ROVL-e PC Board Internal Connections

In the process of routing cables through mounting fixtures you may need to open the ROVL case to disconnect and reconnect cables. Connector assignments are shown in the images below. READ THE IMPORTANT NOTES BELOW.

Opening the enclosure voids the warranty with respect to water damage to the internal components or mechanical damage to the connectors and wiring.

Avoid opening and closing the ROVL enclosures if possible. If you do open one, use care to keep the o-rings clean and undamaged. Use good o-ring practices when re-closing the case and/or installing and removing cable penetrators.

Use the pry notches in the ROVL case to carefully ease the case open. You should use the pry tool supplied in our maintenance kit, or you can order them from Blue Robotics (see image immediately below). Using brute strength to open the cases opens up the possibility of accidentally jerking the case open when the seal releases, ripping the wires out of the plugs or ripping the sockets off the PCB.

Avoid removing the PCB from the case! There's a picture of the bottom of the PCB below if you are just curious.

The connectors are all JST-GH series. These have locking mechanisms to keep them in place. GENTLY squeeze the tab to release the lock. These connectors require almost no force to insert and remove. If you're pulling hard or pushing hard, STOP IT. You're doing something wrong.
