1 Introduction
The Surface Display Computer (SDC) is a topside user interface for Teledyne TSS’s range of subsea
cable and pipeline detection systems. It is a touch screen panel PC that can be operated from its
portable transit case or mounted in a 19” rack, and provides a selection of standard and legacy
interfaces for communicating with the subsea installation, as well as coming pre-installed with Teledyne
TSS’s proprietary DeepView for Windows software.

2.1 Unpacking and Inspection
Upon receipt of the SDC, check all items against the shipping documents and inspect them for damage
that might have occurred during transportation.
Notify Teledyne Limited immediately if there are parts or sub-assemblies missing from your shipment. If
you see any damage to the system, file a claim with the insurers and inform Teledyne Limited. The title
page of this manual lists the contact details for Teledyne Limited. Teledyne Limited also operates a
24-hour emergency telephone support line managed by trained and experienced technicians.
To avoid loss or damage to any components of the system, store all sub-assemblies safely in their
transit cases until you need to install them.

2.2 Physical Installation
WARNING
You must take precautions to secure the SDC when you store and operate this
unit in its transit case. Protect personnel from the hazard of falling equipment and
protect the unit from damage when the survey vessel moves due to the action of
waves. Install cables away from walkways and secure them so they do not
present a hazard to personnel.
CAUTION
To avoid potential damage to the SDC, make certain it has sufficient ventilation to
dissipate the heat that it generates during normal operation. You might damage
the SDC if you allow it to overheat. To operate the SDC inside its transit case,

release and remove the lid of the transit case to allow effective ventilation and
heat dissipation.
If you mount the SDC in a 19” instrument rack you must allow a minimum 30mm
clearance between the top of the SDC and any other equipment mounted directly
above it in the rack. Also, allow a minimum 100mm space between the SDC rear
panel and the rear of the instrument rack to allow for connectors and cable
routing.
NOTE
Throughout this manual any references to the SDC refer to the SDC10. Earlier
versions may not support the same feature set.
Although the SDC uses solid state electronics, the hard-disk drive and parts of the display panel are
susceptible to damage through shock or sustained vibration. You must therefore exercise some care
when you select a suitable location for this unit:
❐Install the SDC where you have easy access to the controls. Choose a position for the SDC
that allows you to see the screen easily while you operate the ROV.
❐If you do not mount the SDC in an instrument rack, use the original SDC transit case to provide
shock protection for the unit. Secure the transit case so that it cannot slide or fall with move-
ments of the vessel.
❐Make certain there is sufficient ventilation space above the SDC to remove the heat that it gen-
erates during normal operation. If necessary, use an electric fan to provide additional ventila-
tion.
❐Do not subject the SDC to extremes of temperature or humidity, or to severe vibration or elec-
trical noise. Never allow the SDC to become wet.
2.2.1 Operation from transit case
1. Open the four latches located on the front and rear of the transit case.
2. Remove the transit case lid and set aside.
3. Secure the transit case base so that it cannot slide or fall with movements of the vessel.
2.2.2 Installation in a 19” rack
1. Open the four latches located on the front and rear of the transit case.
2. Remove the transit case lid and set aside.
3. Remove the 8 x fixing screws securing the SDC to the angled brackets fixed to the transit case
base.
4. Fit SDC into rack and secure with fixing screws.

NOTE
If you intend to change the analogue output configuration make the necessary
changes to the SDC before you install it into the instrument rack. Refer to section
2.3.7 for instructions to change the analogue output settings.

2.3 Electrical Installation
All connections to the SDC are through the VESA-mounted comms module attached to the rear of the
Panel PC. They are located on the top face of the comms module.
