# Quick Start for BlueROV

### Requirements:

#### Hardware: 

* ROVL Transmitter/Transceiver + [mounting solution.](/c/ethernet-rov-locator/rovl-mounting/rov-deepside-mounting.md)
* ROVL  Receiver/Transceiver + [mounting solution](/c/ethernet-rov-locator/rovl-mounting/topside-mounting.md).
* Blue Robotics ROV (BlueROV2) or other vehicle 

#### Software: 

* [Cerulean SonarView](https://docs.ceruleansonar.com/c/sonarview/)  

### Hardware Setup

1. Attach the transmitter/transponder to the ROV using the [mounting solution you have chosen](/c/ethernet-rov-locator/rovl-mounting/rov-deepside-mounting.md). Cerulean supplies a mounting bracket with each transmitter or transponder.
2. Power off the vehicle completely and open the primary electronics enclosure. 
3. Route the transmitter/transponder cable to the vehicle's primary electronics enclosure. **If a penetrator is not supplied on the electronics enclosure end of the cable:** Measure twice, then cut the cable to length ensuring there is enough cable to install a penetrator. 
4. Ensure the sealing surfaces and o-ring of the transmitter cable penetrator are lightly greased and free of debris. Install it in the ROV electronics enclosure and tighten the cable penetration. 
5. Connect the power leads to the vehicle's power distribution rails. (<mark style="color:red;">Red +</mark>, Black -)
6. (**for Mk II Transmitters and Mk III Transponders**) Tape the serial leads (white and green wires) so they don't short together or short to exposed terminals in the ROV.
7. (**for Mk V Transmitters, optional step**) Connect the four-wire Ethernet lead to an unused port on the ROV's Ethernet switch. Note: If you are using the Mk V Transmitter with a Mk III Transponder, you do not need to connect the Ethernet lead.
8. Secure wires using waxed lacing cord or zip ties with a small strain relief loop to prevent strain on the pins and connectors. Close the primary electronics enclosure.&#x20;
9. Power on the vehicle.&#x20;
10. Mount the transceiver/receiver using your chosen [mounting method](/c/ethernet-rov-locator/rovl-mounting/topside-mounting.md). If you are using this ROVL as part of an Omnitrack system, you should look [here ](https://docs.ceruleansonar.com/c/omnitrack-user-guide/topside-rov-locator-floatation-and-mounting-options)too.
11. Connect the transceiver/receiver to your PC (serial or USB version) or to your ROV network (Ethernet version).
12. The ROVLe can now be configured using its [built-in web server](/c/ethernet-rov-locator/configuring-the-rovle.md) (recommended for Ethernet versions), or with [Cerulean SonarView](/c/sonarview/device-specific-controls/rovl-omnitrack.md) which is available as a BlueOS Extension as well as a Linux, macOS, or Windows app. The ROVLe is also configurable though CeruleanTracker (Microsoft Windows only, deprecated).&#x20;
13. We recommend you do a [magnetometer calibration](/c/ethernet-rov-locator/cerulean-inertial-measurement-unit-cimu/cimu-calibration-background/cimu-magnetometer-calibration.md) once the receiver/transceiver is associated with its mounting solution.&#x20;
