PRO 5 Mission Specialist ROV Robot

Product Information: PRO 5 Quick Reference Guide

The PRO 5 is a remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROV) used
for exploring underwater environments. The system consists of an
ROV, an Operator Control Console (OCC), a tether, and related power
and communication cables. The ROV is equipped with thrusters,
propellers, a camera, LED lights, and other sensors to allow for
navigation, observation, and data collection in underwater
environments.

Visually Inspect the System

Before using the PRO 5, visually inspect the system for any
signs of damage or wear. Check the thrusters, propellers, camera
housing, and all connectors. Ensure that all parts are securely
connected and free to move.

Checking the Thrusters

Inspect the propellers to verify that each has three unworn
blades and is free to spin. Also, check the thruster telltales and
look for signs of oil leakage.

Inspecting the Camera Housing

Inspect the camera housing for any signs of water inside. If
there is any water inside the camera housing, do not use the system
until the issue is resolved.

Inspecting the Entire System

Inspect the entire system for signs of damage, loose or worn
parts. If any parts are damaged or worn out, they must be replaced
before using the system.

Connecting and Powering On

Follow these steps to connect and power on the PRO 5:

Connecting the System

1. Remove the tether caps and connect the female end of the tether
   and strain relief to the ROV. Store caps in a secure location.
2. If not already connected, connect the male end of the
   double-ended connector 26A to the OCC.
3. Connect the male end of the tether to the female end of the
   double-ended connector 26B.
4. Remove the ROV float block bolts and remove the float
   block.
5. Inspect all 5-pin and 9-pin connectors to ensure they are
   seated and then replace and secure the float block. If the
   connectors are not fully seated, clean, lubricate, and reseat
   them.
6. Connect the hand controller to the OCC controller USB port. Do
   not connect more than one hand controller to the system at a
   time.
7. Connect the keyboard to the OCC keyboard USB port.
8. Confirm that the ROV POWER MAINS is fully depressed.
9. Connect the OCC power cord to the OCC and a power source.

Powering On

10. Turn on the OCC.
11. Turn on the ROV POWER MAINS by twisting the Red Power Mains
    button clockwise.
12. Start the Pro 5 control software.

Do not connect or disconnect cables while the system is powered
on. All ROV submerged connections must be terminated. Follow these
steps in order when starting the system.

Pre Dive Check List

Before diving, perform a pre-dive check list:

1. Verify all thrusters respond to the controller inputs as
   expected.
2. Verify main camera tilts all the way up and all the way
   down.
3. Verify main camera focus – in and out.
4. Verify LED light function. Both LED modules dim until off and
   increase until full illumination.
5. Deploy Vehicle and adjust ballast. To ballast the ROV: Add or
   remove ballast weights until the ROV is slightly positively
   buoyant. Typically, this is achieved when the top of the float
   block is even with the water surface.
6. Enable auto controls (they will turn green when enabled):
   Auto-Depth, Auto-Heading.
7. Begin operations and recording.

Using the Controller / Testing the System

The controller is used to navigate and control the ROV. Use the
following instructions to test the system:

1. Verify all thrusters respond to the controller inputs as
   expected.
2. Verify main camera tilts all the way up and all the way
   down.
3. Verify main camera focus – in and out.
4. Verify LED light function. Both LED modules dim until off and
   increase until full illumination.
5. Deploy Vehicle and adjust ballast.
6. Enable auto controls (they will turn green when enabled):
   Auto-Depth, Auto-Heading.

Propeller Reference

The PRO 5 contains two propellers, one on each side of the ROV.
The correct propeller type for each location is as follows:

To show/hide tabs, use the left arrow button on the controller.
Use the views button to switch between Nav/Sonar/Video, Video,
Sonar, and Nav. Use the thruster/propeller reference to identify
the correct propeller for each location.

Connecting & Powering On
WARNING: Do not connect or disconnect cables while system is powered. CAUTION: ALL ROV submerged connections must be terminated. CAUTION: Follow these steps in order when starting the system.

Connecting the System
1. 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)

2. If not already connected, connect the male end of the double ended connector 26A to the Operator Control Console (OCC). 26

3. Connect the male end of the tether to the female end of the double ended connector. 26B
4. Remove the ROV float block bolts and remove the float block.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. Connect the keyboard to the OCC keyboard USB port. 25 8. Confirm that the ROV POWER MAINS is fully depressed.
