ROV connector post-mating checks
During mating the orange indicator lip seal located on the plug connector will fold back and disappear
into the alignment cone on the receptacle connector. After a successful mating of the connectors no
part of the indicator lip seal should protrude through the joint between the plug and receptacle
connector.
ROV connector de-mating
De-mating is achieved by a straight pull on the ROV handle, sufficient to release the latching
mechanism.
Force required is detailed under the mechanical forces in section 5.1
For topside use, e.g. during system testing, there is a hand operated ROV de-mate tool available to
make connector de-mate by hand easier and safe. It is recommended that this tool should always
be used topside. Part number BQ-30090-00. See Figure 25
Warning. Risk of musculoskeletal injury from hand-mating or de-mating connectors.
-
Referring to the mate / de-mate forces specified herein, ensure suitable manual
handling precautions are taken and the topside de-mate tool is used
-
Ensure all product testing activities are completed by competent persons in
accordance with relevant procedures.
