Kongsberg cPAP MKII
Quick Reference Guide
Installing the transducer
The transducer needs to be protected during launch and recovery of the ROV.
Prerequisites
It is important to get a good line of sight to the LBL transponders while the ROV is navigating close to the seabed.
This can be solved by using a hydraulic ram to raise and lower the transducer as needed.
Connecting power and ground to the transceiver
Context
Procedure
1 Connect wire 6 and 8 in the pigtail.
When 6-8 are linked, the transceiver is ON.
2 Connect wire 7 to power.
Make sure that the external power supply 24 VDC is between 20 and 28 VDC.
3 Connect wire 8 to ground.
Connecting to APOS
Systems without APOS must connect to the User connector.
Procedure
1 Connect the RS-232 Tx wire 1 from cPAP to the RS-232 Rx from APOS.
2 Connect the RS-232 Rx wire 3 from cPAP to the RS-232 Tx from APOS.

Pre-deployment checks
Procedure
1 Make sure the interface cable is properly fastened and that a dummy plug is installed on the unused bulkhead connector.
2 Push the pressure relief valve in to confirm that it is flush with the end cap.
3 Perform a communication check with APOS before launching.
4 Make sure there will be a free line of sight between the transceiver’s transducer and the seabed transponders.
Lubricating SubConn ® connectors
Procedure
1 Grease the connector with Molykote 44 Medium or equivalent grease.
A layer of grease corresponding to minimum 1/10 of the socket depth should be applied to the female connector.
2 Check that the inner edge of all sockets is completely covered, and a thin transparent layer of grease is visible on the face of the connector.
3 Fully mate the male and female connector in order to secure optimal distribution of grease on pins and in sockets.
4 Open and check for grease on every male pin, to confirm that enough grease is applied.
Add more if necessary.
5 Connect and tighten the locking sleeve.
