Specifications

The cooling performance depends on the environmental conditions and also
on the power supply. If the power supply voltage drops below 12 V, the
maximum temperature drop is lower.

Temperature difference (1) is valid for G3-1000, G3-11000, G4-9000 and
G4-16000 cameras, (2) for G3-6300 and G3-16000 cameras. Lower
difference is caused by mechanical dimensions of particular detectors,
which limit the size of the used TEC modules.
Maximum temperature difference between CCD and ambient air may
exceed 45 °C when the cooling runs at 100% power. However, temperature
cannot be regulated in such case, camera has no room for lowering the CCD
temperature when the ambient temperature rises. The 40 °C temperature
drop can be achieved with cooling running at approx. 85% power, which
provides enough room for regulation.
Power Supply
The 12 V DC power supply enables camera operation from arbitrary power
source including batteries, wall adapters etc. Universal 100-240 V AC/50-
60 Hz, 60 W “brick” adapter is supplied with the camera. Although the
camera power consumption does not exceed 55 W, the 60 W power supply
ensures noise-free operation.
Camera head supply 12 V DC
Camera head power 14 W without cooling
