General Notes and
Warnings
The Low-Light SeaCam supports a variety of connectors
and pin-outs. By looking on the camera, the user can see
the model, depth rating, video format as well as the pin
out orientation. Be sure to verify the pin-out before use.
It is very important when preparing the system for de-
ployment that the cable, at both the camera and topside
ends, be carefully dressed to provide complete strain re-
lief to the connectors. Failure of the strain relief provisions
will almost certainly damage the connectors and possibly
other elements of the system.
DANGER
Do not operate any high voltage electrical equipment
in or around water without using a Ground Fault In-
terrupt circuit (GFI) and an isolation transformer, es-
pecially 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 Inspec-
tion

in saltwater.
