ComNav Explorer V1T and V1C Installation & Operation
Care & Maintenance
The Explorer V1T and V1C Camera System have been designed to provide many years of
reliable service. The following care and maintenance tips will help to ensure the longevity of
the equipment.
Protection of Wires and Cabling
After installation, ensure that the system’s components are securely mounted and will not
shake loose with the vibrations that are expected in a marine vessel.
Ensure that the cables to the equipment are well secured with clamps and/or alternative
fasteners.
Many potential problems can be avoided by ensuring that cables and wiring do not cause any
connectors strain.
Periodic Checks
After the first six months of operation, a thorough examination of the entire Camera system
MUST BE UNDERTAKEN. Verify that all electrical connections, cables, clamps, mounting
brackets, and mechanical connections are secure.
An annual inspection should be undertaken thereafter.
General Precautions
A few precautions will keep the unit in prime condition:
• The Camera and control enclosures do not require any special maintenance. An
occasional cleaning is suggested; use a damp cloth and mild soap.
Note: Do not use abrasive cleaners or chemicals. Improper Care
can cause damage to the lens cover coating, degrade the
camera’s performance and may void the warranty.
• Avoid exposing the enclosure to solvents, acids, and bases – some of these may
weaken the plastic.
• The Camera and control enclosures are designed to be weatherproof and splash
resistant, Do not immersed in water.
• Avoid environments exceeding a temperature of 85°C or below -40°C.
Repair
There are no user serviceable parts inside the Camera or controller enclosures. Should the
unit become damaged in any way, Contact an authorized ComNav dealer.
Fuse Replacement
There are no fuses used inside the camera or controller unit. However, it is strongly
recommended that a fuse (or circuit breaker) be used when installing the equipment.
If the fuse/breaker blows, determine the cause before replacing
or resetting
Cleaning
Clean the camera window only with low-pressure fresh water and a soft
cloth. For water spots, wipe the lens cover with a clean, fresh water dampened lens cloth.
