Installing TeamViewer for remote support
1. Ensure the LAN functionality in TeamViewer is enabled (go to Extras > Options > General > Incoming LAN
connections). Using TeamViewer over LAN allows for much faster operation and better quality. SubC
recommends using a LAN connection whenever possible.
2. You can obtain TeamViewer 8 software from:
https://community.teamviewer.com/t5/Knowledge-Base/Download-TeamViewer-8-and-9/ta-p/78348
Install and open Teamviewer on your computer. You will see a window similar to the one below.
3. Make note of the Your ID and Password fields.
4. Contact [email protected]om and provide them with your codes; they now have remote access
and can help with any issues that may arise.

Please read this manual carefully before setting up and using your laser unit. The electronic version of this document is
the controlled copy. Therefore, all printed versions of this document are uncontrolled.
CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may
result in hazardous radiation exposure.
1. The customer is responsible for ensuring that the unit is utilized in an appropriate and safe manner. SubC Imaging
recommends laser safety training and disclaims all risks and liabilities related to the improper setup or operation
of the unit.
2. The light emitted from these devices has been set in accordance with IEC EN 60825-1:2014. However, staring into
the beam, whether directly or indirectly, must be avoided. It is recommended that the user wear appropriate laser
safety glasses.
3. Operators should be trained to NOT point laser or allow laser light to be directed or reflected in any way toward
other people, animals or reflective objects.
4. There is potential hazard of eye or skin exposure to laser radiation if safety instructions are not followed.
5. Warranty will be voided if the unit is modified in any way or the protective housing is removed. SubC Imaging will
not be held responsible for any changes in laser classification after setup of the unit.
6. If the laser product is found to be defective or the unit is damaged, under no circumstances should the unit be
operated. Please contact [email protected] for assistance.

Servicing
●Under NO circumstances should the laser
product be opened by the customer or any 3rd
parties. The warranty will be voided if the unit is
modified or the protective housing is removed.
●The laser product MUST be returned to SubC
Imaging for servicing. Please contact
[email protected] for servicing
requests.
Maintenance
●The laser MUST be OFF during maintenance
procedure.
●The laser front lens should be cleaned
regularly with a dry, clean, lint-free cloth and
isopropyl alcohol to maintain the clarity of the
laser dot.

Please read this manual carefully before setting up and using your unit. SubC disclaims all risks and liabilities related to your failure
to follow or adhere to any of the below instructions or advisories. The electronic version of this document is the controlled copy.
Therefore, all printed versions of this document are uncontrolled.
1. SubC equipment is designed to work at various depth ratings on unmanned vehicles. Designs are tested to their full
pressure rating. Production units are pressure-tested to a nominal rating to ensure no leaks. If using our equipment on
vehicles containing people, you do so at your sole risk as SubC equipment is not certified for direct human contact
underwater. Manned submersibles require equipment to have additional pressure-testing to ensure safety.
2. The equipment has been designed for subsea usage. Observe the operating temperature specifications before prolonged
usage in air (do not operate for >10 minutes in air). Run equipment in water.
3. The power supply is polarized. Ensure the correct polarity is used before plugging into the unit. There are many built-in
protections on the bulkhead pins, however, incorrect electrical connections may still damage the internal electronics. See
your equipment datasheet for correct wiring. Some equipment has a custom pinout selected at point of sale. Check your
documentation before powering.
4. Water should not come in contact with the pins on the bulkheads. When not in use, use dummy plugs. If water touches the
pins, use contact cleaner and compressed air to remove the water.
5. Before attaching the connector to the equipment, be certain that the pins are aligned, clean and lightly lubricated with
appropriate silicone o-ring grease (Ultimate o-ring lubricant for example http://www.ablesealanddesign.com).
6. All fasteners on the equipment are metric. They should be hand-tightened during regular maintenance.
7. Caution: LED flashing may cause seizures in people who are susceptible

Best practices for assembling your system
Greasing the Connector/Dummy Plug (ABOVE WATER - DRY MATE ONLY)
A. Connectors must be greased with Molykote 44 Medium (or equivalent)
before every mating. Check the MSDS for your type of o-ring lubricant
before use.
B. A layer of grease corresponding to minimum 1/10 of socket depth should be
applied to the female connector
C. The inner edge of all sockets should be completely covered, and a thin
transparent layer of grease left visible on the face of the connector
D. After greasing, fully mate the male and female connector in order to secure
optimal distribution of grease on pins and in sockets
E. To confirm that grease has been sufficiently applied, de-mate and check for
grease on every male pin then re-mate the connector

Always review Laser Safety Precautions and wear laser safety glasses when working with
lasers. Review datasheet for laser specifications.
TTL Operation
●The laser is OFF by default when power is applied and also when pin 3 is
connected to GND or left floating.
●When 5 - 30V DC is applied to pin 3, the output is ON.
Setup Steps (Standalone)
1. Plug MCIL5 y-splice cable into the MantaRay modules.
2. Apply 15 - 32.5V DC to MCIL5F cable pins for GND and power.
3. Provide 5 - 30V DC to pin 3 on the bulkhead to turn ON the laser.
Setup Steps (Rayfin Aux Port)
1. Plug MCIL5 y-splice cable into the MantaRay modules.
2. Plug the MCIL5M end of the y-splice into the Rayfin aux port.
3. In the aux control panel of the Rayfin Control Software (RCS), set the aux port to
a MantaRay laser device.
4. Control the laser with the RCS or Rayfin API.
