As can be seen above, there is a CCD temperature monitoring window at the right
hand side of the panel. At switch-on, this will default to full power cooling with an
end point of -40C (actual chip temperature) and, needless to say, this is rather
extreme. I recommend changing the set point to about -10C for normal use, but
you can go much colder if you are imaging during the winter months. Under indoor
conditions, the low airflow will limit the cooling capability, and you should use a set
point of no lower than -5C for stable cooling. You can determine the optimum
settings for your camera and ambient conditions when you have some experience
of using the system, but do not try to operate at extreme cooling when the air
temperature is high. Connecting and using the external fan unit will improve the
cooling by at least -5C and can give as much as -10C extra delta T. It is connected by
using the 'Y' lead provided in the camera component set, as below:
