About this manual The purpose of this manual is to provide the descriptions, procedures and detailed parameter explanations required to allow for safe and efficient use of the cPAP MKII. Target audience This manual is intended for all users of the cPAP MKII.
MKII System description The cPAP MKII transceiver is designed for LBL positioning of ROV and other umbilical cord connected vehicle or module. The cPAP MKII Transceiver is compatible with both Cymbal acoustic protocol for positioning and data link, and FSK channels and telemetry.
MKII Instruction Manual Remote transducers The remote transducer is connected to the top of the transceiver with a cable. TDR180 The transducer has a 180° omnidirectional beam width. It is available in aluminium. TDR40V The transducer has a 40° vertical beam width. It is available in aluminium.
• The period of time between commissioning and the final acceptance of the equipment by the end user or owner Unless other arrangements have been made in the contract, the Kongsberg cPAP MKII warranty period (as specified in the contract) begins when the acceptance documents have been signed.
MKII Instruction Manual Support information Should you need technical support for your cPAP MKII you must contact a Kongsberg Maritime office. A list of all our offices is provided on our website. You can also contact our main support office in Norway.

MKII Instruction Manual Installing the transducer The transducer needs to be protected during launch and recovery of the ROV. Prerequisites It is important to get a good line of sight to the LBL transponders while the ROV is navigating close to the seabed.
Getting started Connecting power and ground to the transceiver The transceiver must be connected to a suitable power source and must be properly grounded. Context External connector pinout, page 15 Procedure Connect wire 6 and 8 in the pigtail. When 6-8 are linked, the transceiver is ON. Connect wire 7 to power.
MKII Instruction Manual Connect the RS-232 Rx wire 3 from cPAP to the RS-232 Tx from APOS. Connect the RS-232 ground wire 2 from cPAP to the RS-232 ground from APOS. Pre-deployment checks Context Before deploying the transceiver, it is important to do the following checks to make sure the operation goes smoothly.
Getting started External connector pinout The external connector is for power and connection to APOS. This is the pin configuration for a male connector, as seen towards the connector (face view). Pin number Signal RS-232 Tx Ground RS-232 Rx Not connected Not connected On/Off External power(24 VDC)
MKII Instruction Manual User connector pinout The user connector is for systems without APOS. Use the external connector for power and ground. This is the pin configuration for a female plug, as seen towards the plug (face view). Pin number...
MKII Instruction Manual Cleaning The transceiver and transducer must be cleaned after use. Context After retrieving the unit from salt water, it should be thoroughly rinsed with fresh water as usual with this kind of equipment. Procedure Rinse or soak thoroughly with fresh water, the longer the better.

In normal use, a cPAP is controlled from APOS using internal Kongsberg communication protocol. Alternatively, simplified functionality can be obtained by controlling the cPAP directly from user equipment by the way of a set of Kongsberg proprietary NMEA-type messages. This is done via the User port.
