Hi,
I have a Nauticam housing with Sony a6000, moisture alarm and vacuum port. Tested at home, worked great, light blue on, pumped out air, light turned green, all great.
Now, I just arrived to Roatan with a week of diving ahead of me and moisture sensor is giving me issues:
Installed camera in the housing, turn the meter on and right away keeps flashing red with beeping (housing still opened), WTH???
I tried pumping air out with sensor beeping, same thing. I tried removing and installing sensor batter, same thing.
There's definitely a seal, cuz when I pump the air out and open the housing you can hear air hissing. I know I can dive without the sensor turned on, but it would be nice to have it working ::)
What do you guys think? any suggestions? Is Roatan air that humid that the sensor is freaking out in hotel room, cooled down to 21C ???
 
SOLUTION:
got it to work with a dryer, few blows around the sensor with a distance of course :)
consider the thread closed.
