Steps

  1. Orient the ROV board set at the rear of the main hull and with the circular cut out for the vertical motor toward the hull and the heat sink on the bottom.

  2. Slide the ROV board set part way into the main hull.

  3. Connect the ROV power board connector to the ROV power board.

  4. Slide the ROV board set a little further into the main hull.

  5. Connect the pressure sensor ribbon cable to the pressure sensor connector on the ROV CPU board.

  6. Connect the camera ribbon cable to the camera connector on the ROV CPU board.

  7. Slide the ROV board set a little further into the main hull.

  8. Connect the ROV CPU board connector to the ROV CPU board and secure the connector latches.

  9. Slide the ROV board set the remainder of the way into the main hull.

  10. If the front hull ring is installed, make sure the from of the heat sink ROV bar is inserted into the receiver bracket on the back of the front hull ring.

Tip

If the front dome is in place, make sure the front of the ROV heat sink engages in the receiver on the rear of the front hull ring.

If the front dome is removed, there is nothing to secure the ROV Board Set. When assembly is completed the board set is held in place by the receiver brackets in the front and rear hull rings. The wires should hold it in place, but careful not to dislodge the board set while completing the remaining steps of this procedure.
