Other sensors

Dual Leak Sensor These instruments include leak detection sensors: one mounted near the connector end and one mounted at the transducer end of the DVL. This feature provides the user with real-time leak detection monitoring, allowing for peace of mind and strategic decision making during critical, high-pressure missions. Transducer Health Monitor The innovative transducer health monitor provides insight, in near real-time, about the status of the transducer, and alertsthe user of potential problems. The health monitor sensor also tracks pressure cycles, maximum pressure, and operating time for quality tracking purposes. External Sensor Drivers Allows to control the most widely used sensors in the market (CTD, GPS, IMU, etc.) which will save you time and effort during integration. For instance, these drivers allows the DVL to control a SeaBird FastCat CTD or a NXIC CTD or receive data from an unknown RS232 source which sends data in a specific text format.

Teledyne RDI ushers in a new era in Doppler velocity log (DVL) technology with the introduction of its 600kHz and 300kHz Pioneer phased array DVLs. After integrating into hundreds of vehicles and navigating hundreds of thousands of miles, Teledyne RDI taps into its vast experience to launch the newest DVL technology in the market.Designed with unmanned and remotely operated vehicles in mind, the 600kHz and 300kHz compact DVLs can be packaged into small, portable, underwater vehicles. Additionally, these powerful DVLs can be leveraged for surface and subsurface manned and unmanned vessels.Utilizing state-of-the-art electronics, Pioneer DVLs provide an array of advanced internal sensors and offer expanded connectivity with external sensors, while minimizing overall power consumption. The 600kHz and 300kHz DVLs combine Teledyne RDI’s proven bottom detection algorithms and single ping bottom location accuracy with its broadband velocity processing technology, providing users with highly reliable precision velocity data for navigation and position processing, even over indeterminate terrain.Pioneer DVLs are available in self-contained and remote head configurations. The 600kHz and 300kHz DVLs include a new suite of cutting-edge internal sensors:Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) The AHRS MEMS-based inertial measurement unit (IMU) integrates three gyroscopes, three magnetometers, and three accelerometers running an extended Kalman filter (EKF), which means your heading sensor is semi-resistant to magnetic transients during the mission — providing you with accurate orientation data in both static and dynamic conditions.Dual Leak SensorThese instruments include leak detection sensors: one mounted near the connector end and one mounted at the transducer end of the DVL. This feature provides the user with real-time leak detection monitoring, allowing for peace of mind and strategic decision making during critical, high-pressure missions. Transducer Health Monitor The innovative transducer health monitor provides insight, in near real-time, about the status of the transducer, and alertsthe user of potential problems. The health monitor sensor also tracks pressure cycles, maximum pressure, and operating time for quality tracking purposes. Product Features:• Bottom-tracking capability for deep water operations: 1000-4500m depth rating for tracking ranges 100-275m• Compact DVLs that can be packaged into small portable UUVs of 7.5 inches (<19cm) in diameter • Flexible triggering with both trigger in and trigger out• Multiple communications channels, allowing for optimum connectivity with external sensors • Real-time current profiling option provides additional critical data parameters from a single instrument• Self-contained or remote-head options available to meet your needs• Advanced AHRS IMU for accurate vehicle attitude correction in static and dynamic environments• Leak detection and monitoring for peace of mind in the most critically demanding deep missions• Transducer and system health monitoring for real-time health monitoring of your critical navigation asset
