General Notes & Warnings
The Wide-i SeaCam supports a variety of connectors,
camera modules, depth ratings, and pin-outs. By looking
into the front port of the camera, the user can see the
model, depth rating, video format as well as the pin out
orientation. Be sure to verify pin-out orientation before
use.
It is important when preparing the system for deployment
that the cable, at both the camera and topside ends,
be carefully dressed to provide complete strain relief to
the connectors. Failure of the strain relief provisions will
almost certainly damage the connectors and possibly
other elements of the system.
DANGER
Do not operate any high voltage electrical
equipment in or around water without using a
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) and an
isolation transformer, especially when divers
are in the water.
WARNING
Never place the camera in a vice or other hard
clamping tool. Should it become necessary
to hold the camera more tightly than can be
managed by hand, use a clean, good quality
strap wrench.
Pre & Post Dive Inspection
Rinse your Wide-i SeaCam in fresh water after use in
saltwater.
Always check to make sure that the rear bulkhead
connector assembly is secured before deployment.
Before and after each deployment, check the following
areas for damage, wear or corrosion:
●
Rear bulkhead connector assembly
●
Video cable
●
Front window
●
Retaining cowl
