temperatures. It can take up to several minutes before the screen

temperature reaches the appropriate operating range.

In order to create an ultra clear - high resolution picture, there

needs to be a matching high quality camera. The VS820 uses the

best camera module available; the Sony Super HAD ultra low lux

CCD. This camera offers a 90° angle of view, giving the user a wide

coverage area for maximum visibility.

The Manta camera design matches the high quality Sony Super

HAD CCD camera to a choice between adjustable high intensity blue

LED’s or stealthy infrared lighting. Both lighting options incorporate

MarCum’s exclusive Darkwater lighting technology. The user can

switch between the two lighting options and control the intensity of

the LED’s by making use of the digital keypad. Darkwater technology

greatly reduces particulate reflection and increases viewing distance

by positioning the lights above and behind the actual camera lens.

Adjusting the settings on a monitor has never been so easy. The

digital keypad activates an onscreen display for making adjustments

to the monitor brightness, contrast, color and sharpness. In

addition to adjusting the monitor screen settings, the digital keypad

also controls underwater lighting options, dimmer for controlling

underwater lighting intensity and power ON / OFF.

To clean the monitor screen, use a cleaner recommended for plastic

and a soft cloth towel.

Sharing your video is easy. The video output jack located on the rear

of the monitor allows for adding an external monitor such as a bigger

screen TV or a video recording device.

The camera and power cables have been designed with 90° terminal

connections to prevent cable wear. Along with the 90° connections,

each cable connector is keyed differently to prevent plugging the

cable into the wrong port. The rear cable access panel provides

cable strain relief and is screwed to the back of the monitor. The

panel securely holds the cables in place and prevents unnecessary

wear.

The 75 feet of reinforced camera cable is flexible for ease of handling

yet offers high tensile strength.

The Manta camera incorporates internal ballast weights within
