1 DESCRIPTION
The RS-485 CEX-HD, is a high-performance miniature Color Zoom camera intended for
use in shallow water applications. It is rated to 70 meters water depth. The camera has
been designed from the outset with an eye towards simple, straightforward operation and
maintenance. All major subassemblies: Rear Endcap, Camera Electronics Interface Board
and Camera Module have been designed such that any part may be replaced in minutes
utilizing only minimal hand tools. Soldering skills are required only for major repairs or
modifications to the camera electronics.
The ROS RS-485 CEX-HD camera is illustrated by the installation drawings in the
appendix. The camera housing is constructed of hard-anodized aluminum or electro-
polished stainless steel and is designed to be operated in natural but hostile environments.
The front window is made of impact resistant optical grade acrylic and utilizes a single O-
ring seal.
The RS-485 CEX-HD camera utilizes a high resolution, Exmor R CMOS image sensor
coupled to a miniature 30:1 zoom lens in order to provide high-resolution video under
widely varying and adverse viewing conditions. Scene illumination and White Balance
correction is completely automatic. Auto-Focus and Auto-Exposure operation is enabled
upon power-up, but these may be overridden at any time with manual inputs if operating
conditions warrant.
The basic RS-485 CEX-HD camera is capable of providing video outputs in HD-TVI
In addition, circuits on this board generate the camera control commands sent to the zoom
camera module in order to achieve control of Focus position, Zoom position, Exposure
Settings and other special settings.
A wiring diagram (Drawing No. 52-51412) outlining the basic interconnections within the
RS-485 CEX-HD Camera is included in the Appendix of this manual.
