Galvanic Corrosion Control
Eddyfi Technologies strongly recommends stainless steel cameras for salt water environments or other
corrosive environments. The camera warranty is conditional when aluminum body cameras are deployed
in these kinds of applications.
Cathodic protection is required whenever the camera is being deployed in a salt water environment
–
either submerged or in salt spray, regardless of camera material.
Eddyfi
Technologies’ cameras use
aluminum
marine anodes for both stainless and aluminum cameras.
Aluminum anodes are common in the marine industry and are replacing zinc anodes in many areas. For
cameras systems that are often pulled in and out of the water, aluminum anodes are especially important,
as zinc anodes tend to scale over when exposed to air and may not reactivate when submerged again.
An aluminum anode will always reactivate.
It is required that the structure to which the camera is mounted also be protected by
aluminum
anodes.
If the structure is of a dissimilar metal, the camera mount must be isolated from the structure. Do not mix
anode types (zinc and aluminum) on the assembly. There must be only one anode type throughout the
structure. Magnesium anodes must never be used with Spe
ctrum™ camera installations.
Anodes are installed onto the camera as illustrated below. The anode is installed onto the mounting
bracket using an M5 x 10mm 316 SS SHCS. Contact your sales representative for replacements.
