383+L Condensate Control

Hello,
 How does Atik control the condensate on the camera body, inside the camera and on the outside of the CCD window.

Manuel,
I'm having all sorts of condensation issues on the sensor of my brand new 383L+. It appears that the humidity is controlled by a desiccant plug that needs to be recharged or replaced periodically. My camera is 4 months old so I would probably say that the desiccant needs to be replaced every 3-4 months. I recharged the desiccant about 12 hours ago and I'm waiting the suggested 24 hours to see if I still get dew. I am also trying to get a good supply of desiccant for future replacements.
