Optional Water Alarm
If your Z100 housing includes the optional water alarm, there are three alarm conditions
to watch for:
You can test the alarm anytime by shorting the detection contacts that lead to the water
alarm transducer. The water detection condition will activate for 6 seconds. If the
battery is low, the low battery condition will sound.
The water alarm requires a single 6V battery like Radio Shack model 23-469 or A544.
Your battery should be removed when stored (e.g. between dive trips). Check the
battery prior to every dive to ensure proper operation, and change when indicated.
You
must wait a minimum of 30 seconds between battery insertions to allow unit to
fully discharge.
Optional HD-SDI Surface Feed
If your Z100 housing includes the optional HD-SDI Surface Feed, several considerations
are important.
After inserting the Z100 camera into the front housing shell, connect the surface feed
BNC connector to the HD-SDI output.
Be sure the HD-SDI or SD-SDI output is enabled.
