Identification

4.1 Product description and type designation
The solid construction of this housing makes it suitable for heavy-duty applications, such as the surveillance of ovens, foundries, and other high- temperature environments.
The NTW housing, made of polished stainless steel AISI 316L, can be equipped with a zinc selenide (ZnSe) window designed for thermal video cameras (with a wavelength from 7.5μm to 14μm), or a sapphire glass window for shortwave thermal video cameras (with a wavelength from 0.75μm to 4.5μm).
The NTW housing consists of a body with a double chamber for the circulation of coolant or cooling air, closed by two very thick flanges. The rear flange enables cable passage using two cable glands PG13.5. Two 1/2” GAS connectors control the input/output of cooling fluids.
The housing is equipped with a flange designed to create an air barrier in front of the window, with the dual purpose of preventing dust deposits and reducing the temperature.

4.2 Product marking label
See the label attached to the product.
Check the label on the product packaging.

Preparing the product for use

If there are obvious signs of damage, contact the supplier immediately.
When returning a faulty product we recommend using the original packaging for shipping.
Keep the packaging in case you need to send the product for repairs.

5.2 Contents
Check the contents to make sure they correspond with the list of materials as below:

• Housing
• Housing equipment:
• Allen wrench
• Spacers
• Bolts and screws
• Instruction manual

5.3 Safely disposing of packaging material
The packaging material can all be recycled. The installer technician will be responsible for separating the material for disposal, and in any case for compliance with the legislation in force where the device is to be used.

Installation

6.1 Housing Opening
Unscrew the screws (01) on the rear flange (02) using the hexagonal wrench (03) provided.
Slide out the rear cover plate of the housing, taking care to leave the sealing washer in its seating. By doing so, you can access the housing without dismantling the support bracket.

6.2 How to install the camera
Open the housing as described in the relative chapter (6.1 Housing opening, page 5).
Assemble the camera on the slide using the insulating spacer (01) and the 1/4” screw and the washer (02) provided. If necessary, use the spacers to position the camera and lens correctly.

Insert the cables through the cable glands and electrically connect.
Ensure the cable glands are firmly fastened.

6.3 Housing closure
Pay attention to the fixing. Tightening torque: 4Nm.
After installation and wiring, close the product.
Pay attention not to damage the gasket.
Make sure that the sealing ring is correctly fitted in its position.

6.4 Installing the housing
Pay attention to the fixing. Tightening torque: 4Nm.
Fasten the housing to the bracket using the screws provided.
6.5 Cooling circuit
The housing is equipped with an input and output joint on the cooling circuit, both of which are threaded 1/2” Gas.
Installation and dispersal of heat requirements mean the position of the input and output joints on the cooling circuit must be adapted to the specific situation.
The two joints on the cooling circuit placed near the front (01) and rear (02) flange can be used indifferently for cooling liquid input and output.
If necessary, the housing can be rotated on its fixing base by loosening the two fixing clips (03).![VIDEOTEC NTW Liquid Cooled Housing for Thermal Cameras

6.5.1 Examples of system dimensioning
The following test data refer to the use of water as a cooling liquid, with an input temperature of the housing of 20°C and a maximum ambient temperature of 400°C.

WATER COOLING CIRCUIT (WITH INPUT WATER AT A TEMPERATURE OF 20°C)

T environment(°C)| Water flow rate
(l/min)| T inside housing
(°C)
200| 2| 32
300| 2.2| 41
400| 6.5| 44

Tab. 1

The following test data refer to cooling with air, at an input temperature of the housing of 17°C and a maximum ambient temperature of 80°C.

AIR COOLING CIRCUIT (WITH INPUT AIR AT A TEMPERATURE OF 17°C)

T environment (°C)| Air pressure (bar)| Air capacity (m³/h)| T inside the housing (°C)
80| 1| 10| 45
80| 2| 15| 35

Tab. 2
6.6 Front flange with air barrier
The flange with air barrier is equipped with a 1/4”Gas thread joint and a reduction from 1/2” Gas to 1/4” Gas.
This joint must be connected to the circuit with compressed air supplied by a compressor.

6.6.1 Suggested air capacity and pressure
Upstream of the housing, you are advised to install:

• Pressure gauge.

• Adjustment valve.

• Optional filters unit for compressed air cleaning (NXFIGRU2, filtration 0.1μm).
  This allows you to:

• Know and adjust the pressure to supply to the air barrier.

• Conduct simple maintenance.

Too high-pressure values can cause breakage of the window. Strictly comply with the maximum values listed below:

• System pressure: 4bar max
• Recommended minimum pressure: 2bar

For example purposes, the system pressure-output pressure and system pressure- air capacity graphics are outlined which are useful for compressor dimensioning. All the values must be considered purely approximate.

Accessories

7.1 Replacement of the front flange
Dismantle the front flange (01) of the housing by unscrewing the four screws (02) with the hexagonal wrench (03) provided.

Position the new front flange on the body of the housing, paying attention to the gaskets being correctly inserted in their compartments to avoid damaging them. Tighten the 4 screws using the Allen wrench supplied.
Pay attention to the fixing. Tightening torque: 4Nm.

Cleaning

8.1 Cleaning the window
We recommend using a soft cloth with neutral soap diluted with water or specific products to clean the lenses.
Avoid ethyl alcohol, solvents, hydrogenated hydrocarbons, strong acid, and alkali. Such products may irreparably damage the surface.

Information on disposal and recycling

The European Directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) mandates that these devices should not be disposed of in the normal flow of municipal solid waste, but they should be collected separately in order to optimize the recovery stream and recycling of the materials that they contain and to reduce the impact on human health and the environment due to the presence of potentially hazardous substances.

The symbol of the crossed-out bin is marked on all products to remember this.
The waste may be delivered to appropriate collection centers or may be delivered free of charge to the distributor where you purchased the equipment at the time of purchase of a new equivalent or without obligation to a new purchase for equipment with a size smaller than 25cm (9.8in).
For more information on the proper disposal of these devices, you can contact the responsible public service.
