Optional Use of the Desiccant Plug
For exceptionally humid environments, constant use of the TEC can attract moisture inside the camera
and may require installing the included Desiccant Plug to keep the chamber inside the camera dry.
1. Carefully remove the flathead screw from the side of the camera body. Do not lose this screw! Also, do
not leave chamber exposed, otherwise dust and moisture can enter the camera.
2. Thread the Desiccant Plug into the camera body so that it's finger tight. Ensure that the rubber O-ring
on the desiccant plug is in place to form a seal.
The desiccant plug may occasionally need to be removed and dried out to keep the inside of the camera
free of moisture. When necessary, place the desiccant (only) in an oven or incubator at 200ºF (93ºC) for 2
hours. Note this typically is not necessary unless the camera is constantly operated in a very humid envi-
ronment, to the point where moisture or frost appears inside of the optical window of the camera.
