Underwater Cable Connector - Cygnus 1 Operation Manual

UNDERWATER CABLE CONNECTION
The Cygnus 1 ROV Underwater Gauge is provided with a fully-waterproof external cable
connection. To maintain the integrity of the electrical operation and watertight-seal it is
essential that these precautions are observed :
Cable connection should only ever be made in dry ambient conditions at the surface
Connections must never be made, or broken, underwater
Both the male Underwater Cable connector and the Blanking-plug should have
Molykote smeared on the pins before inserting into the Gauge
The male plug-connector should be pushed fully into the female socket-connector, and
then the rubber retaining-loop should be pushed into the groove on the male-connector,
to complete the fully-waterproof connection
A Blanking-plug is supplied for use - for safety we recommend that the Blanking Plug is
fitted at all times that there is no cable attached to the Gauge body
