SubC Imaging Rayfin Manual de usuario
Installing TeamViewer for remote support
1. Ensure the LAN functionality in TeamViewer is enabled (go to Extras > Options
> General > Incoming LAN connections). Using TeamViewer over LAN allows
for much faster operation and better quality. SubC recommends using a LAN
connection whenever possible.
2. You can obtain TeamViewer 8 software from:

3. Install and open Teamviewer on your
computer. You will see a window similar to the
one below.
4. Make note of the Your ID and Password fields.
5. Contact SubC tech support and provide them
with your codes; they now have remote
access and can help with any issues that may
arise.

Please read this manual carefully before setting-up and using your unit. The electronic version of this document is the controlled copy. Therefore, all printed
versions of this document are uncontrolled.
1. SubC equipment is designed to work at various depth ratings on unmanned vehicles. Designs are tested to their full pressure rating. Production units are
pressure-tested to a nominal rating to ensure no leaks. If using our equipment on vehicles containing people, you do so at your own discretion as
SubC does not certify equipment for direct human contact underwater. Manned submersibles require equipment to have additional pressure-testing
to ensure safety.
2. The camera has been designed for subsea usage. Observe the operating temperature specifications before prolonged usage in air. If camera is running
in a warm environment (>20°C), it automatically reduces the clock speed and decreases performance. Run the camera in water.
a. A CPU temperature error message will appear when the camera CPU reaches 80°C.
b. An ambient temperature error will appear when the camera reaches 50°C.
3. The power supply is polarized. Ensure the correct polarity is used before plugging into the unit. There are many built-in protections on the camera pins,
however, incorrect electrical connections may still damage the internal electronics. See your camera’s datasheet for correct wiring. Some equipment
has a custom pinout selected at point of sale. Check your documentation before powering.
4. Water should not come in contact with the pins on the bulkheads. When not in use, use dummy plugs. If water touches the pins, use contact cleaner
and compressed air to remove the water.
5. Before attaching the connector to the camera, be certain that the pins are aligned, clean and lightly lubricated with appropriate silicone o-ring grease
(Ultimate o-ring lubricant for example http://www.ablesealanddesign.com).
6. All fasteners on the camera are metric. They should be hand tightened during regular maintenance.
Precautions and Maintenance

Best practices for assembling your system
Greasing the Connector/Dummy Plug (ABOVE WATER - DRY MATE ONLY)
A. Connectors must be greased with Molykote 44 Medium (or equivalent)
before every mating. Check the MSDS for your type of o-ring lubricant
before use.
B. A layer of grease corresponding to minimum 1/10 of socket depth should be
applied to the female connector
C. The inner edge of all sockets should be completely covered, and a thin
transparent layer of grease left visible on the face of the connector
D. After greasing, fully mate the male and female connector in order to secure
optimal distribution of grease on pins and in sockets
E. To confirm that grease has been sufficiently applied, de-mate and check for
grease on every male pin then re-mate the connector

Best practices for assembling your system
For the fundamentals of how to capture excellent underwater photos and detailed video, check out
our Underwater Photography Guide:

1. SubC products are designed to run in water. There is built-in thermal protection in our
equipment, however, we cannot guarantee performance in air.
2. The camera, LED, and laser should be attached to a solid mounting point with either stainless
steel hose clamps OR a machined clamp. In between the mount point and the equipment, use
some neoprene rubber, electrical tape, or similar insulation material to prevent corrosion from
dissimilar metal contact.
3. To limit particle backscatter, the LED should be positioned as far away from the camera as
possible in the system while also angling the light so that there is sufficient overlap. The Rayfin
camera field of view is 80 degrees diagonal and the LED’s beam angle is also matched at 80. So
the light should be slightly further from the scene than the camera, which is easily achievable. If it
isn’t set up properly, you may end up with dark corners in the images.
4. When connecting the cables to the equipment, use o-ring lubricant. See page about o-ring
lubricant.
