Fan: Air-cooled cameras contain an internal fan. Its purpose is:


An internal Peltier device directly cools the cold finger on which the CCD is
mounted. The air drawn into the camera by the internal fan through the back slots on
the side panels and exhausted through the front slots on the side panels then removes
the heat produced by the Peltier device. The fan is always in operation and air-
cooling of both the Peltier and the internal electronics takes place continuously. The
fan is designed for low-vibration and does not adversely affect the image. For the fan
to function properly, free circulation must be maintained between the sides of the
camera and the laboratory atmosphere.
Coolant Ports: The camera coolant ports (located on side of the camera) are not
labeled. This is because coolant can flow through the camera in either direction. As is
the case with circulating air (see above), circulating coolant removes the heat
produced by the Peltier device. This means of heat removal is designed for vibration-
free data acquisition. For the circulating coolant to function properly, free air
circulation must be maintained between the sides of the CoolCUBE
laboratory atmosphere. Use only the hoses and circulator shipped with your system.
Attaching any other hoses or circulator voids the warranty

PIXIS-XB Power Supply

The receptacle on the power supply should be compatible with the line-voltage line cords
in common use in the region to which the system is shipped. If the power supply
receptacle is incompatible, a compatible adapter should be installed on the line cord,
taking care to maintain the proper polarity to protect the equipment and assure user
safety.
