DEEP TREKKER DTG2 USER MANUAL

DEEP TREKKER INC.

Warning

Never operate your DTG2 in the presence of unaware swimmers or divers.

Always use a Personal Flotation Device (PFD) and obey any laws pertaining to the operation of your

launch vehicle.

NOTE: Because of the sharp running hardware included with this product, we do not recommend a

rubber blow up raft.

Extreme caution should be taken if piloting the DTG2 ROV in swimming pools, as the sharp edges

could damage the pool liner.

The DTG2 running hardware is very sharp. Be very careful when working on and around the parts.

While the motor is running pay close attention to the propeller. Do not come in contact, or put

fingers near the propeller at any time the system is turned on or serious injury will result.

The speed and mass of this DTG2 ROV can inflict property damage and severe personal injury if a

collision occurs. Never run this ROV in the presence of unaware swimmers or boaters or where the

possibility of collision with people or property exists.

The density of each body of water is different, before operation in new body of water, adjusting the

weight of the ROV is necessary to avoid damage to the ROV or property around it. Each DTG2 ROV is

equipped with ballast weights to place under the handles or on the bottom of the ROV.

Deep Trekker products are to be used by people 16 years of age and over.

Always read the owner’s manual before operation

Safety Precautions

Never attempt to swim after a stalled DTG2. Do not get in the water for any reason to retrieve your

DTG2. Return the DTG2 by gently pulling it back to the boat by the tether. In a case where the

tether is snagged or severed, contact a certified diver to perform the retrieval for you.

Deep Trekker products are to be used by ages 16 and over.

Do not touch the propeller when the motor is spinning. Pay equally close attention to items such as

loose clothing, shirtsleeves, ties, scarves, long hair or anything that may become entangled in the

spinning propeller. If your fingers, hands, etc. come in contact with the spinning propeller, you may

be severely injured.

Keep your launching and piloting area tidy and your tether neatly rolled to avoid tripping while

operating the DTG2.

The speed and mass of this DTG2 ROV can inflict property damage and severe personal injury if a

collision occurs. Never run this ROV in the presence of unaware swimmers or boaters or where the

possibility of collision with people or property exists.

Be aware of the danger around you, including weather, and obey all applicable laws while using

standard water safety procedures.

The density of each body of water is different, before operation in new body of water, adjusting the

weight of the ROV is necessary to avoid damage to the ROV or property around it. Each DTG2 ROV is

equipped with ballast weights to place under the handles or on the bottom of the ROV.

The DTG2 ROV is equipped with lithium ion batteries, completely enclosed in the ROV and controller.

Under no circumstances try to open or disassemble the batteries or expose the batteries to extreme

heat or mechanical shock such as dropping it on a hard surface. If you have not used the battery

pack for a considerable amount of time, the remaining battery life may become short. The battery

pack will gradually discharge over time even while not in use. We recommend fully charging them

every 2 months to ensure they do not fully self-discharge over time.

Delivery and Inspection

Thank you for purchasing the DTG2 inspection and exploration system, the world’s only fully portable,

affordable and easy to use underwater ROV. We want the time you spend with your new remotely

operated vehicle (ROV) to be fun and successful so please read the entire manual before using this

product for the first time.

The DTG2 is ready for use as delivered from the factory. The unit has been fully tested and inspected

prior to shipping, including a pressure test equivalent to the maximum dive depth.

Leaving the batteries fully drained for long periods of time will cause permanent damage. We

recommend fully charging them every 2 months to ensure they do not fully self discharge over time.

Fully inspect your ROV to ensure it has not been damaged during shipping. If you suspect a problem

please contact Deep Trekker support or your authorized Deep Trekker Dealer for assistance. For more

information regarding the charging, see the section in the manual entitled Charging.

The DTG2 is shipped to you with the two shipping set screws in the locked position, the DTG2 will not

operate with these screws locked. This ensures that the rough motions associated with the delivery

service do not damage the internal frame and the servo motor that turns it.

To release the shipping set screws the following steps must be taken.

1) Rotate ROV upside down with the handles facing

downward. This will ensure it does not rotate until the

screw is completely backed out. While in this position, turn

both set screws using a flathead screwdriver counter-

clockwise until the set screw heads are firmly against the

cover plate.

*DO NOT COMPLETELY REMOVE THE SHIPPING SET SCREW

UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. THIS OPENS UP THE SEALED

UNIT AND WILL LEAD TO IMMEDIATE FAILURE IF

SUBMERGED*

2) Slowly rotate ROV to its level position.

System Overview

The DTG2 ROV is designed to operate in fresh or salt water between the temperatures of 0C [32F] to

45C [113F]. This unique ROV incorporates onboard batteries, so the system is completely portable with

no top side generator or box required. The tether is also much smaller and lighter than a tether

designed to carry power. Since there is no voltage drop down a long tether, there is no need to utilize a

high and dangerous voltage. The ROV system operates at 19.2 VDC, and the separate system inside the

controller is less than 14 VDC. The controller replicates a traditional game pad, reducing the learning

curve of successfully operated the DTG2 significantly.

The use of magnetic couplers means that there is no dynamic shaft seal on board the DTG2. This feature

dramatically increases reliability and requires no maintenance to grease or replace any seals on the ROV.

The patent pending pitch control aims the outer shell (thrusters) to any angle +/- 90 degree from center

for a total of 180 degrees. This system which works entirely from within the hull eliminates the

requirement of a third or fourth thruster and further increases reliability and ease of use.

The ROV and tether are 100% waterproof and should not take on water unless damaged. The controller

is splash resistant, but should not be submerged or power washed at any time. Other optional viewing

systems offered are not waterproof in any way and need to be taken care of in outdoor environments.

The ROV charger and controller charger are indoor products that should never be operated near water

or wet conditions.
