GETTING FAMILIAR WITH YOUR VIDEORAY

4.1

UNPACKING YOUR VIDEORAY

Your VideoRay Remotely Operated Video Inspection Submersible is packaged and shipped in two rugged
Pelican Diver Cases. These cases have O-rings and are sealed against water when closed. The smaller case
integrates the power supply, controller, and optional screen and or recording device. The larger wheeled case
contains the VideoRay ROV, tether and if purchased, the optional Tether Deployment system.
Upon receiving your VideoRay, check the containers and contents for any damage that may have occurred
during transport.

INSPECTING YOUR VIDEORAY

1) Fully assembled VideoRay ROV with tether

4) Video Monitor (mounted in Controller case cover)
5) This Owner's Manual and related reference cards
6) Any optional accessories you purchased
Should any of these components be missing or damaged, please notify the selling agency.
4.3

PREPARING TO OPERATE YOUR VIDEORAY

Operating your VideoRay controller is like being in the driver's seat of your car. The joystick and switches
are used to control your VideoRay ROV, similar to the way you use the steering wheel, pedals and
dashboard knobs to control your car's operation. The controller's LCD display provides feedback like your
dashboard gauges do, and the Video monitor displays what you might see through the "windshield."
Additionally, a video overlay allows some settings to be superimposed over the video image to allow
heads-up control and navigation.
Before setting up and operating your VideoRay, we recommend that you read all safety precautions in Section
3. The fundamentals of operation can be found in Section 5. Detailed descriptions of all of the features
and functions can be found in Section 6. Section 7 provides advanced handling instructions and tips.
Sections 8 and 9 cover maintenance and troubleshooting, and Section 10 describes optional accessories.
Take a moment now to familiarize yourself with the VideoRay ROV, the controller's layout and the feel of
the controls. Proper operation, maintenance and safe handling of your VideoRay will provide you with
successful dive operations and extended serviceability.
