Operator Control Consoles

The Operator Control Console is available in several configurations. Each configuration is compatible with the ROV, tether and accessories, and can be used interchangeably. The configurations are:

Expeditionary Splashproof Controller

The Expeditionary Splashproof Controller is IP65 rated, lightweight and has the smallest footprint for excellent portability and stealthiness. It also includes dedicated side pods that serve as the hand controller.

The Expeditionary Splashproof Controller is designed to be used as a stand-alone topside control console with the ROV on-board batteries and fiber tether/reel, or it can also be used in conjunction with the Workhorse Splashproof Control Console, which provides topside power for the ROV for continuous operations. Details about each mode are included in this document.

Workhorse Splashproof Control Console

The Workhorse Splashproof Control Console, is IP65 rated for all weather use. It requires topside power, either shore power, generator or battery and inverter.

The Workhorse Splashproof Control Console includes the Expeditionary Splashproof Controller as its computer.

Workhorse Control Console

The Workhorse Control Console is similar to the Workhorse Splashproof Control Console, but it is not rated for all weather use and requires some shelter for the controller when used in inclement weather. It includes an embedded processor unit. It requires topside power, either shore power, generator or battery and inverter.

The control console configurations are sold separately, and can be purchased with or without an ROV package.

Power Source Options

In addition to control console configuration, different methods of powering the ROV are available. See the Power Source Options page for more information.
