Remove the tether caps and connect the female end of the tether and strain relief to the ROV. See figure 2B. (Store caps in a secure location)
If not already connected, connect the male end of the double ended connector to the Operator Control 26A Console (OCC). 26
Connect the male end of the tether to the female end of the double ended connector. 26A
Remove the ROV float block bolts and remove the float block.
Inspect all 5-pin and 9-pin connectors to ensure they are seated and then Replace and secure the float block. See figure 2C. CAUTION: If the connectors are not fully seated, clean, lubricate, and reseat them.
Connect the hand controller to the OCC controller USB port. 24
CAUTION: Do not connect more than one hand controller to the system at a time.
Connect the keyboard to the OCC keyboard USB port. 25
Confirm that the ROV POWER MAINS is fully depressed.
Connect the OCC power cord to the OCC and a power source. 18
Turn on the OCC
Turn on the ROV POWER MAINS. Twist the Red Power Mains button clockwise
Start the Pro 5 control software.

2A Attach the strain relief bolt through the eye hole of the strain relief cable. 34

2B Test the strain relief to verify the stress is on the cable not the tether or connector. 35
2C If the connectors are separated, do not place the system in water. Clean, lubricate and reseat the connectors.

Pre Dive Check List

Using the Controller / Testing the System:

Verify all thrusters respond to the controller inputs as expected. M J
Verify main camera tilts all the way up and all the way down. F G
Verify main camera focus – in and out. H I
Verify LED light function. Both LED modules dim until off and increase until full illumination. E
Deploy Vehicle and adjust ballast. H I

NOTE: It is okay to lower the vehicle using the tether E
To ballast the ROV: Add or remove ballast weights 12 until the ROV is slightly positively buoyant. Typically, this is achieved when the top of the float block is even with the water surface.
Enable auto controls (they will turn green when enabled).
