Check depth reading
Check that the depth reading on the telemetry screen looks correct. If not, you
can push the Depth Hold switch
(14)
to the FN position momentarily to zero the
depth reading.
Begin launch sequence
After a final check of the Pressure and Battery settings on the Control Station,
it’s time to start the launch sequence.
Launch sequence:
Ensure all switches on the Control Panel are OFF (except the Sensor Power
switch if you have external accessories installed).
Press the Enable (green) button on the Control Panel. This will enable the
water sensor on the ROV, and activate the thrusters. TSUS will now change
to from SUS (suspended) to ARMD.
Turn the Stabilisation
(13)
and Depth Hold
(14)
switches ON once the ROV is
stable and level.
At the end of the launch sequence, the thrusters should be keeping the ROV
suspended in a fixed position just below the surface of the water.
WARNING!
Keep fingers, long hair and loose clothing or anything that may
become entangled well clear of the thrusters before you begin
the launch sequence.
