Service Temperature and Humidity of Camera The internal space of CCD camera is relatively airtight. If dew forms on the surface of CCD chip, this indicates Service Temperature of QHY10/12 is from -20C/- that there is higher relative humidity in the CCD 4F to +30C/86F. - Page 7 QHY10/12 is from -15℃ to - CCD. Then air will flow out from the gap between 20℃. Please adjust cooling temperature according the unscrewed front cover of CCD and the body of to the ambient temperature.
