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 set 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 4,000 watts is necessary for the Model 3000
system.
If using an inverted generator be sure the operating wattage is at least 4000 watts. Also, when using
a generator with smart throttle technology you must turn it off when operating ROV.
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 and Depth Trim with trim knob at zero. This will
keep the ROV from spinning and level 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 0.1 inch
increments.
3.8 To move downward or upward quickly active trim and put trim knob at zero. This will enable
auto pitch control while allowing you to move quickly.
IV. ROV storage and shipping.
4.1 Clean and flush with fresh water.
4.2 Dry the cable and ROV before closing storage boxes. This will minimize mold, mildew and
corrosion on equipment and interior of boxes.
