9.5 Thermoelectric Cooling (TEC)
The “TEC” tab gives the user control over the cooling of the camera sensor. By default, the
TEC will be disabled. When the TEC is enabled, the Eagle XV can cool to -80
ͦ
C with liquid
cooling.
Liquid cooling must be used when using the TEC. This is needed to dissipate heat
away from the hot side of the TEC. Do not enable the TEC if liquid cooling is not being
used, otherwise damage to the camera will occur.
The sensor temperature can also be read back by clicking
“Update Temp”.
The current
sensor temperature is then displayed in the
“Sensor Temp”
box. The TEC tab is shown in
Figure 20.
