3.5 Power Consumption
Your Atik Titan was designed to have very low power consumption, drawing
only 550mA at 12V DC with the cooler running. It is possible to run the
camera without cooling using the USB power alone. The 2.1mm centre-
positive DC input is compatible with a wide range of 12V DC supplies.
WARNING: If you have purchased the optional mains power adaptor, please
note that it is for indoor or observatory use only. There is a risk of electric
shock if the adaptor is used in damp environments or outside. If in doubt do
not use the adaptor and consult a trained electrician.
3.6 USB Port
The Atik Titan uses a USB 2.0 high-speed interface, allowing for a full-frame
download in approximately 100ms when using the supplied Artemis Capture
application. Artemis Capture also provides a higher speed “preview” mode,
which allows a full frame to be downloaded in approximately 50ms.
3.7 Cooling
Your Atik Titan is equipped with a Peltier thermoelectric element which cools
the camera to approximately 20º C below ambient temperature. After
switching on the camera it is advisable to allow at least 2 minutes before
taking images, in order to allow the temperature to stablilize.
