2 BASIC INFORMATION & QUICK REFERENCE
2.1 Product overview
DigiTRONfconnectors, optical flying leads (OFLs), jumpers and harness assemblies intended use
is to provide communications and optical data links between pieces of optical equipment that are
submerged in water, e.g. subsea.
The DigiTRONfrange of connectors have been developed for long term reliable optical
communications in subsea applications. The underwater mateable capacity of these connectors is
achieved using pressure compensated optical inserts employing the ‘controlled environment’ CE
principle.
An OFL is completely independent of other equipment, and is fitted with ROV or Diver installable
connectors at each end. All OFL’s are oil filled pressure compensated hose assemblies and are
supplied as complete finished product from the factory.
All OFL’s should be retrievable and when installed should not cross-over each other.
Some illustrations are shown in section 2.6 to help identify an OFL and jumper (harness).
Table 2 below identifies each product type in the DigiTRONf product range.
The products look very similar, so it is important to note the identifier for each product type.

To terminate FOcables laid up in an umbilical cable (e.g. steel orcopper tubes containing the optical
fibers) an Advanced Fiber Termination Unit (AFT) is used. This crosses over from the umbilical
cable to the oil-filled hose system. The AFT can have up to 4 hose outputs. Single output example
is shown in Figure 6

Personal protective equipment (PPE)
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is legally defined as ‘all equipment (including clothing affording
protection against the weather) which is intended to be worn or held by a person at work and which
protects the user against one or more risks to their health or safety’.
In the hierarchy of risk control, PPE is considered to rank lowest and represent the option of last
resort. PPE is only appropriate where the hazard in question cannot be totally removed or controlled
in such a way that harm is unlikely (for example by isolating the hazard or reducing the risk at source
to an acceptable level).
All company personnel and operators should wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment(PPE)
defined as a result of relevant risk assessments in accordance with the Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) Regulations.
Wear appropriate PPE according to the product safety advice given in this document
Danger caused by improper operation and foreseeable misuse
Improper operation and foreseeable misuse may present a danger to you and others and cause
material damage. Carefully read the enclosed instructions and all other applicable documents,
particularly the “Safety” section and the warnings.
Danger! Risk of imminent danger to life, risk of severe personal injury caused by a shuttle
pin projectile due to damage caused to shuttle pins e.g. with a screwdriver (foreseeable
misuse).
- Maintenance and testing activities must only be carried out by a competent person.
- Correct tools must always be used.

Risk of injury and material damage due to testing, maintenance and repairs
carried out incorrectly or not at all
The oil-filled hoses and connectors are non-serviceable by the user. In case of suspected faults with
the product (refer to section 8.2), do not use the product and contact Siemens Energy Technical
Support or Siemens Energy Product Safety for advice. Never attempt to carry out maintenance work
or repairs on the product yourself.
Danger! Risk of imminent danger to life, risk of severe personal injury caused by released
pressure and or projectile due to incorrectly installed pressure retaining product, (e.g.bulk-
head connector or penetrator) during system pressure test, or the rated differential
pressure of the product is exceeded
- Ensure all product assembly and testing activities are completed by competent
persons.
- Do not exceed the maximum differential pressure rating of the product installed.
- Individual products have different differential pressure ratings, refer to the specific
product datasheet or contact Siemens Energy Technical Support
Danger! Risk of severe personal eye injury due topressurised oil squirting out of damaged
hose or removal of fill/vent screw.
- Ensure all testing of products both factory and deployed in-field have been completed
by competent persons.
Warning. Risk of eye/bodily injury caused by released pressure during product
disassembly, in the event of retrieval from subsea with a fault that causes depth pressure
to be trapped inside the product.
- Ensure all product disassembly activities are completed by competent persons in
accordance with relevant procedures and using relevant personal protective
equipment (PPE).
Warning. Risk of bodily injury caused by pressure retaining parts becoming projectile due
to user over-pressurising the system, e.g. during Site Installation Test (SIT).
- Ensure all product SIT activities are completed by competent persons in accordance
with relevant procedures.
Risk of injury and material damage due to manual handling
Manual handling, lifting and carrying are known to be one of the largest contributors to occupational
ill-health. Ensure mechanical handling aids are used wherever possible to avoid manual handling.
Where manual handling is considered appropriate for the task, safe lifting guidelines must be
followed, e.g. adopt correct posture, consider team lifting, employ safe lifting technique, etc. Only
competent persons are permitted to perform tasks without supervision, if in doubt ask.

Warning. Risk of musculoskeletal injury from hand-mating or de-mating connectors.
- Referring to the mate / demate forces specified herein, ensure suitable manual
handling precautions are taken. It is recommended to use the mate/demate tool
designed for this purpose (refer to section 9.9).
- Ensure all product testing activities are completed by competent persons in
accordance with relevant procedures.
Warning. Risk of musculoskeletal injury from manual handling of heavy products. Refer to
shipping information or product datasheet for weights of the product.
- Ensure mechanical handling aids are used wherever possible to avoid manual
handling.
- Where manual handling is considered appropriate for the task, safe lifting guidelines
must be followed, e.g. adopt correct posture, consider team lifting, employ safe lifting
technique, etc.
- Only competent persons are permitted to perform tasks without supervision, if in doubt
ask.
Warning. Risk of bodily injury from heavy product falling during lift with machinery.
- Local regulations for mechanically-aided lifting operations and lifting equipment must
be adhered to, e.g. ‘LOLER’ in the UK.
Warning. Risk of minor personal injury to persons with sensitivities to silicone or mineral
based oils.
- There is a small risk that oil could leak from the product if faulty. Wear appropriate hand
protection when handling products or mineral or synthetic based oils in case oils leak
from the connector due to a fault.
Warning. Risk of minor personal injury and material damage due to slips, trips and falls.
-Good housekeeping avoids slips, trips and falls, keep all work areas clean and tidy.
3.4 Related documents
Installers shall carryout a full site risk assessment and put into place all necessary steps and
procedures to comply with applicable area, regional, national or international health and safety
