Connecting Camera to Chiller
If using a chiller, the water tubing simply needs connected from the camera water connectors to the
chiller connecters, as shown in the image below. You will hear a click which indicates a solid
connection. The polarity of the tubing connections does not matter.
Please consult the Ninox 1280 data sheet for a list of recommended re-circulators and tubing
accessories required. The set-up is as follows:
•
Connect the cooling pipes and tubes to the from the Chiller to the camera.
•
Fill the chiller with the liquid, filling to the bottom of the neck.
•
Switch on the circulator; you will now see bubbles traveling along the tubing.
•
Wait for the bubbles to bleed into the reservoir, top up the reservoir as required. You should tilt
the camera side to side to ensure there are no bubbles remaining in the camera.
•
Click “Start” to begin circulating water.
•
Now set the Temperature set point on the circulator. For the Ninox 1280 camera, 20°C is
preferred.
WARNING: Please ensure the temperature set point of the re-circulator is above your ambient dew
point, otherwise condensation can form around the sensor package and cause damage.
Disassembly and draining:
•
Disconnect all the tubing from the camera and re-circulator.
•
The camera and tubes should be drained by holding the adaptor with the tubing above the
camera.
