Front Main
Body O-ring
Figure 19-3 Front Main Body O-ring
It is recommended that the O-rings be inspected whenever opened, or at a
minimum every two years (with desiccant replacement) to ensure that the seal
integrity is maintained. Contact Campbell Scientific for details on replacement
parts.
It is important to note that the Button Cap O-ring and the Front Main Body O-ring
are both glued into place to prevent the O-rings from inadvertently falling out. Do
not attempt to remove these O-rings unless they are being replaced.
19.4 CC5MPX Desiccant
The CC5MPX contains three small desiccant packets inside the camera. If the
camera is frequently opened (i.e. backplate of lens tube removed), then the
desiccant packets of the camera should be replaced annually. Otherwise, the
desiccant packets should be replaced every two years as preventative maintenance.
The desiccant that is supplied with the camera is an indicating type of desiccant.
There is a small viewing window on the packet that shows the color of the
desiccant. If the desiccant is blue, it is good. If the desiccant is pink, it is saturated
with moisture.
The desiccant packets are located under the PCB on the bottom of the camera (see
Figure 19-4). Needle nose pliers will be useful in helping remove and reinsert the
three desiccant packets.
