• Coolant temperature: Refer to the temperatures specified in Technical Specifications for the specific model. 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. The specified cooling performance of the camera can be achieved with coolant flow rates of 2 litres per
minute, the maximum recommended pressure of coolant circulating through the camera head is 2 bar (30 PSI).
