    Hello

    I have a question for you.
    STXL-11002 camera is strange operation.
    ALL Connecting is Okay. Also cooling is Okay.
    Cooling Fan is good.
    BUT If I Push the Maxim DL connect button Cooling Fan is DOWN.

    If I push the Cooler Temp button next set tempo -10C
    This is cooling Power 100%

    BUT Don't down Tempo.

    I don't understand this situation.
    How to fix this?

    Peltier is broken?

    Thank you.

    The fan stops when you push Maxim DL connect button? or just slows down? When you set cooling to -10, the percentage goes to 100% but the temperature does not decrease? Do I understand the situation correctly?

    ALL correct.

    If I push Maxim DL connect button. Fan is stop. And I set cooling to -10, cooling power goes to 100% BUT the temperature does not decrease. Also Cooling Fan is stop.

    Sorry. Now I push the Maxim DL connect button. Fan is run.
    BUT the temperature is not decrease.
    Also cooling module doesn't hot.
    In my opinion, peltier module is broken?

    Thank you.

    Thank you for clarifying. I would suspect the electronics more than the cooler itself. Although it has happened in the past, it is pretty rare for the cooler to fail. Send me an email at bill@sbig.com and we'll talk about sending it in.

    Taewoo,

    I noticed you've got MaxIm DL set up to run two cameras: SBIG Universal, and SBIG w/ AO. Technically, your STXL and self-guiding filter wheel should be set up under Camera 1 as "SBIG w/ AO" in "Dual Chip Mode" with the "Guide Chip" set to "External Remote" in the "Setup Camera" dialog. Is this how you were connecting to your camera when it was failing?

    Cheers,
    -Adam

    Taewoo,

    The email I sent to SK of Dongwoo was because there was no information with the equipment explaining why it was sent. I wasn't implying that I had tested it and couldn't find any problems, I was only asking him to give me some information. I haven't tested the equipment yet.

    Can you tell me the progress of CCD and AO-X?
    When you test the equipment. I want to change the silica gel in the STXL-11001.
    When is the CCD replacement Cycle of silica gel?
