ROV Locator Bundle Mark II

230,450.00263,450.00

The ROV Locator Mk II brings the cost-effectiveness of underwater positioning solutions to a new level. With a 300-meter depth rating and no need to calibrate crystal oscillators or manually sync the distance between units (select auto sync) at mission start-up, you can get up and running in no time.

Description

The ROV Locator Mark II includes a transmitter mounted on the ROV and a receiver module located on the surface. The bundle also comes with a mounting ring and adapter. Simply power up, start the dive and track the ROV location in real-time on the QGroundControl map display. Serial communication and API are available.

Autosync works by exposing the Receiver and Transmitter to GPS or GNSS signals at the start of the mission and optionally at intervals during the mission. Satellite acquisition occurs typically within 30 seconds of power-up. In the canonical case of a ROVL receiver sited near the ROV operator and a ROVL transmitter on the ROV, the satellite acquisition will typically occur in the background, and at the time the ROV is being readied for launch and while the ROVL Receiver IMU calibration is being done.

Maximum Depth Exposure (minimum crush depth) 300 meters
Volume, Receiver Unit 283 ml
Mass, Receiver Unit 335 gm
Volume, Transmitter Unit 283 ml
Mass, Transmitter Unit 298 gm
Absolute Maximum Range 500 meters
Typical Usable Range 300 meters
Apparent Yaw/Azimuth resolution 0.1°
Apparent Elevation angle resolution 0.1°
Slant range measurement resolution 0.1 meters
Slant range error accumulation, baseline (typical) 2 m/hr
Slant range error accumulation, baseline (autosync) 0.5 m/hr
IMU Euler angle accuracy, typical (magnetic errors not included)
Update rate 1 Hz
Ping Frequency 25 kHz
Receiver V-in power

(Note: The receiver is designed to allow operation from a laptop USB port using a serial-to-USB adapter)

4.5V to 16V DC

<1 Watt

Transmitter V-in power

(Note: Power supplies must be able to supply burst currents to prevent drop-out and erratic operation.

While the transmitter will work with a low impedance 5V supply we recommend using 9V or higher)

5V to 28V DC

1.4W @ 5V

1.6W @ 28V

Serial Comms Voltage Levels 3.3V TTL or 5V TTL

Auto Sense

NOTE: RESOLUTION DOES NOT EQUAL ACCURACY.

Topside GPS

Cerulean ROV Locator should work with any 3rd party serial GPS connected to the top-side computer. The following are GPS USB Receivers we have used:

What comes in the box?

  • 1x ROVL Receiver
  • 1x ROVL Transmitter (Beacon)
  • 1x Mounting Ring
  • 1x Bracket

Notes: The Cerulean “6.5-meter serial-to-USB conversion cable” must be preinstalled when purchasing the ROVL Mk II product. It is not upgradeable afterward.
