Mounting the camera
The following mounting procedure MUST be followed when mounting your camera, and supersedes the mounting
procedures detailed in the printed manual supplied with your camera.
1.
Ensure that you’ve carefully followed the instructions provided in the “Applying Loctite” section to insert the
studs correctly into the camera base.
2. Use the supplied mounting template to drill the holes for the camera base (or riser, if used), and the cables
(as required).
3. Place the gasket on the bottom of the camera, carefully aligning the gasket holes with the threaded studs.
Note:
If mounting the camera ball down, do NOT fit the gasket between the camera and the riser.
4. Optionally, (temporarily) secure the riser to the camera with a few hand turns of the nyloc nuts on the studs, to
prevent the riser from falling while you connect the cables. Check that the camera's gasket remains firmly in place.
Note:
Observe the camera forward marking on the top surface of the riser. You must ensure that the riser is mounted
so that the camera is oriented properly, relative to the vessel's bow.
5. Connect the cables to the camera. If using the riser, loop the cables round within the riser base so that they can be
threaded through the bottom of the riser, and into the cable routing hole drilled in the mounting surface.
6. Secure the camera assembly to the mounting surface (or riser, if used), using the supplied flat washers and nyloc
nuts. Pay careful attention to the correct arrangement of the fixings, as shown in the image above.
Note:
If you are replacing an existing camera installation or have purchased an older riser, do NOT use the
existing spring washers supplied with the camera or riser.
7.
Tighten the nyloc nuts to a torque of 5.0 - 6.0 N·m (3.7 - 4.4 lbf·ft).
8. Fit the supplied base seal to the riser.
9. Secure the riser to the mounting surface using screws suitable for the mounting surface material and thickness.
(Fixings not supplied).
