation.
a. If there are no problems, continue to Step 9.
b. If there are leaks or air bubbles, turn the circulator off and correct the problem(s)
by securing the hoses or adding more coolant to the reservoir. Turn the circulator
back on. Recheck and if there are no problems, continue to Step 9.
9. Turn the camera on.
10. Start the application software.
