Indications that camera needs service/repair at supplier
1. If the underwater connector has white coating or is corroded, see picture 4 for illustration, you
have to check whether the camera cable is defect or if there is a leakage in the camera via the
underwater connector. The camera frame will typically flicker when this happens. Both
camera
cable and the camera must be checked for leakage and sent for repair as soon as possible
.

2. If the camera frame flickers, it is an indication of either a poor camera cable or a fault in the
camera itself. Troubleshoot by switching camera on the camera cable (make sure you use a
camera that works properly);
if the camera continues to flicker, the cable is defective. If not, it
is the camera. Send the defective part for repair.
3. It is an indication that the camera needs service if it rotates poorly up/down. Test manually by
rotating the camera part, and if the engines gives resistance and is not rotating easily, you
must send the camera for service.

Service which can be carried out at site by operations personnel
1.
If the camera shows the wrong depth, (e.g. shows that there are several meters deep when
the camera is in the water surface) indicates that there may be fouling under the membrane
pressure sensor. Either send the camera to service or repair the camera in place. This is a
simple procedure:
The lid of the pressure sensor is removed, as shown in picture 5, and mussels and dirt are
washed out of the lid.
