    Hi,

    I bought an STXL 11002 with FW8 G in 2014, i used it until 2016 and then i stopped using this cam.
    Now i m gonna reuse it , the question is:

    Do i need before reuse it to Regenerate the desiccant plug? OR do i try using it without doing this and let see what happen? (i don t want to damage the sensor with ice, water....)

    in other word, when i need to regenerate the desiccant plug? is there a periodicity like changing motoroil in a car ? or may i don t care with this ?

    If i need to regerate before turn on the cam, may you send me a procedure to do this safely?



    thanks
    boris

    I would recommend recharging it, just to be on the safe side. A small amount of frost probably won't hurt anything, but a larger amount could cause problems.

    The procedure is in the manual, page 13.

    The manual is on the STXL-11002 product page, on the Downloads tab.

    Once a year should be plenty.
