Front Main Body O-ring Section 19. Maintenance FIGURE 19-4. Front Main Body O-ring It is recommended that the O-rings be inspected whenever opened or at a minimum of 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 Oring 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 packs inside of the camera. If the camera is frequently opened (i.e. backplate or lens tube removed), then the desiccant packs of the camera should be replaced yearly. Otherwise the desiccant packs should be replaced every 2 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 pack that shows the color of the desiccant. If the desiccant is blue, then it is still good. If the desiccant is pink, then it is saturated with moisture. The desiccant packs are located under the PCB on the bottom of the camera (see FIGURE 19-5). Needle nose pliers will be useful in helping to remove and reinsert the three desiccant packs. 19-3
