NETmcMarine videoPWR Rev3.2 2 of 15

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.

2.1 Hardware Description and Connections

Switch camera on/off Connector for power

Connector for video outSwitch lamp on/off

Lamp 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.
