UsingwithAFAdapter+CanonLens
1. DetachDrop-InFiltersystemformFRM72ofcamerabody.
2. InsertaFilterin48mmthreadofFRM72.(**veryimportanttomaintainBackFocusDistance)
3. AttachAFAdaptertoFRM72ofcamerabody.
4. AlignXYaxisanglesofAFmountusing3pointM4setscrewofFRM72.
5. AttachcanonLenstoAFadapter.
6. ConnectTECpowercables(PS1204)andtemperaturesensorcable(CT18).
7. ConectDC12VtoPS1204.
8. PowerOncanonBody.
9. Checktheworkingofcanonbodyandcoolingmodule.
10. Check the cooling temperature. Within 7~10minutes the temperature of CMOS will drop to
maximumcooledtemperature.
11. Using[Liveview]modeofcamerafindthesubjectandadjustthefocus.
12. Taketheshots.

*TECcoolingmodule ismoreefficient whentheambient temperatureishigh but theefficiency is lower
when the temperature is low in the winter. This is due to the electricity consumption per temperature

!
*The camera temperature showing in BackyardEOS or other Astro imaging programs is not the actual
sensor temperature but the temperature at the temperature sensor installed on the PCB circuit board
placedbehindtheimagesensor.
**ThetemperaturevaluedisplayedatDTH-1isfromthetemperatureoncoldfingerandit’sneartoreal
CMOS temperature and the temperature that Astro imaging programs is displaying (from Canon exif
data)isabout3-7Chigherthanthisvalue.
