Specific Safety Information

This section contains important safety information 

that is specific to the DVS-300. Read these precautions 

carefully before using the DVS-300 to reduce the risk 

of  electrical  shock,  fire,  or  other  serious  personal 

injury.

SAVE ALL WARNING AND INSTRUCTIONS 

FOR FUTURE REFERENCE!

Keep this manual with the equipment for use by the operator.

DVS-300 Safety

 

An improperly grounded electrical outlet can 
cause electrical shock and/or severely damage 
equipment. Always check the work area for a 
properly grounded electrical outlet. The presence 
of a three-prong or GFCI outlet does not ensure 
that the outlet is properly grounded. If in doubt, 
ensure a licensed electrician inspects the outlet.

 

Only power the CCU-10 with the specified battery 
or a double insulated power supply.

 

Do not operate this equipment if operator or 
machine is standing in water. Operating machine 
while in water increases the risk of electrical shock. 

 

The DVS-300 is not waterproof. Only its lights, 
camera, and cable are waterproof. To decrease 
the risk or electrical shock, do not expose the 
surface equipment to water or rain. 

 

Do not use where a danger of high voltage contact 
is present. The equipment is not designed to 
provide high voltage protection and isolation.

 

Read and understand this operator’s manual and 
the instructions for any other equipment in use, 
and all warnings before operating the DVS-300. 
Failure to follow instructions may result in property 
damage and/or serious personal injury.

 

Practice diver safety. Ensure proper fit and function 
of all diving gear and equipment before diving.

 

Ensure proper seal on diving helmet. If mounting 
the DVS-300 lights and camera onto a dive 
helmet faceplate, ensure proper torque values 
are achieved in accordance to the safety 
specifications. In accordance with Kirby Morgan 
specifications in March 2013, proper faceplate 
torque value should be 20psi for fiberglass model 

!

 

WARNING

helmets.  This information is subject to change. 
Please check with helmet manufacturer for current 
information  about your helmet specification.  

 

The CCU-10 is intended for indoor use when 
powered by the AC power supply. When powered 
by battery, protect the CCU-10 from exposure to 
weather. Do not bend or kink the cable. This can 
cause a break or tear in the cable and lead to 
shorting and malfunction.

 

To prevent damage to the product and to decrease 
the risk of injury, do not expose equipment to 
mechanical shocks.

The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed 
in this operator’s manual cannot cover all possible 
conditions and situations that may occur. It must be 
understood by the operator that common sense and 
caution are factors which cannot be built into this 
product, but must be supplied by the operator.
