Steps

  1. Use a new lubricated O-ring, or remove and lubricate the existing O-ring, and install it in the larger diameter O-ring groove of the front hull ring.

  2. Orient the front hull ring so that the receiver bracket is facing toward the ROV and at the bottom of the main hull.

  3. Thread the camera ribbon cable through the clip on the camera interface. The cable should be inserted so that the free end is pointed towards the rear of the camera and can be easily installed in the connector

  4. Insert the camera ribbon cable connector into the socket on the camera interface making sure the contacts are on the same side.

  5. Position the front hull ring at the front of the main hull and make sure the camera ribbon cable is routed so that it will not interfere with camera tilt movements.

  6. Make sure the camera axis is level with the ROV from side to side.

  7. If the ROV board set is in the ROV, make sure the front of the heat sink engages in the receiver bracket at the bottom of the front hull ring.

  8. Being careful not to pinch the o-ring, press the front hull ring into the main hull until is seats against the main hull. Make sure that you press the front ring evenly so that it does not bind.

Tip

Before proceeding to the next step, connect the ROV to the control panel and test the camera tilt and focus functions to make sure the camera tilts and focuses smoothly through the entire tilt and focus range.
