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.

Diagnostic Display
The system diagnostic display provides the operator with
critical data.
Thruster (Port, Star, etc.): displays control from 0-100%
(max)
When determining the ROV buoyancy, use the
vertical control percent. If the vertical control is
greater or equal to 30% the vertical thruster is
working hard to maintain depth. Adjustments to the
ballast are necessary to minimize the positive buoyancy.
Lamp: Light setpoint from 0-100%
Compass: Direction in degrees from north
Depth: Current ROV depth in selected units
Rating: Depth transducer maximum rating in
PSI
Top Voltage: Topside output voltage
ROV Voltage: Voltage seen at input to the
ROV
Cable: Calculated cable resistance in ohms
Amp: Total ROV Current in amps
Run Time: Total ROV runtime in hours and
minutes
HVBias: measurement of high voltage leakage. Typical value is 0±2%. Any valve greater than 2
indicates a potential leakage in the ROV cable, thruster, or connection between thruster and ROV
control bottle. Any value greater than 30 will trip the GFCI. Below the HVBias is a series of 8 dots.
These indicate the last eight power cycles. A dot indicates normal power cycle. A +indicates a
GFCI trip on the high side and a –indicates a GFCI trip on the low side.
