Diver Communications
6.2
The diver audio is standard set for a 2 wire communications (simplex).
The divers can only speak to each other when the surface operator pushes the cross-talk switch to the desired direction.
The SCC-1DR(VL) can be set for 4 wire communication (duplex). The audio In can be used and the diver can listen to
the audio input from a Smart Phone or MP3 player or any other audio device.
When set for Full duplex, there is a full open communication (conference) between the divers and surface. No need of
pressing the PTT.
6.2.1 2 wire comms configuration
The SCC-1DR(VL) is standard fitted with a 10 pin multipin connector.
The audio comms for 2 is connected to the diver umbilical via the multipin connector (pins H,J) or via the yellow
Banana sockets
6.2.2 4 wire comms configuration
The SCC-1DR(VL) is standard fitted with a 10 pin multipin connector.
The audio comms for 4 is connected to the diver umbilical via the multipin connector (pins H,J,G,K) or via the
yellow and blue Banana sockets
6.2.3 Comms Mode
The Comms Mode is a selection comms mode switch. This allows the use of a 4 wire comms system and still be
able also to use the system as a 2 wire system.
The 4 wire configurations has 3 user modes:
2S - 2 or 4 wire simplex
4HD- 4 wire Half duplex surface to diver, full duplex diver to diver
4FD- 4 wire Full duplex, surface and divers full duplex without any PTT
6.2.4 2/4S - 2 wire simplex
This mode is the same as the standard comms when using 2 wire. This works with either 2 or 4 wires comms cable
configuration. The diver will always be heard at the surface and the Tender needs to push the PTT switch to talk to
the diver.
6.2.5 4HD – 4 wire Half Duplex
This mode uses a 4 wire comms cable configuration. The Diver can listen to music which is connected to the audio
In. The audio in can be an audio signal from any headphone output of a MP3 player or any other audio device.
The Tender needs to push the PTT button to speak to the divers. When you press the PTT to audio in the diver will
be muted.
6.2.6 4FD- 4 wire Full Duplex
This mode allows to have a full open communication between diver and Tender without using the PTT buttons.
Like a conference call.

6.2.7 Comms Volume control
The SCC has a Tender and Diver volume control.
The Volume Diver is the volume control of what the diver hears
The Volume Tender is the volume control of what the tender hears
6.2.8 Internal MIC
On the panel between the Diver and Volume Tender control, the internal MIC is
positioned. It is not needed to place your mouth close the Mic. Normal arm length
distance is sufficient to pick-up the Tender speaking volume.
6.2.9 Push To Talk (PTT)
The button per diver to press when the Tender want’s to speak to the diver.
6.2.10 Internal Speaker
The Internal Speaker can be switched off with the rocker switch Speaker. This can
be used when operating with the Mic/Headset.
6.2.11 Audio In
The audio can be used to connect a music audio player. The audio can be heard at
the diver end, only with the 4 wire configuration. The audio connector is a 3,5 mm stereo Jack.
6.2.12 Headset / Mic
The external headset/Mic connector can be used to connected the supplied headset with mic and used with the
SCC built in PTT to speak to the diver.
Another option is to us the headset/mic connector for an optional MIC with PTT to talk to the divers. The internal
speaker can be switched of if required.
When the Headset with Mic or the MIC only are connected, the internal MIC is automatically switched off.
MIC-PTT and Headset/Mic are optional Novasub products

Camera and light control (Only L and VL models)
7.2
The camera and light are switched on with rocker switches. Both have a LED indicating that power is supplied to the
camera and light. The light intensity can be controlled with rotation Knob
7.2.1 Camera signal
The SCC has a built in auto tunable video line driver for each camera. This video line driver allows the use of video
signal over twisted pair or coax cable up to a maximum length of 600 m. Also the line driver can be set for coax
cable use.
The Novasub cameras are available with video line driver for video signal over twisted pair and coax.
The Novasub cameras set for Twisted Pair can also be used on Coaxial umbilical’s or cables.
The power supply to the camera is standard 24 Vdc, if required the voltage can be set to 12 or 15 Vdc. This is a
factory setting.*
*Only on order of SCC-1DRVL.
7.2.1.1 Why use video transmission over Twisted pair
Novasub has developed video transmission converters that makes it possible to transfer a video composite
signal over a standard twisted pair cable. The latest converters are Auto tuneable for cable length up to 600
m. All standard Novasub camera and topside control units have these video transmission converters built in.
The cameras have a composite video to twisted pair signal transmitter, and the topside units have a twisted
pair signal to composite video receiver.
All Novasub cables and umbilicals, are standard fitted with screened twisted pairs (STP). These STP are used
for all possible data/audio and video transmission.
Novasub does not use Coax for video signal transmission. The reason is the mainly weak and interference
sensitive Coax cable.
NOVASUB umbilical and cable uses video signal transmission over shielded twisted-pairs (STP).
The advantages of twisted-pair are;
more reliable video transmission through less interference( electromechanical- or radio frequency
interference)
higher movability through higher flexibility
STP is a stronger cable then coax
higher flexibility in applications, twisted-pair cabling is the standard in data transfer worldwide
easier to install/repair/handle
7.2.2 Light controller
The SCC-1DR(VL) is standard fitted with a LED light controller that matches the Novasub LUX3 and LUX6 lights.
The LED controller regulates the Ampere from 0-1,6 A at 24 vdc.
An Halogen light bulb up to max. 25/30 watts can also be controlled directly from the LED-controller.
Also other brands of LED light can be controlled, however they need to be internal protected against a max.of 1,6
Amp. Current and a 24 Vdc voltage.
If required the max. output Ampere can be set to a lower and higher value. This is a factory setting .
Switch on the
Camera
Press the camera switch to the right, the CAM green LED
switches on.
