The LBV300-6 and LBV600-6 systems have a 1200W vehicle

power supply. SeaBotix Inc. developed the SPS3000 to

provide reliable power for operating the LBV, and for

overcoming tether power loss for tethers of up to 1km.

Please refer to the SeaBotix Inc.SPS3000 User Guide for

information, settings, usage and operational features.

Section 1: The LBV

The LBV should always be handled by the bumper frame only. Utilize

the cutouts as shown below to handle the LBV. Do not utilize the

thruster guards, the thrusters, or any other attached devices as they

are not designed to handle the weight of the LBV in the air.

ALWAYS LIFT THE LBV BY THE HANDLE HOLES

PROVIDED.

1.1 The LBV300XL and LBV600XL have been equipped with a 1200 watt

Vehicle Power Supply (VPS). This VPS is designed for water cooling.

NEVER OPERATE THE LBV OUT OF THE

WATER FOR MORE THAN 15 MINUTES AT A

TIME.

Failure to follow this direction may cause the VPS to fail.

DOCS-004 Manual, LBV300-6 and LBV600-6 Rev C – 12APR10 Page 2 of 8

1.2 The basic construction of the LBV300-6 and the LBV600-6 is the same as

that of the LBV150. The communications and video transfer takes place via a

fiber optic line inside the tether.

1.3 To trim the weight on the LBV, use the lead strip mounting locations as

shown above. (blue arrows)

1.4 Always trim your LBV for the water in which you will be flying it. Proper

trim facilitates LBV control and extends thruster life.

Section 2: Bumper Frame and Float Removal

2.1 Remove any float mounted devices such as SONAR and tracking.

2.2 Place the LBV on its top.

2.3 Remove the (3) M5 button head screws holding the bumper frame to the

float and remove the M6 nut holding it to the camera chassis end cap.

2.4 The two external thrusters are attached on the inside of the LBV. Lay each

bumper frame to the side.

2.5 Use the service manual instructions for removing a body float to remove

the LBV float.

2.6 Remove the cables from the aux 1 and aux 2 connections on the

backplane. This procedure now frees the bumper frames from the LBV.

Assembly and disassembly instructions are identical to the instructions on the

SeaBotix Inc. web site for assembly and disassembly of the LBV150.

LBV600 series vehilces have a special power can that is not discussed in

this document.

Section 3: Care and Troubleshooting of the Fiber Optic Cable.

While SeaBotix Inc. has made every attempt to provide strength around

the fiber optic line, care MUST be taken to ensure a long lasting

dependable connection.

WHEN CONNECTING THE TETHER TO THE LBV, ATTACH THE SHACKLE

FIRST, THEN CONNECT THE FIBER OPTIC LINE, FOLLOWED BY THE

POWER CABLE.

WHEN DISCONNECTING THE TETHER FROM THE LBV, DISCONNECT

THE POWER CONNECTOR FIRST, FOLLOWED BY THE FIBER OPTIC

CONNECTOR, AND THEN THE SHACKLE. REPLACE ALL PROTECTIVE

COVERS AND CAPS.

3.0.1 Never place bends of less than 150mm (6”) dia. on the fiber optic lines or the

tether.

3.0.2 When operation of the LBV is complete, rinse both the fiber and power

connectors with fresh water.

3.0.3 Always dry the end of the fiber connector before installing the protective boot cap.

3.0.4 Always ensure that the fiber bulkhead connector on the LBV is dry prior to

connecting the tethers fiber connector.

3.0.5 Do not use sharp objects to clean out the fiber connector. It is ok to just blow the

water out with low pressure (less than 1 bar,) air. Canned computer dusting air is a

suitable source for the low pressure air.

3.0.6 Do not pull the LBV by the fiber optic line.

3.0.7 When placing the reel into the shipping case, make sure that the fiber line is

secure so it, and will not be damaged when the transit case lid is closed.

3.0.8 When connected correctly, the fiber connector locking sleeve will be seated

almost flush to the bulkhead.

3.0.9 If the connector does not fully seat, visually inspect for the following problems:

1. The ID key is not aligned correctly

2. Water in the bulkhead connector

3. Foreign object or debris in the bulkhead.

3.1 Data Communications error, and or loss of video.

The image on the next page is the “Local” Fiber Optic Board, (PCA039) mounted in the

Pull Out Hub of the Universal Reel System. By component layout, it is identical to the

board mounted in the camera chassis of the LBV. The part number for the LBV board is

PCA038 for reference.

Please refer to your LBV configuration to determine which channels are

utilized on your LBV.

3.2 No Link

If you receive no link indications, the issue is possibly in the tether itself. To test,

disconnect the fiber from the LBV, remove the Pull Out Hub from the reel, and

disconnect the fiber optic cable. Use a high intensity white light, LED flashlight or

similar, to shine light from end to end.

NOTE: The fiber optic connector must be centered over the light source for this test to

work.

Light shining into the wet end (FC) connector

of the tether. Light shining,

Fiber OK No Light

Bad Fiber

If there is no light transmission, the fiber optic cable inside the tether is damaged. At

this point, you will need to get access to a fiber optic TDR (Time Delay Reflectometer)

to determine at what point in the tether the damage has occurred. SeaBotix Inc. does

offer a Fiber Optic Re-termination Kit to allow the user to complete this repair in the

field. Please contact [email protected] to assist in identifying the proper kit for

your application.

A ST-ST fiber optic cable can be utilized to verify that the issue is in the tether itself. To

perform this verification, insert one end of the ST fiber cable into the FC connector on

the rear of the LBV and install the other end onto the connector on the MUX hub. Leave

the wet mateable connector and the silver ODU connector for POWER connected. Turn

the LBV on. If the LBV operates correctly at this point, the issue is a faulty fiber in the

tether itself.

Section 4: URS350 or URS750 REEL

4.1The URS reel is water resistant. However, DO NOT immerse it in water!

4.2To unlock the reel Handle, gently rotate the black thumb lever located in the center

of the handle and pull the handle straight back from the reel. Use this same

procedure to remove the handle from the handle holder.

4.3 Avoid lifting the reel by the chrome bars.

ALWAYS USE AT LEAST TWO PEOPLE TO LIFT THE REEL

ALWAYS SECURE THE REEL TO THE DECK OR THE DOCK.

UNDER HIGH LOAD CONDITIONS, MONITOR THE

TEMPERATURE OF THE TETHER ON THE REEL. IF IT

STARTS GETTING WARM, POUR COOL WATER OVER

THE TETHER EVERY FEW MINUTES.

If you have any questions or comments,

Please call Customer Service at (619) 450-4000 x 124.
