C A M E R A O R I E N TAT I O N The camera can be mounted in 2 orientations known as “Ball up” and “Ball down.” BALL-UP: The camera is mounted on top of the mounting surface. BALL-DOWN: The camera is suspended upside down, below the mounting surface. The default video image orientation is for the ball-up configuration; if the camera is to be mounted in the ball-down configuration then the video image must be rotated.
G E N E R A L C A B L I N G G U I DA N C E Cable Types and Length • It is important to use cables of the appropriate type and length. • Unless otherwise stated, only use cables supplied by SIONYX. • Ensure that any non-SIONYX cables are of the correct quality and gauge. For example, longer power cable runs may require larger wire gauges to minimize voltage drop along the run. Routing Cables Cables must be routed correctly, to maximize performance and prolong cable life.
Strain Relief Ensure adequate strain relief is provided. Protect connectors from strain and ensure they will not pull out under extreme sea conditions. Circuit Isolation Appropriate circuit isolation is required for installations using both AC and DC current: • Always use isolating transformers or a separate power-inverter to run PC’s, processors,displays and other sensitive electronic instruments or devices. • Always use an isolating transformer with Weather FAX audio cables.
V E R S AT I L E M O U N T I N G I N S TA L L AT I O N LO C AT I O N R E Q U I R E M E N T S When planning the installation location, consider the following points: • The camera is water-resistant, and appropriate for above decks mounting. • When mounting the camera in a ball-down position, ensure that the camera is installed with adequate drainage so that standing water does not collect in the base.
