Equipment installation
Connect FiGS 2.0 sensor to the FiGS 2.0 power bottle with the supplied cable. Check that the power bottle is
mounted the correct way.
The power bottle is marked with “FiGS side” and “ROV side” on the bottle. If the
power bottle is mounted the wrong way, the sensor will fail to power up. Make sure the receptible is clean
and that the O-rings are clean and un-damaged. The O-rings shall be coated with a thin film of silicone-
based O-ring lube. Insert the connector plug into the receptible and tighten the lock ring firmly. For more
permanent installations, a set screw can be used to secure the lock ring.

Always control the receptible and O-rings for any damage before use. Any failure on the receptable
can damage the sensor. If a receptable has visual damage, the sensor must be repaired. Contact
FTN for service and advice.
