Installation

6 Installation
As the VARIOSCAN high resolution is a slow-scan system, you should
fix it for use to a tripod, carrying harness, transport carriage, or similar
support. For this, the bottom plate is provided with a 1/4"-20 mounting
thread (for setting a 3/8"-16 mounting thread remove the adapter).
Power supply
You can power the system either through power supply unit or
rechargeable battery. In addition, you can use any appropriate 12 V DC
source. When connecting it, observe correct polarisation. We
recommend you to use the rechargeable batteries available as
VARIOSCAN high resolution accessories.
Do not operate the system on a defective or insufficiently charged
battery.
Filling Dewar flask of camera head (Model 3021 only)
Caution!
When handling liquid nitrogen, observe the following safety rules:
Never store liquid nitrogen in tightly sealed containers. Keep it in
special containers fitted with a looseiy closing cap to allow any
generated gas to escape. ln this way, dangerous overpressure is
avoided. Avoid direct contact of skin or eyes with liquid nitrogen.
Otherwise serious frostbite will occur!
After filling the Dewar flask of the camera head with nitrogen, close the
filling hole again.
Take care that no foreign bodies get into the Dewar flask.
