1 DESCRIPTION
The CE-X, 36:1 is a high performance miniature Color Zoom camera intended for use in
shallowwater applications. The CE-X, 36:1is rated to70 meters waterdepth.Thecamera
has been designed from the outset with an eye towards simple, straightforward operation
and maintenance. All major subassemblies: Rear Endcap, Universal Interface Board with
Long Line amplifier, and Camera Module have been designed such that any part may be
replaced in minutes utilizing only minimal hand tools. Soldering skills are required only for
major repairs or modifications to the camera electronics. In addition to the standard
configuration outlined here, ROS offers variations to the basic CE-X, 36:1. These include:
*Alternate Housing Materials and Depth Ratings
* Alternate Connectors
* Control Using Unipolar or Differential Voltages
* Remote Control from a Computer Terminal over RS485 link
Due to themany options and variationspossible, some areas of this manual may not apply
to a specific camera or application. If your particular CE-X, 36:1 camera is significantly
different from the standard configuration, these details will be described in a manual
addendum. Whenin doubt,please consultyour localrepresentativeor ROSforassistance.
The ROS CE-X, 36:1 camera isillustrated by theinstallation drawings in the appendix. The
camera housing is constructed of hard-anodized aluminum and is designedto beoperated
in natural but hostile environments. The front window is made of impact resistant optical
grade acrylic and utilizes a single O-ring seal. The external connector on the standard
camera is an Impulse Enterprise Model LPMBH-6-MP. Other connectors available are
listed within this manual.
TheCE-X, 36:1 camera utilizesa high resolution, EXviewHAD (Hole Accumulation Diode)
image sensor coupled to a miniature 36:1 zoom lens in order to provide high-resolution
video under widely varying and adverse viewing conditions. Scene illumination and White
Balance correction is completely automatic. Auto-Focus and Auto-Exposure operation is
enabled upon power-up, but these may be overridden at any time with manual inputs if
operating conditions warrant.
The basic CE-X, 36:1 camera is capable of providing video outputs in both composite
(NTSC or PAL). All output video linesare buffered andfused toprevent accidentaldamage
tothe cameraelectronics inthe eventof improper connection. In addition,differentialoutput
mode may be selected for use with balanced shielded twisted pair cables.
All of the available modes of operation can be selected using compactswitches located on
a Mode Select Board. This board is fully accessible when the camera is removed from the
pressure housing. No jumper installation or soldering is required to select the modes of
operation.

The Universal Interface circuit board includes circuits that condition the input power,
protecting the camera electronics from overload voltage or accidental application ofpower
with reversed polarity. In addition, circuits on this board generate the camera control
commands sent to the zoom camera module in order to achieve control of Focus position,
Zoom position, and Exposure Settings.
A wiring diagram (Drawing No. 51-17567) outlining the basic interconnections within the
CE-X, 36:1 Camera is included in the Appendix of this manual.
