General Notes & Warnings
The Nano SeaCam supports a variety of connectors and
depth ratings. If looking on the body near the lens one
can see the exact model for that specific camera as well
as the serial number.
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.
WARNING
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 Nano SeaCam in fresh water after use in
saltwater.
Always check to make sure that the rear bulkhead
connector 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
DANGER
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. Upon
surfacing, the camera can become internally
pressurized, which may be potentially
dangerous. Additionally, if the power remains
on when the camera has partially flooded, it
is possible for electrolytic 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. Point the camera
