3. Installing the SeaSpy
3.1. General Guidelines
If the camera is to be used as part of an ROV setup then care should be
taken during the installation to ensure that any chance of damaging it is kept
to a minimum. While it has a very robust housing it should not be mounted in
such a manner which results in it protruding excessively from the ROV body.
If such a setup is desired a suitable guard should be considered which would
keep any chance of severe impact to a minimum.
The camera should be installed using non-metallic clamps so that any
effects of galvanic corrosion are kept to a minimum. If metallic clamps are
unavoidable they should be insulated from the camera body by means of
rubber or plastic strips of at least 3mm in thickness and extending 3mm
beyond the clamp boundary. They should also be painted or lacquered with
at least three coatings.
3.2. Test Cable Wiring
To connect the camera to a computer for testing or operation it will be
necessary to construct an appropriate test cable. The pin-out diagram for
units fitted with the Tritech 6 pin standard water block is shown in the
specification section, for any other connectors it will be necessary to refer to
the documentation that was provided with the camera to establish the correct
wiring scheme.
To connect to a computer it will be necessary to provide the camera a
minimum of three connections:
1. DC Power
2. DC Ground
3. Connection to a PC video capture card, either external or internal
