4 | AD500 INSTRUCTION MANUAL Safety precautions

Safety precautions

Please carefully read and follow the following precautions and recommendations:

Improper transportation, handling or use of this housing might cause a flood or

a malfunction. Follow all recommendations stated in the next sections of this

manual.

Never remove, change a port or open the housing in a location where sand or

similar foreign material might come in contact with an O-ring. Be wary of

strong winds as they could potentially be carrying sand or other harmful

particulate matter.

Always perform a simple preventive seal test without the camera inside after

doing maintenance on the housing.

Non-authorized use of third party accessories, as well as modifications and/or

alterations not specifically authorized by Aquatica may affect performance,

cause poor functioning of the controls or impair the sealing integrity of the

housing.

Always handle the ports carefully. Protect them when not in use to avoid

scratching the acrylic or glass surface of ports and windows.

Always confirm that the ports remain properly attached before rinsing the

housing. When rinsing without a wired strobe, confirm that the bulkhead

strobes connectors are sealed with their plug.

Never jump into the water with the housing. Have the system handed to you

after you have made your entry or have it lowered to you on a rope.

Never handle the housing by grabbing the port, or if using one, the Aqua View

finder.

Make sure that boat staff are familiar with these procedures and advise them

to manipulate the housing by using the grips provided with the housing.

10 | AD500 INSTRUCTION MANUAL Housing preparation

Housing preparation

Follow these steps to prepare your AD500 housing for use:

STEP 1: Assemble your handle grips onto your housing using the provided screws

and Allen keys.

STEP 2: If you are adding any shoes, brackets or ball mounts onto your housing,

mount them using the intended ¼-20 UNC threaded holes. You can use

the threaded holes on the handle grips, the top one or the bottom ones

for your tripod.

STEP 3: Mount your strobes and their arms onto the housing. For details about

optical flash triggering and wired bulkheads, refer to the Accessories,

Flash triggering section (page 20). Follow your strobe manufacturer

manual and its recommendations.

STEP 4: Before use, remove the main O-ring seal from its groove and carefully

verify that the O-ring and its groove are free from scratches or foreign

matter. Lubricate the O-ring with a light coat of silicone grease.

WARNING: For proper handling of O-rings, follow the detailed instructions outlined

in the
