3.4 Electrical installation
IMPORTANT!
 Installation of this product should only be performed by qualified personnel.
 Verify that the connector pin assignments match with the system where the
camera is being installed. Mind the connector pin numbers and wire colours as
necessary.
 Do not connect/disconnect the subsea connector when the power is ON.
3.4.1 Camera subsea connector
The Night Shark camera can be supplied with various connector configurations. Please
refer to supplied QC for your specific camera.
4 Operational Instructions
4.1 Hazards and protective measures
The Night Shark camera does not generate or use dangerous high electrical voltages.
The camera is filled with inert gas at atmospheric pressure. Follow the safety
information at the beginning of this manual.
4.2 Over-temperature precautions
The camera is designed for operation in water that will absorb the heat generated by
the camera. Imenco acknowledges that the camera must be checked on deck before
operation as well as tested and demonstrated in house, but the conditions when
operating the camera in air may not provide sufficient cooling. Remember that sunlight
and/or high outside temperature will add significant heat to the camera.
5 Maintenance
5.1 General maintenance
After use in seawater or other corrosive environments, rinse the unit and cables in fresh
water.
Inspect the front port for dirt and dust and remove any surface dirt using compressed
air. Clean the front port glass using a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Do not use alcohol
or solvent based cleaning solutions because that could damage the pressure seals and
glass coating. Avoid circular wiping patterns.
Reapply silicon-based lubricant to the connector regularly as needed.

procedures.
