One is to ensure that the inside of the window does not fog with cold temperatures. Internal Camera heaters usually maintain the faceplate temperature above the dew point, but in ex- treme cold conditions a Camera with internal moisture could still fog up. Also, zoom lenses can absorb moisture be- tween lens elements in high humidity condi- tions.

4.1.1 Schrader Valve A Schrader valve is used to pressurize the housing with dry nitrogen. 4.1.2 Pressure Relief Valve The 20 psi pressure relief valve is used to limit the maximum pressure inside the camera head. IMPORTANT: Due to high temperature, high altitude, or etc the pressure inside the camera may increase. The pressure relief valve opens when pressure rises above 20 psi (138 kPa), allowing excess internal pressure to bleed off.
