Due to the wide overhang of the port
flange the port seal is most visible
when viewed by looking inside the
housing before the camera is inserted.
After the port is installed check to see
that the o-ring is properly sealed as
shown in F F i i g g u u r r e e 1 1 and not extruded
as shown in F F i i g g u u r r e e 2 2 .
