The pre-dive preparations consist of five parts:
1. Visual inspection before setting up the system
2. Setting up the system including making connections
3. Power on tests of the system's safety circuits
4. Primary functions test of the systems features
5. Adjusting the ballast for the desired buoyancy (to be completed in the next phase)
Hand Controller
The hand controller is used to pilot the VideoRay and
operate other features like the lights, camera controls and
manipulator. The hand controller is pre-programmed, but
can be customized to meet specific user or operational
needs.
See the
for more information.
Tether
The tether connects the ROV to the control panel. It
delivers power and control signals to the ROV, and returns
video and sensor data (optional) from the ROV to the
surface. Some systems come with a TDS (Tether
Deployment System), that makes the work of managing the
tether easier. The tether is also often referred to as the
umbilical.
