1. Introduction
NETmc Marine videoPWR camera / lamp controller units have been supplied in 2 separate models:
- a videoPWRpeli which is fitted into a Pelicase for ease of transportation, and is used to control
one diver camera and lamp system
- a single/dual channel 1U rackmount videoPWR which provides control of up to 2 separate diver
camera and lamp systems. The dual channel version has 100% replication for each diver
system, with separate mains inputs, switches and umbilical output sockets.
For an additional cost video enhancement technology can be fitted into the unit.
VideoPWR camera/lamp controllers are designed to work with our customer’s own camera/lamps as
requested:
- Where a Souriau umibilical connector is fitted (see Appendix 2), the videoPWR unit has been
designed specifically for use with Novasub underwater cameras parts CAMSS2.3TP and
CAMSS2.4C, and Novasub LED lights part LUX6LSS1.4-12.
- If a different or no connector is fitted please contact us to find out which camera/lamps systems the
videoPWR is designed to work with.

dimmer control Connector for umbilical
When switching on, the dimmer control knob should always be set at its minimum.
This prevents damage to any connected lamp and prevents inrush surges which might
happen if no lamp is connected - which may blow fuses.
2.2 Electrical:
The units operate from 90 to 260 VAC input.
Lamp output 0-24v DC variable.
Camera output typically 24v DC
Camera signal should be via co-ax unless unit has been ordered specifically with twisted pair line
drivers – this is indicated on the product bar code.
THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE EARTHED.
