The CHASING Control Console is a professional control platform designed for high-end professional users, offering robust construction and advanced functionalities for underwater and surface vehicle operations. Its aluminum-alloy shell ensures strength and durability, making it suitable for demanding environments.
Function Description:
The console serves as a comprehensive control hub, capable of simultaneously managing both Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) and Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs). It integrates various professional accessories, including AC direct power supply, USBL (Ultra-Short Baseline) positioning systems, manipulator arms, image sonars, and external lights. The console's ergonomic design incorporates a variety of well-designed switches, buttons, and interfaces to facilitate intuitive and precise control.
Key control elements include:
- Power Switch (1): A long press turns the control console power on or off.
- Standard Interface (2): This port serves multiple functions, including charging the control console, connecting the ROV tether, linking to a handle, and receiving USBL signals.
- ROV Left Angle Adjustment (3): Adjusts the ROV's pitch angle.
- USV Left Control Sticks (4): Used for USV navigation.
- ROV Left Control Sticks (5): Used for ROV navigation.
- RJ45 Interfaces 1 & 2 (6, 7): Provide 10/100Mbps Ethernet connectivity.
- Lifting Platform (8): Controls the ROV lifting platform of the USV.
- USB Interfaces 1 & 2 (9, 10): Standard USB 2.0 ports.
- USB Fast Charging Interface (11): A QC3.0 charging interface for mobile devices.
- USV Function Key Area (12): Dedicated keys for USV-specific functions.
- User Defined Function Key Area (13): Customizable keys for user-specific operations.
- ROV Mount 1 (14): Controls floodlights (press to adjust intensity), laser scalers (press to turn on/off), and grabber claws (press and hold to turn on/off). When a grabber claw is attached, pressing and holding ROV Mount 1 activates it, allowing the ROV's right-thumb wheel to control the claw. Releasing and holding ROV Mount 1 deactivates the claw, restoring the right-thumb wheel to ROV roll angle adjustment.
- Photo/Video (15): Long press to switch between photo and video modes; short press to take photos or record videos.
- Unlock (16): Unlocks or locks motors.
- ROV Mount 2 (17): A user-defined button for ROV accessories.
- One-key Reset (18): Short press repositions the ROV to a horizontal state; long press switches control mode.
- LED Control (19): Turns the ROV fill light on or off.
- 12V DC Interface (20): Provides 12VDC/3A output.
- AC Power Output Interface (21): ROV AC Power Interface.
- AC Power Socket (22): AC power input.
- AC Power Switch (23): Toggles AC power (I=ON, O=OFF).
- ROV Right Thumb Wheel (24): Adjusts the ROV roll angle or controls the grabber claw.
- USV Right Control Sticks (25): Used for USV navigation.
- ROV Right Control Sticks (26): Used for ROV navigation.
- AC Power Protection Switch (27): Air protection and leakage protection switch.
- Signal Indicator Light (28): Displays the status of the control console, ROV, and USV, with a green light indicating normal operation.
- Display Button (29): Adjusts display screen parameters.
- Display (30): A touch screen for interactive control.
- Light Shield (31): Provides shade for the display.
- Wheel (32): Integrated rollers for easy transport.
- Removable Bracket (33): Supports the control console.
- Mechanical Switch (34): Used to completely switch off the control console, preventing further power consumption.

- Multi-device Control: Capable of controlling both ROVs and USVs simultaneously, enhancing operational efficiency.
- Accessory Integration: Supports a wide range of professional accessories, including AC power modules for extended ROV endurance, USBL systems, manipulator arms, image sonars, and external lights.
Maintenance Features:
- Leakage Protection Switch (27): Users should press the button on the upper right corner of this switch monthly to verify its proper functioning.
- Software Updates: Users can visit the official CHASING website (www.chasing.com) to download software upgrade packages and offline maps for the control console.
