Chapter 3 Cooling the Detector 19
Detector loses Temperature Lock
The internal temperature of the detector is too high. This might occur if the operating
environment is particularly warm or if you are attempting to operate at a temperature
colder than the specified limit. If this happens, an internal thermal overload switch will
disable the cooler circuits to protect them. Typically, detector operation is restored in
about ten minutes. Although the thermal overload switch will protect the detector, users
are advised to power down and correct the operating conditions that caused the thermal
overload to occur. With some versions of the software, the
indicated
temperature when
the camera is in thermal overload (thermal switch is in the cut-out state) is -120° C.
