Installing the Gauge
UNDERWATER CABLE CONNECTION
The Cygnus 1 ROV Underwater Gauge is provided with a fully-waterproof external cable
connection. To maintain the integrity of the electrical operation and watertight-seal it is
essential that these precautions are observed :
Ö Cable connection should only ever be made in dry ambient conditions at the surface
Connections must never be made, or broken, underwater
Ö Both the male Underwater Cable connector and the Blanking-plug should have
Molykote smeared on the pins before inserting into the Gauge
Ö The male plug-connector should be pushed fully into the female socket-connector, and
then the rubber retaining-loop should be pushed into the groove on the male-connector,
to complete the fully-waterproof connection
L A Blanking-plug is supplied for use - for safety we recommend that the Blanking Plug is
fitted at all times that there is no cable attached to the Gauge body
