Operational Instructions
5.1
Hazards and protective measures
The Orca II camera does not generate or use dangerous high electrical voltages. The camera is filled
with inert gas at atmospheric pressure. Follow the safety information at the beginning of this
manual.
5.2
Over-temperature precautions
The camera is designed for operation in water that will absorb the heat generated by the camera.
Imenco acknowledges that the camera must be checked on deck before operation as well as tested
and demonstrated in house, but the conditions when operating the camera in air may not provide
sufficient cooling. Remember that sunlight and/or high outside temperature will add significant heat
to the camera.
CAUTION:
When operating the camera in air or unusual hot water, always monitor the internal temperatures (e.g.
using SubVIS SmartView) and shut off the camera or apply active cooling to always keep the temperatures
below 60°C / 140 °F.
