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.
