These instructions cover how to open the Nano SeaCam and remove the camera chassis. 


Tools

  • 2mm flat blade screwdriver 
  • Spudger 
  • Gloves

Materials

  • Lint free wipe
  • Parafilm 


Step 1 Remove Endcap Snap Ring

  • Use a tool such as a 2mm flat blade screwdriver to pry out the end of helical snap ring that retains the endcap
  • Using a plastic pry tool or spudger, run the tool around the snap ring to pry up the remainder. 
  • A plastic tool ensures that no metal shavings or dust enter the housing or contaminate the seals


Step 2 Pull Endcap Out from Housing

  • Using firm pressure, pull the housing and endcap apart slightly to break the seal. 
  • The endcap is quite short, so if you find it difficult to grip, consider using a dummy plug or test whip with a locking sleeve to add extra gripping space to the endcap. 


Step 3 Remove Camera Chassis

  • Gently tip the open end of the housing into your hand and let the camera chassis fall out. 
  • Stuff a lint free wipe or cover the housing's opening with parafilm to prevent any dust from entering.
