rear of the mounting surface and allows the clamp to contact thinner panel
surfaces while still allowing for proper compression of the JCU mounting gasket
to form a watertight seal.
Electrical Connections
Watertight connectors/enclosures should be used on each of the electrical
connections. Table 1.1 shows the connections for the cables attached to the
camera.
*VIS/IR cable is only available on dual payload models.
Caution: During installation, ensure the cables exiting the bottom of the camera
are not in contact with sharp edges, do not bend at sharp angles, and are not
pinched between the bottom of the camera and the mounting surface. Do not pull
on the cables with excessive force.
Caution: It is recommended that any built-up triboelectric charge on the Ethernet
cable should be discharged before connecting it to the JCU and camera. This
can be accomplished simply by pressing an ungloved finger across the Ethernet
RJ45 connector of the cable for a few seconds.
