FIELD SERVICING

9.1 TROUBLE SHOOTING

The following is a brief diagnostic aid intended to assist the user in determining the nature of
problems encountered during the operation of VideoRay.
1) Check all the cables for proper connection.
2) Check to see that the electrical outlet has power.
3) Ensure all power switches are turned on and the power indicator light is on.
4) Check if the GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) needs to be reset.
5) Check the tether and connectors for damage.

9.1.1 LIGHTS DO NOT WORK

1) Check for power to the vehicle.
2) Check to see if the bulbs have burned out.

9.1.2 LOSS OF THRUST OR MANEUVERABILITY

1) Ensure the propellers and shafts are clear of debris.
2) Ensure the propellers are securely installed.
3) Check to see if the tether is snagged.
4) Check the thrusters to ensure they function properly with VideoRay out of the water.

9.1.3 VIDEO MONITOR DOES NOT SHOW PICTURE

1) Check to see the VideoRay is turned on.
2) Ensure the Video Monitor is also powered on (it should come on automatically, but if the
monitor power switch is bumped it may need to be powered on manually).
3) Check all the video connections.
4) Try a different monitor.

9.1.4 POOR PICTURE QUALITY

1) Check for proper cable connections.
2) Check the condition of the connectors. In our experience, poor video cables and video
connectors cause many video failures.
3) Check for tether damage.
4) Ensure that the view port on VideoRay is clean and free of condensation.
5) Try a different monitor.
