• You are attempting to operate at a temperature colder than the specified limit.
TE-cooled cameras are equipped with a thermal-protection switch that shuts the cooler

protection switch will protect the camera, you are nevertheless advised to power down
and correct the operating conditions that caused the thermal-overload to occur.
