For professional users, some sensor require a laptop and Window to run their own App
for data processing and analysis. FIFISH Window App run on the Panasonic Toughbook
FZ-55 is ideal for such application.
FIFISH App allow you to see the camera, sonar information, and U-QPS in the same

Controlling Definition
Definition of Controlling
The FIFISH PRO W6 uses the patented Smart Thruster Array™ to ensure the ultimate
maneuverability and delivers the 6 DOF (degree of freedom).
• W6 can move in descend & ascend, left and right, forward and backward.
• W6 can rotate in 360 yaw (z-axis), 360 pitch (y-axis), 360 roll (x-axis).
We have simplified the Left Control Stick, Right Control Stick, Left Wheel and Right Wheel
into the following symbol. The arrows on RC indicate the command and the arrows on ROV
indicate the actual movements.

Controlling Modes
Controlling Modes
FIFISH PRO W6 supports 3 modes for control: A, S, and C.
A is Attitude mode, S is Sport mode, C is the Combination mode.
Attitude Mode
Attitude mode is designed for beginners. The ROV will not roll in Attitude mode. The ROV
will stay in same depth moving when depth holding is ON. Even with pitch angle, the
depth will be the same.
Sport Mode
Sport mode is designed for skillful pilots. Sport mode will enable the rolling freedom, so,
you will access all 6 degree of freedom of W6. Controlling and moving based on the FPV
(Frist Person View), do not operate in third person view. The ROV will only stay in the
same depth with no command input, when depth holding ON.
Combination Mode
Combination mode activate the head tracking controlling via FIFISH VR Goggle, which
allow pilot to use the FIFISH VR Goggle to pitch, roll and yaw. Combination mode delivers
the intuitive control and immersive experiences. Combination mode supports head
tracking and remote controller working together.
Accessories Attached
The right wheel will ONLY be working in Attitude mode or Combination mode for motor
driven accessories. For example, robotic arm, water sampler, robotic fish clamp, and
compass ruler, and sludge sampler etc.

Maintenance
1. The vehicle should be visually inspected following each dive to ensure that no
mechanical damage has occurred.
2. Soak the submersible in fresh water at least 1 hour, then rinse the submersible with
fresh water, then air dry and avoid direct sunlight.
3. Keep every connector (port and plug) dry and clean at all time. Put the protective
cap back on the connector when not using. The salt and moisture may cause
corrosion on the connectors. Clean the plug with running fresh water and dry with air
blow gun or dust blower.
4. Check the propellers after every dive. Make sure NO entanglement, such as,
seaweed or fishing lines.
5. Inspect the tether for cuts and/or nicks or kinks in the outer shell.
6. If you have spot malfunction part or parts after dives, contact your local services
center for help. For more information about FIFISH Authorized Services Centers
https://www.qysea.com/support/repair-center/
7. Store ROV and RC in dry and cool environment (Temperature range: 5°C to 25°C or
41°F to 77°F).
8. For long-term storage, keep 50% to 60% of battery level. Charge and discharge
every 90 days to keep the activation of Lithium battery.
