6. UNPACKING
Remove wrapping material taking care to inspect for any surface damage or items that may have
become separated from the connector, such as 'O' seals. Do not use a knife to cut the wrapping
material, as this may cause damage to any elastomeric parts of the connector. Do not remove
protection caps until connectors are ready for installation. On removal do not allow the hoses to drag
over the edges of the packing crate.
6.1 PROTECTIVE CAPS
All SpecTRON 5 Connectors/Penetrators come supplied with a protective cap. These can either be
dust caps, protective caps or IP caps (Ingress Protection caps). Dust caps (typically yellow in colour)
can be simply removed by twisting or pulling them off. Protective caps and IP caps (typically black in
colour) can be removed as detailed below.
6.1.1 ROV Plug Cap
The ROV Plug cap is latched onto the Plug connector via the connector latching mechanism. In
order to remove the cap, it is recommended that the operator stand the Plug vertically on the cap,
stand on the flange of the cap and pull on the ROV handle of the Plug connector. This will disengage
the latching mechanism of the Plug. Do not try to pull the cap directly off the plug as this may
damage the latching mechanism of the Plug.
Refitting the Plug cap can be done by simply pushing the cap back onto the nose of the plug until
the latching mechanism of the plug engages.
