WARNING
General Safety Information
Do not operate any high voltage electrical equip-
ment in or around water without using a Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) and an isolation
transformer, especially when divers are in the water.
Never place the camera in a vice or other hard
clamping tool. Should it become necessary to hold
the camera tighter than can be managed by hand,
use a clean, good quality strap wrench.
Equipment Use and Care
●The IP Multi SeaCam supports a variety of con-
nectors. Verify pinout orientation before use.
●Before deployment, check that the rear bulkhead
connector assembly is secure. Check that the
connectors are fully seated and that the seals are
engaged. Failure of the strain relief provisions
may damage the connectors and other elements
of the system.
●Before and after each deployment, check the fol-
lowing areas for damage, wear or corrosion:
a. Rear bulkhead connector assembly
b. Video cable
c. Front Window
d. Retaining cowl
●Rinse the Apex SeaCam in fresh water after use
in saltwater.
After each deployment, carefully check to make sure
the camera has not flooded. It is possible for the
camera to partially flood and then reseal itself while
underwater.
DANGER
WARNING WARNING

Operator’s Manual
Upon surfacing, the camera can become internally
pressurized. If the power remains on when the cam-
era has partially flooded, it is possible for electro-
lytic generation of an explosive mixture of hydrogen
and oxygen gases.
If a camera appears flooded upon removal from the
water, it should be treated as potentially dangerous.
Remove potentially flooded equipment and service
immediately. Point the camera away from persons
and valuable equipment and make sure that the
power is disconnected. See the “Flooding Repair
Procedure” on page 6 for more information.
Integration Procedure
Integrating Instruction
1. Make sure the power supply is in the OFF position.
Prepare a power supply with 10~36 VDC output.
2. Connect the camera power, SDI video, and con-
trol signals to their respective interfaces per the
pinout specied for the camera.
3. Prepare the camera bulkhead connector and verify
proper lubrication of all O-rings and seal surfaces
with a silicone lubricant (spray recommended).
4. Mate the female underwater connector to the
male bulkhead using a smooth linear motion.
Check that the connectors are fully seated and
that the seals are engaged.
5. Hand tighten the locking sleeves together until
rm. Do not over-tighten or use tools on the lock-
ing sleeves.
6. The camera is now ready for operation. Switch
the power supply ON to power the camera. The
camera draws a max of 12W during operation and
will work when supplied with 10~36 VDC.
System Setup
The following component requirements are examples
for integrating the IP Multi SeaCam on a system. Actual
setup will vary with each system depending on equip-
ment, camera conguration, and other factors.

Information about this.
SD Card Formatting
The IP Multi SeaCam comes with a standard 256 GB
micro SDXC ash memory card for onboard video and
still image storage.
DeepSea recommends formatting the onboard memory
card outside of the camera. The camera has limited
formatting capability and may not properly format the
onboard memory from the web user interface.
The microSDXC memory card is formatted to vFAT
(32-bit). Replacement memory cards should also be
formatted to vFAT (32-bit). See (TBD SECTION) for
information on formatting additional microSDXC memory
cards.

Record, Playback, and Download
Outlines how to record, playback, download, etc. if not
covered in above section.
SeaSense Protocol Information
The DeepSea Power & Light SeaSense serial protocol
controls enabled products in real time over standard
EIA-485 (RS-485) and EIA-232 (RS-232) industrial serial
communications interfaces.
While the physical topology of these serial interfaces
may di󰀨er, this protocol is designed to operate in each
environment. The SeaSense protocol uses ASCII char-
acter commands for human readability. Strict command
string formatting and an optional check-sum eld o󰀨er
robust, error-tolerant communications in harsh environ-
ments and mixed-protocol network installations.
DeepSea Power & Light recommends host-side elec-
trical isolation to the physical serial interfaces when
used in subsea environments to limit risks to the host
platform.
The SeaSense protocol provides exibility in the use
and operation of the Apex SeaCam. With this protocol,
operators and system integrators can:
●Control video test patterns to troubleshoot video
transmission systems as well as identify video
feeds.
●Monitor system parameters and diagnostic infor-
mation such as total run time, internal tempera-
ture, and number of power cycles.

Maintenance and Repair
Flooding Repair Procedure
If the camera stops working while underwater, assume
that it has ooded. When working on a potentially
ooded camera, use appropriate personal protective
equipment to protect hands, body, and eyes.
1. Immediately turn o󰀨 the power to the unit.
2. Open the housing by removing the rear-end
cap-retaining ring.
3. Separate the two components by gently pulling
them apart. If necessary, lightly twist components
while separating.
4. Pour out any water trapped in the housing.
5. If the camera is completely ooded, rinse the
internal components with clean fresh water to
minimize contamination and corrosion.
6. Allow parts to dry in air or in a convection oven set
to 60° C (140° F).
NOTICE DeepSea Power & Light cannot be
responsible for any damage incurred during emer-
gency eld repairs. Such repairs should be under-
taken only as a last resort and by qualied
personnel.
Troubleshooting
If the camera stops working while underwater, assume
that it has ooded. See “Flooding Repair Procedure” on
page 6 for more information.
Once determined that the camera is not ooded, or if it
does not turn on during pre-deployment checks, trouble-
shoot in the following sequence:
1. Check that the cable/inline connector has the
correct voltage and current supplied, and that the
correct sockets are being used. See “Electrical
Specications” on page 3 of this manual for elec-
trical specications.
2. Remove the connector and inspect the assembly
for visual signs of wear. Use a multi-meter check
for continuity or shorts. If available, try a spare
connector in the camera.
3. Check the wires that go from the power supply to
the camera base for wear. If they appear worn,
replace them.
4. Check that the power supply board is securely
attached to the camera. If it is loose, check for
damage on the board. If no damage is visible,
●Configure the serial interface by setting baud
rates, device addresses, switching between EIA-
232 or EIA-485 serial interfaces, and enabling a
termination resistor for EIA-485 operation.
●Control power usage with a low power standby
mode or a limit on the maximum light output level.
●Switch between sixteen user preset states for
standby mode and configure the power-on state to
one of these user presets.
●Operate multiple units over a single serial inter-
face and use group addresses (up to 32 per de-
vice) or send global address to efficiently control
more than one device with a single command.
