NOTICE
General Notes and Warnings
The HD Multi-SeaCam supports a variety of connectors.
Be sure to verify pin-out orientation before use.
It is very important when preparing the system for
deployment that the cable, at both the camera and
topside ends, be carefully dressed to provide complete
strain relief to the connectors. Failure of the strain relief
provisions will almost certainly damage the connectors
and possibly other elements of the system.
DANGER
Do not operate any high voltage electrical
equipment in or around water without using
a Ground Fault Interrupt circuit (GFI) and an
isolation transformer, especially when divers
are in the water.
WARNING
Never place the camera in a vice or other hard
clamping tool. Should it become necessary
to hold the camera more tightly than can be
managed by hand, use a clean, good quality
strap wrench.
Pre and Post Dive Inspection
Rinse your HD Multi-SeaCam in fresh water after use in
saltwater.
Always check to make sure that the rear bulkhead con-
nector assembly is secure before deployment.
Before and after each deployment, check the following
areas for damage, wear or corrosion:
●Rear bulkhead connector assembly
●Video cable
●Front window
●Retaining cowl
WARNING
After each deployment, carefully check to
make sure the camera has not ooded. It is
possible for the camera to partially ood and
then reseal itself while underwater. Upon
surfacing, the camera can become internally
pressurized, which may be potentially
dangerous. Additionally, if the power remains
on when the camera has partially ooded, it
is possible for electrolytic generation of an
explosive mixture of hydrogen and oxygen
