Each Operator Control Console requires some sort of external topside power, and the Expeditionary Splashproof controller also requires the ROV On-Board Batteries when used in stand-alone mode.
External Topside Power Requirement Specifications
The Expeditionary Splashproof Controller has its own internal battery and an external charger, like most laptops. The external charger requires 100-250 VAC, 50, 60Hz (typically plugged into a conventional 15 Amp, 120 VAC wall outlet in the United States. Other countries that use 240 V may have different amperage ratings for their residential outlets).
The Workhorse Splashproof and Workhorse controllers require 100-250 VAC, 50, 60 Hz at a minimum of 3,000 Watts. (on 120 VAC supplies, this equates to 25 Amp, and on 240 VAC, 12.5 Amp).
