5. If you intend to use the manual functions of the camera, be sure the Auto/
Manual button on the lower left side of the camera is in the mid position, not in
the Auto Lock or Hold positions.
6. Install a tape, P2 cards, memory card and charged battery.
Preparing the Housing
1. Release the latches. Three stainless steel safety latches secure the housing halves.
They have a positive locking feature
, so to open them you must first depress the
center bar release while lifting the rear lever. Depress the bar and lift the rear lever on
the top latch, then undo it from its catch hook. Remove the two side latches in a
similar fashion.
2. Open the housing. Separate the rear half of housing from the front.
3. Remove the camera mount plate from the housing. The plate is held in place by
two small thumbscrews underneath. Loosen but do not remove the thumbscrews.
4. Mate the camera to the mount plate. Turn the camera over, mate the camera
mount plate by aligning the hole in the center with the tripod mount on the camera.
5. Secure the camera to the camera mount plate with the small pan head screw with a
coin or screwdriver. Tighten snug but do not over tighten.
6. Buoyancy Adjustment Your HVX200 housing is designed to be balanced and slightly
negative underwater
in its basic configuration
-- which is the housing and a Standard
Port. To achieve this there are 5 trim weights located inside the housing and
positioned for proper buoyancy and balance. The locations are readily identified inside
the housing by the black velcro-like mounts. Install two 11 oz. weights in the back,
two 11 oz. weight on each side wall of the front, and one 8 oz. weight against the
front bulkhead.
If you have the EM419 or EM253 monitor the two 11 oz. weights in the front housing
will be replaced by 8 oz. weights.
