LAB PREPARATION |
| |
|
Charge the battery pack |
| |
|
Assemble, as needed, and inspect power and signal connections in computer
tray |
| |
|
Mount communications tray into upper end cap |
| |
|
Insert optical fibre into upper end cap |
| |
|
Inspect o-rings and tighten bolts on optical fibre connector (or blank) |
| |
|
Connect fibre (5 x fibre-ST) to communications components |
| |
|
Mate and inspect video (2 x composite) connection to fibre transceivers |
| |
|
Slide computer tray (halfway) into upper enclosure |
| |
|
Connect video (2 x S-video) between computing tray framegrabber and
cameras (via upper end cap) |
| |
|
Connect video (1 x composite) between computing tray camera and fibre
transceiver |
| |
|
Connect Ethernet (1 x RJ-45) between computing tray and fibre ethernet
components |
| |
|
Slide computing tray forward to marks |
| |
|
Ensure that computer tray grounding tab contacts upper enclosure |
| |
|
Connect 24 volt power connector to computing tray |
| |
|
Connect motor amplifier control lines (5 x RJ-45) and PSU disable line |
| |
|
Connect 4 fibre transceiver power cables and 2 camera power cables
to power supply board |
| |
|
Visually inspect acrylic dome O-rings for gaps |
| |
|
Clean upper end cap O-rings of any dirt or particles, removing if necessary |
| |
|
Grease O-ring taking care not to stretch it |
| |
|
Grease upper enclosure mating surface |
| |
|
Tuck cables into upper end cap (out of contact with power converters) |
| |
|
Mate upper end cap, tighten nuts to 4.86Nm evenly and diagonally |
| |
|
Visually inspect upper end cap O-ring for good seal |
| |
|
Inflate trolley tyres if necessary |
| |
|
Place sub, battery pack and fibre roll into trolley |
| |
|
Take trolley to pool enclosure via lift |
|
|
POOL SIDE |
| |
|
Test ethernet connection to Syseng |
| |
|
Slide battery pack into lower enclosure (mind your back) |
| |
|
Lock battery pack into place |
| |
|
Ensure the battery pack is grounded to the lower enclosure |
| |
|
Connect 12 volt relay power to battery |
| |
|
Connect lower enclosure leak detection sensor |
| |
|
Ensure relay is "disarmed", power to relay is off |
| |
|
Connect 24 volt connector to battery and place connector on LHS of tube |
| |
|
Switch on power to relay |
| |
|
Check relay "armed" light blinking red |
| |
|
Clean lower enclosure O-rings of any dirt or particles |
| |
|
Grease O-ring taking care not to stretch it |
| |
|
Grease lower enclosure mating surface |
| |
|
Tuck cables into lower enclosure away from mating surface |
| |
|
Mate lower end cap (there should be minimal resistance), tighten nuts to 4.86Nm diagonally and evenly |
| |
|
Visually, and by touch, inspect lower end cap O-ring for good seal |
| |
|
Inspect all glands (there are 30 total) |
| |
|
Inspect all thrusters, checking housings and blade wing nuts |
| |
|
Manually rotate thrusters to detect contact with cowling |
| |
|
Apply magnet, check relay "on" light blinking green, power up system |
| |
|
Note that pan tilt camera homes, light to power converters come on,
indicators on computer come on |
| |
|
Connect ethernet and video monitor to surface transceivers |
| |
|
Setup and run support computers and equipment |
| |
|
Check that ethernet and video signals are being transmitted |
| |
|
Perform software load and run to test functionality |
| |
|
Attach crane hook onto sub frame |
| |
|
Lift pool cover, fold it and lay it on a clean surface |
| |
|
Switch off the pool filter pump |
| |
|
Attach tethers to the sub frame |
|
|
IN THE WATER |
| |
|
Hoist Kambara into the water (mind the fibre, magnet cord and tethers) |
| |
|
Watch for excess bubbles! |
| |
|
Drop live fish into the water |
| |
|
Watch Kambara herd them into the corner |
