The VS485C series LCD systems are considered to be water resistant but
not water proof. They’re designed to be used in the outside elements under
most conditions but under no circumstances should the monitor come in
direct contact with standing water or be submerged. Also, be sure to fold
down and cover the monitor should you experience heavy rain while out in a
boat or on the ice. Should your VS485C viewing system become wet from
rain or snow, be sure to get it to a warm dry place to dry out as soon as
possible. You may experience some blurriness or slowdown in LCD
performance when you first power up the screen in cold temperatures. It can
take up to several minutes before the screen temperature reaches the
appropriate operating range.
In order to create an ultra-clear, high resolution picture, there needs to be a
matching high quality camera. The VS485C uses the best camera module
available; the Sony Super HAD II ultra-low lux CCD. This camera offers a 90°
angle of view, giving the user a wide coverage area for maximum visibility.
The Manta camera design matches the high quality Sony Super HAD CCD
camera with adjustable high intensity white LED lights. This lighting option
incorporates MarCum’s exclusive Darkwater Lighting Technology. Darkwater
technology greatly reduces particulate reflection and increases viewing
distance by positioning the lights above and behind the actual camera lens.
The digital keypad activates an onscreen display for making adjustments to
the monitor brightness, contrast, color and sharpness. In addition to adjusting
the monitor screen settings, the digital keypad also controls underwater
lighting and power ON / OFF.
To clean the monitor screen, use a cleaner recommended for plastic and a
soft cloth towel.
The video output jack located on the rear of the monitor allows for adding an
external monitor such as a bigger screen TV or a video recording device. Be
advised that the video signal coming out of the RCA jack is “analog”, and that
most recording devices are digital, so having a device that will convert the
analog signal to digital may be necessary to successfully record what you see
on your monitor.
The camera and power cables have been designed with 90° terminal
connections to prevent cable wear. Along with the 90° connections, each
cable connector is keyed differently to prevent plugging the cable into the
wrong port. The rear cable access panel provides cable strain relief and is
screwed to the back of the monitor. The panel securely holds the cables in
place and prevents unnecessary wear.
The 50 feet of reinforced camera cable is flexible for ease of handling yet offers
high tensile strength.
