The TEC cooling system of the SV605CC camera can precisely control the
temperature of the sensor. Different from the traditional CCD, the SV605CC
camera has ultra-low readout noise, efficient cooling and adjustable gain. It is no
longer necessary to use ultra-long exposures to capture targets, which greatly
reduces the requirements for the camera system and guide star system.
However, if short exposures are used (e.g. less than 100ms), cooling has little
effect on the image. The cooling system can be set to a minimum of 35~40°C
below the ambient temperature (Tested based on ambient temperature of 30°C).
Please note that the maximum temperature difference may fluctuate after
pro-longed use. Meanwhile, when the ambient temperature decreases, the
cooling temperature difference will also decrease accordingly. The figure below
is the dark current curve of the SV605CC sensor between -20°C and 35°C.
7.4 AR Coating Filter
The SV605CC camera sensor is equipped with a protective window and uses an
AR coated filter.
8. Store and General Clean
Protect the Refrigerator
Thermal shock should be avoided when using the camera. The so-called
thermal shock refers to the internal strong stress that the refrigerator has to bear
due to the principle of thermal expansion and contraction when the temperature
of the refrigerator suddenly rises or falls. Severe thermal shock can shorten the
life of the cooler or even damage it completely. Therefore, when you start using
