System Overview
The DMD system has been designed to provide divers with the ability to navigate and execute
inspections in zero visibility conditions.
Utilising the Gemini range of Multibeam imaging sonars allows the user to select the most suitable
sonar for the type of operation required. Employing a high degree of resolution and field of view the
diver can opt for either the Gemini 720ik or Gemini 1200ik Multibeam imaging sonars, both provide
excellent range, resolution and field of view. These high specification Multibeam imaging sonars
provide a diver with a high degree of confidence while working in zero visibility conditions and allow
searches to be undertaken far more efficiently than using conventional search pattern techniques.
The DMD systems have been designed to be used with the Inodive accessory rail system, allowing
for the DMD system to be used with an extensive range of dive masks and helmets. All of the Gemini
sonars, when supplied with a DMD system, are built-up with an Inodive interface to allow for
seamless installation onto the dive mask/helmet.
Power and control of the DMD system can either be through a tethered connection to the surface,
where the topside operator controls what the diver sees, or the diver can work autonomously with
no need for a surface connection by utilising a diver battery pack and DMD hand controller. The
tethered system(DMD-T) is intended primarily for surface air dive systemswhere the supplied tether
connects the diver to the surface and control of the sonar is undertaken by the support team. The
same DMD-T system can be used by scuba divers, where it’s acceptable to be attached to the
surface by the tether. The untethered system (DMD-U) allows the diver to operate totally
independent of a surface connection, with the diver himself taking control of the sonar operation.
This is of particular benefit where a diver wishes to operate in a covert fashion or where there may
be hazards that the tether could get snagged on.
By using the DMD system, a diver has the ability to view the sonar image on the diver mounted
monocle, allowing the diver to quickly and efficiently locate targets of interest. The DMD-U system
allows the diver to adjust settings using a custom hand controller and record data of interest on the
subsea computer, while the DMD-T system allows the support diver on the surface to make any
necessary adjustments to the sonar settings and highlight any targets of interest for the diver to
investigate.
The Inodive rail system simplifies the fitting and removal of the DMD system. This allows the sonar
to be removed from the mask/helmet and attached to a Gemini sonar pistol grip where this may at
times offer some advantage, such as difficult to reach areas or where a different sonar viewing angle
may be beneficial. The innovative Monocle design allows for it to be accurately positioned on the
divers helmet/mask and yet it can also easily be lifted out of the divers view and later replaced back
into the same position by the diver when it’s required.

System Connections
The diagram above shows the different parts and cable connections required to the SSC before the
system is powered on and deployed.
If not fitting the DMD Hand Controller (untethered operation) or Diver Comms
connection (tethered operation) the Blanking Plug (item 4) must be fitted.
Submerging the unit and powering ON with this connection exposed will result
in damage to the SSC not covered under the warranty.

To assemble and mount the sonar to the side of the mask:
Slide Clamping Side with ½” Hole (3) onto the slideconnection onthe underside of the Gemini
ik sonar (4)
Slide the 90 Degree Spigot Assembly (2) onto the Accessory Rail (1)
Slide the Sonar (4) and clamping slide (3) onto the mounting spigot (2)
Use the knob onthe Clamping Slide (3) to fix the sonar firmlyin place when correctly adjusted
for position

0747-SOM-00004-01 Page 15 of 31
The illustrations below show the mounting fully assembled and attached to the side of the mask.
During use the diver may find it helpful to reach
up and adjust the orientation of the sonar
slightly using gentle pressure to rotate it forward
or backward on the mounting spigot. This will
assist with the best operating angle for the
sonar dependant on the positioning of the diver
in the water (i.e. standing, crawling, swimming
etc.).

DMD Monocle and Locking Assembly
To assemble and mount the sonar to the side of the mask:
Take the Clamping Slide [2] and slide onto the Accessory Rail [1]
Slide the long section of the 1/4” bar [3] through the hole in the clamping slide [2], and when
the monocle is up against the diver mask turn the knob clockwise to lock the bar in place
Loosen \ unscrew the knurled section of the monocle mount assembly [4] and loosen \
unscrew 2.5mm hex screw [5]. The monocle can now be slid onto the angled rod and the
whole assembly mounted on the divers mask
The monocle slides onto the locking assembly as shown below:

0747-SOM-00004-01 Page 17 of 31
When positioned for comfort and best view for the diver re-tighten the knurled section [4]
and 2.5mm hex screw [5] to lock in place.
The monocle assembly is designed to allow it to be flipped up and out of the view of the diver if
required. Simply hold the front & rear of the monocle between the thumb and index finger and
rotate the assembly around the mounting bar. The monocle will click into final position either
against the mask or at 180 degree rotation flipped up and out of the way

0747-SOM-00004-01 Page 18 of 31
Monocle Orientation
The monocle can be configured in any one of 3 separate configurations:
For fitment and use over the divers LEFT EYE only
For fitment and use over the divers RIGHT EYE only
Neutrally, can be used over EITHER EYE (in this configuration cable routing may not be
ideal)
LEFT EYE
(Cable Exiting LEFT)
RIGHT EYE
(Cable Exiting RIGHT)
NEUTRAL
(Cable Exiting DOWN)
The monocle orientation is specified at the point of purchase and is fixed no attempt
should be made to alter this in the field. Any attempt to do so may result in damage
to the monocle. Should you require a different monocle orientation than originally
specified please contact Tritech International for advice.

DMD System Operation
Switch On & Start-Up Sequence
When all connections have successfully been made as per the section ‘System Connections’ the
unit is ready to be powered on and ‘go live’.
To locate the battery cable connector into the battery
correctly push inward and rotate to lock in place. To remove
rotate in the opposite direction and pull out.
As soon as both of the Metalsub batteries are connected the
system will boot-up and start to operate.
With batteries connected the system can be viewed booting-up through the monocle. The Genesis
version splash screen will appear briefly followed by a plain Grey screen as seen below
With the hand controller connected, the system will automatically recognise that it is running in ‘Un-
Tethered mode. The Genesis sonar display GUI will initialise and the sonar will immediately go on-
line and initiate logging.
