ROV General Guidelines
I. ROV Connecting/ Disconnecting
1.1 Never connect or disconnect any equipment while power is applied to system.
1.2 Turn off power and let sit for 10 seconds prior to disconnecting the umbilical from
the console or ROV. This will allow power inside the console to dissipate.
1.3 Unplug the connectors by holding the body of the connector and not by pulling on
the cable.
1.4 Always use proper dummy plug when connection is not mated to avoid damage
to the unplugged connector.
1.5 Normally devices plugged into the Control bottle do not need to be unplugged
from the bottle. But if situations require device removal, be mindful of the device
mating position when reconnecting. Ensure that the sonar connector and all other
dry mate connectors are clean and dry with no moisture present. Ensure all wet
mate connectors are clean and lubricated with waterproof silicone grease, even
when using a dummy plug.
II. POWER SUPPLY
2.1 Ensure the power connection has a good ground.
2.2 Connect the Green wire to earth ground for added protection.
2.3 If using a generator or Inverter, a minimum of 2,000 watts is necessary for Model
1000 systems and 4,000 watts for the Model 2000 and 2500 systems.
III. ROV DEPLOYMENT
3.1 Be sure to clean and reapply silicon grease (very lightly) on the Umbilical
Connectors.
3.2 When mating umbilical, hold electronics bottle.
3.3 Secure all loose cables inside the ROV. Any loose cables could be pulled into a
propeller, damaging or destroying cable.
3.4 Never activate the Auto Depth or Auto Heading in air.
3.5 When ready to dive, activate Auto-Heading. This will keep the ROV from spinning
on the way down. (Gyro may take a few minutes to stabilize completely)
3.6 Activate auto functions once vehicle is placed in the water.
3.7 Moving the Depth Thumbwheel UP/DOWN in auto-depth will move the ROV in 3
to 4-inch increments.
IV. ROV storage and shipping.
4.1 Clean and flush with fresh water.
4.2 Remove props clean and dry coupling inside and reinstall props.
Port side lateral and port side forward/reverse thrusters are reverse
pitch (left hand).
4.3 Dry the cable and ROV before closing storage boxes. This will minimize mold,
mildew and corrosion on equipment and interior of boxes.

conditions. System components have been designed for maximum reliability while incorporating
the latest technology. The robust frame allows for additional sensors and equipment to be
mounted and integrated into the vehicle. The tether allows for simultaneous stream of up to 3
analog HD cameras. Options such as 2 function Manipulator and VDSL are also available.
1. Flotation Block
Flotation is closed cell polyurethane Foam with Fiberglass covering. The foam has been
pressure tested to 500 PSI.
2. Front Lights (x2)
There are two UWL-500 with Super Bright LEDs (4,300 lumens 3,000K, 1,440 lux. @1m).
They are set to emit light 220 degrees around the ROV for viewing with any camera selected.
3. Manipulator (optional)
The Outland MP-100 is a two-function magnetically coupled manipulator available as add on
option.
4. Miniature Mechanical Scanning Sonar (optional)
Sonar options are available for addon. Contact Outland for additional information.
5. Front Camera with parallel lasers
The front camera assembly is comprised of two cameras and two lasers. The internal camera
mount is attached to a rotating mechanism resulting in full 360° rotation. The first camera is a
High Definition 1080P color camera. The second camera is a standard definition, 750-line,
0.001 lux sensitivity camera using the latest Ex-view HAD CCD II sensor resulting is 1020 x
508 pixels. Lasers can be powered on and off using the hand controller.
6. Multibeam Sonar (optional)
Sonar options are available for addon. Contact Outland to find out more about available units.
7. ROV Frame
The OUTLAND ROV frames are made of 6061-T6 aluminum. The frame is bead blasted and
protected with anodes. Most components are attached to the frame using aluminum screws
and aluminum nylon lock nuts.
8. Navigation Bottle
The navigation bottle houses the attitude and heading system/ inertial measurement unit
necessary for determining vehicle heading and performing Auto Heading flight mode. The
orientation solution has an accuracy of ±1° in all orientations. The bottle also houses a depth
transducer used for depth reading and performing Auto Depth flight mode. In addition, the
bottle connects and process data from an Altimeter (Auto Depth flight mode) and Cathodic
Protection voltage measurement readings.
9. Thruster (Port Lateral)
Magnetically coupled, DC brushless thrusters are used on all vehicles. The control electronics
are mounted in the motor housing. The propeller rides on composite water bearings. Do not
