2. Introduction
ArtemisPRO is a self-contained diver target detection sonar and underwater navigation aid. The system combines
a forward looking multi-beam imaging sonar, Doppler-Velocity-Log (DVL) sensor, Global Navigation Satellite
System (GNSS/GPS) receiver, internal Attitude and Heading sensors (AHRS), optional video camera and dive-light.
ArtemisPRO has been primarily designed to assist divers navigating along a pre-planned course while carrying out
search and relocation of objects such as:
Unexploded ordnance by navy mine clearance divers, commercial EOD divers, etc.
Seabed infrastructure within the offshore oil & gas environment (e.g. pipelines, well heads, structures).
Missing persons, lost property, vehicles, aircraft, wrecks by police or search & rescue divers.
Seabed/lakebed antiquities by marine biologists, archaeologists, sports divers, etc.
ArtemisPRO is intuitive and straightforward to use. The interface has been designed by divers for divers allowing
them to quickly interpret information presented via the simple menu interface and graphical display. Sonar,
Navigation, Vision and other applications are selected and controlled via a simple 10-button interface.
Using a USB connection, data can be transferred between the internal solid-state storage on ArtemisPRO and a
Microsoft Windows based PC or laptop. The “NavPoint” PC software allows pre-dive creation of “Mission” files (to
assist with search and navigation tasks), and post-dive analysis of “Dive Log” files containing sonar imagery, video
footage, snapshot images, area covered, dive-placed markers-of-interest etc.
In the following sections, this manual aims to cover the operation of the complete ArtemisPRO, including using
familiarising the reader with the parts and terminology of the system, as well as operation of the hardware and
use of the diver interface to select information displays and perform diving tasks.

6. Battery Pod
ArtemisPRO is powered by an easily swappable Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) Battery Pod with the following
features:

Battery Connector

Pressure Relief Valve.

Securing Groove
6.1. Pressure Relief Valve
Should pressure inside the battery pod increase significantly above the outside pressure, the Pressure Relief Valve
will pop out. The valve can be reset and sealed by pushing it firmly back into place before use.
Always check the Pressure Relief Valve is correctly sealed before using the Battery Pod by pushing it firmly
inwards.
Normally the pressure relief valve should not active during normal use and charging of the batteries. If the valve
activates it may be a sign that the battery cells have reached the end of their life or have a problem –Use the
battery with caution and contact Technical Support for further assistance.
6.2. Connecting (or Removing) Batteries
To connect a Battery Pod to ArtemisPRO, first check the Pressure Relief Valve is pushed full inwards and sealed.
Align the Battery Pod connector with the connector in the ArtemisPRO chassis and push firmly into place until
the securing groove snaps into place on the opposite side of the housing.
To remove the Battery Pod, turn off ArtemisPRO then push the end of the Battery Pod with both thumbs to
release it and slide it out of the chassis.

ArtemisPRO
System Manual
2-17
6.3. Charging Batteries
The ArtemisPRO Battery Charger can fully charge a Battery Pod in about 4 hours.
To charge a Battery Pod, first connect the main lead to the charger and mains supply socket, then connect the
Battery Pod to the charger. Turn the Charger on and the red power switch should illuminate.
After a short time, the two Charge Status Indicators should go from Yellow to Orange to show charging has
started (within about 15 seconds).
Always use the charger in a well-ventilated area with good airflow around it, and for best performance, charge the
Battery Pods at room temperature (10°C to 25°C).
Each Battery Pod contains two battery cell-packs, labelled as “1” and “2” by the Charge Status Indicators on the
Chargers label. Each cell-pack has its own independent charging module within the charger housing, and during
charge these indicators may differ depending on the state of each cell-pack.
During charging, the two Charge Status Indicators will go through the following colour sequence:
Not Connected or Initialising
Yellow
Fast Charge
Orange
Top-off Charge
Green with Yellow Pulse
Complete (Trickle Charge)
Green
Error (Charging Stopped)
Orange and Green Flashing

ArtemisPRO
System Manual
2-18
6.3.1. Charging Errors
The Battery Pods will start to get warm as they near completion of charging (Top-off Charge).
If the Battery Pod overheats (temperature greater than 60°C internally), then one or both of the charger modules
will show an Error condition (Orange and Green alternating flash) and charging will stop.
If an overheat error occurs, you should:
Turn off the charger and disconnect the Battery Pod.
Leave the Battery Pod to cool down to room temperature (this may take several hours).
Reconnect the Battery Pod and try charging again. If possible, move the charger and Battery Pod to a
cooler location.
If a Battery Pod is too cold (temperature less than 0°C) the charger may also show an Error. In this case you should
repeat the above steps, but move to a warmer location and wait several hours while the Battery Pod and Charger
warm up.
6.3.2. Interrupting a Charge
There may be times when you need to stop charging part way through a charge cycle, and resume at a later time.
This is allowed and should not give any problems while the Battery Pod is in the “Fast Charge” (Orange) state.
If the Battery Pod feels warm, or charging was stopped in the “Top-off Charge” (Green/Yellow-pulse) state, it is
recommended that the Battery Pod be allowed to cool to room temperature before charging is resumed (as the
Charger will enter “Fast Charge” mode for a short while after it is turned on, and this may cause an already warm
battery to give an over-heat error –see above).
6.3.3. Charging Complete
When charging is complete the Battery Pods may be left to trickle charge for up to 24-36 hours.
It is recommended they are not connected for longer than this otherwise their performance may be
reduced.
If you want to charge another Battery Pod straight after one has completed, disconnect the first Battery Pod and
wait until the Charge Status Indicators turn Yellow before connecting the next Battery Pod.

ArtemisPRO
System Manual
2-19
6.4. Battery Performance
ArtemisPRO uses Nickle-Metal Hydride (NiMH) Batteries, as this chemistry gives a good balance between
performance, ease of use, ease of storage and transportation, and safety.
To get the best lifetime and performance out of your Battery Pods please observe the following:
For further Battery Pod and Charger maintenance and technical information, please refer to the Technical Manual.
6.4.1. New Batteries
New NiMH batteries do not supply their full energy capacity when new, but this capacity will increase to its
intended amount after the first three to four complete discharge and charge cycles.
During this time, it is recommended to fully discharge them (by letting ArtemisPRO turn the power off when they
get ‘flat’), then fully charge them with at least 12 hours of “Trickle Charge” (Green status indicator) after charging
is shown to have completed.
6.4.2. Self-Discharge
NiMH batteries have a high self-discharge rate and may lose up to 10% of its charge in the first 24 hours after
charging, and then up to 10% per month thereafter.
It is recommended that Battery Pods are charged within the 24-hour period prior to use to ensure they are
at full capacity for any dive.
6.4.3. Storage
NiMH batteries can be stored in a ‘flat’ discharged state for periods of up to 3-5 years. However, after long storage
periods, they may lose some of their capacity and require “reconditioning” to restore this –refer to the Technical
Manual for details of this.
It is recommended to store batteries in a charged state if possible.
As mentioned above, NiMH batteries will self-discharge while in storage.
6.5. Safety Precautions
For further information on the safe and correct operation of Battery Pods and the Charger please refer to the
relevant “Safety Precaution”sections in the Technical Manual.

7. Using the System
7.1. Overview and Terminology
The following sections aim to briefly explain the terminology and operating concepts used throughout the system:
7.1.1. Missions
ArtemisPRO can be used by a diver at any time in “free” mode where they quickly want to enter the water and use
the real-time sensor data (such as Sonar or Video).
However, if the diver wants to perform tasks that require some pre-dive knowledge, such as locations to visit, or
search paths to swim, then a Mission File is used to easily collect this information together and configure
ArtemisPRO with it.
Mission Files can be created on ArtemisPRO or an external PC running the NavPoint software.
7.1.2. Markers
Markers are used to identify geographic locations on the divers display and fall into two categories:
Waypoints which form the route diver should swim along (such as a search path)
Targets which identify locations such as points of interest, hazards or navigation references.
Before a dive, a Mission File can be created by the supervisor or diver using the ArtemisPRO console or NavPoint
software application, that contains the markers that the diver will use during their swim.
Markers can be given a name relating to what they represent (such as “Entry Point”, “Harbour Wall”, “Pipe Outlet”,
“Waypoint” etc.), and have a graphical symbol and colour associated with them. It is left to the diver and mission-
planner to discuss and agree up a scheme for what the colours and symbols mean to them (i.e. red for danger,
green for objects to inspect, blue for general locations of interest etc.)
During a dive, the diver can choose a specific marker from the mission to use as a “Navigation Destination”.
ArtemisPRO will use positioning from its GNSS receiver (while the diver is on the surface) and subsequent dead-
reckoning (using the DVL and AHRS sensors) during the dive to guide the diver to the location of the selected
marker (bearing and range to swim are shown on the Status Bar at the bottom of the screen).
7.1.3. Dive-Logs
During the dive, the sonar imagery, navigation sensor information, position and camera video can be recorded
into a Dive-Log File and reviewed in a synchronised manor after the dive is complete.
Dive-logging is started by Diver when they are ready to swim with ArtemisPRO and will take the name of the
