4.2 Physical Interface
To be completed.
4.3 Power Consumption
Unit input power specification is +12V DC +/- 0.5V with <3W power dissipation when the
TEC is disabled. An additional 5W may be required if the full drive to the TEC is required.
This will be dependent on environmental conditions and the TEC temperature set point.
The set point for the TEC cooling is +15 °C. The TEC power is automatically adjusted to try
and achieve the set point temperature, with a limit of approx. 5W drive. For low ambient
temperatures or with additional heat sinking, less than 5W may be applied to the TEC to
achieve the set point. In an ambient of 25°C with adequate heat sinking, less than 1W is
typically required to maintain the +15°C set point.
On power up, the peak power due to inrush current will be less than 10 Watts.
4.4 Mounting to a Microscope
The camera has a standard C-mount that should easily screw onto any microscope port.
4.5 Mounting to a Tripod or Optical Table
The camera has a ¼-20 BSW (Whitworth) threaded hole to mount to a tripod or an optical
table.
