Camera Description And Start Up - First Alert C-RED 2 Quick Start Manual

7. CAMERA DESCRIPTION AND START UP

Please refer to the following figure and follow the order listed below, before connecting your camera:
Cooling (1)
The camera can be air cooled or liquid cooled (no liquid nitrogen).
By default, the camera activates its fan.
Air cooling allows to cool the detector down to nominal -15°C with a maximum room temperature of 35°C.
Air cooling is ensured by the fan, and the fan speed can be controlled in automatic mode or manual mode.
With the following conditions liquid cooling (1) allows to cool the detector down to nominal -40°C (for C-RED
2 and C-RED 2 ER 1.9µm) or – 55°C (for C-RED 2 ER 2.2µm).
Water cooling with water at 35°C requires the fan to run a little bit, even at minimum speed.

First Light Imaging recommends using Loctite 577 thread sealant.
The cooling hoses can be fastened in any order.
When connecting the cooling unit, please make sure that there is no water spraying on the
connectors or the camera
After turning on the cooling unit, please check that no leaks are visible.
