17.11 Excessive Readout Noise

Excessive readout noise with the intensifier off indicates possible moisture accumulation in
the CCD. This should be corrected promptly or permanent damage not covered by the
Warranty could occur.
Normal camera noise is a function of the gain setting and temperature as well as CCD type,
but is typically in the range of 1-50 ADU
that typically is about 600 counts. Moisture accumulation produces a coarser noise with
many spikes  300 ADU. If these types of spikes occur, especially after the camera has been
in use for an extended period, turn off the system immediately. Have the unit serviced by
Princeton Instruments or an authorized service facility of Princeton Instruments.
