5 PLATFORM INSTALLATION
The manipulator is designed to be integrated onto different vehicle platforms. The following steps will ensure
a safe and reliable installation on most unmanned vehicles. For information regarding the installation on
common ROV platforms specific instructions may be available. Please contact Blueprint Lab regarding your
vehicle integration requirements for more information.
5.1 Hardware Mounting Setup
Step 1
Select whether the manipulator is to be mounted upright or inverted. The mounting kit can rotate through 360
degrees to allow for attachment to surfaces at different orientations.

Step 2
Using the mounting kit hole dimensions (see mounting kit diagram on Page 18), secure the rear mounting
bracket and the forward mounting bracket to the host platform surface. The rear mounting bracket can either
be secured with 2 x M5 bolts from the top or with 4 x M4 bolts into the tapped holes on the bottom.

Attach the manipulator by feeding the base through the O-ring and securing it with locking nut at the desired
orientation.
