Overview
This User Manual applies to the following SVC products:
ASM512-500
Underwater Housing for SVC HR-512i Spectroradiometers
ASM1024-500 Underwater Housing for SVC i-Series full-range Spectroradiometers
The Underwater Housing provides a secure and convenient means to conduct submerged data
collections at depths of up 40 meters (130 feet) in either salt or fresh water.
The standard 4° foreoptic and the standard battery are used for operations with the instrument
installed in the Underwater Housing. One battery should supply sufficient power for a full
day’s data collection (SVC HR-512i instrument) or 3 hours of data collection (SVC i-Series
full-range instruments).
Data collected during each dive may be downloaded via Bluetooth without opening the
housing, thus minimizing the risk of getting moisture into the housing or onto the instrument.
The removable rear panel, which is constructed of robust clear acrylic, is quickly detachable.
Four stainless steel draw latches are used to compress a pair of O-rings, affecting a secure,
watertight seal between the rear panel and the main housing (shown in Figures 1 and 2).
