Depth Sounder Test Set
DSTS-5A features include an electronic attenuator with an increased range of 86 dB, dual-frequency operation, a depth resolution of 1 mm and internal space for custom load installation. Electronic Devices Inc.
Optical High Accuracy DO Sensor
RINKO I is equipped with a data logger, which is used in both the current COMPACT series and next-generation INFINITY series. The company provides two sonde types. The first is titanium for deep water, and the second is resin for shallow-water use. The sensor can be used for long-term self mooring. Alec Electronics Co. Ltd.
Integrated Video Inspection System
The ivis-7080s is a rugged, compact underwater inspection system that integrates two cameras, an 8-in. TFT screen, depth and temperature sensors and digital video recording to flash memory in a hard case. The system can be used for pre-dive site surveys, fish monitoring in fish farm cages and internal pipe inspections. Kongsberg Maritime Ltd.
Data Fusion, Visualization Software
Eonfusion is software for visualizing, exploring and analyzing environmental data. It offers integration of data sources with different projections, provides powerful support for visualization and analysis of temporal data, supports coincident visualization of multiple vector and raster data sets and fuses spatially and temporally coincident data. Myriax Pty. Ltd.
Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge
Multigauge 3000 uses multiple echos to ignore coatings up to 6 mm on subsea pipelines, bridges, piers, pilings, ship hulls and applications associated with the offshore industry. It also has an automatic measurement verification system and Coating Plus+ to ignore coatings up to 20 mm thick. Tritex NDT.
Attitude and Positioning Systems
A pre-calibrated weatherproof mounting has been designed to house the Octopus F180™ inertial sensors and accommodate the twin Novatel antennas, enabling the system to be calibrated prior to being installed. Currently available as an integrated element of the Coda Underwater Inspection System™, the new mounting will be available as an optional accessory for all F180 one-box models later this year. CodaOctopus Products Ltd.
High-Definition Marine Display
The MDU37™ is a 37-in. LCD display designed to withstand the harsh marine environment. When panel mounted, it meets NEMA 4/4X requirements. When bulkhead mounted, it meets NEMA 12. All electronics are conformal coated to protect against corrosion. Comark Corp.
Data Acquisition Unit
DAS1 combines analog conditioning electronics with A-D conversion and data processing in an integrated system. It is capable of monitoring a large array of sensors, in particular the Mag-03RC Three-Axis Marine Magnetometer. Bartington Instruments Ltd.
Handheld Sensing System
Jax, a handheld, field-portable analytical instrument, allows data to be collected in real time in a variety of settings. Jax can be used to help marine biologists and hatcheries measure upwelling/downwelling and supply fluorescence readings to gauge the health of fish, coral and other sea life. Ocean Optics Inc.
Cyanobacteria Detector
FlowCAM® is a cell and particle imaging and analysis system that automatically detects the presence of cyanobacteria in water; takes high-resolution, full-color digital images of each individual cell; differentiates the cells from harmless, nontoxic species of algae; and saves the images and measurement data for analysis. Fluid Imaging Technologies Inc.
Desktop Marine Radar
VisionMaster FTTM 250 is designed to comply with the IEC 62366 CAT 2 technical requirements and meets the IMO carriage requirements for vessels from 5,000 to 10,000 GT. It gives smaller vessels automatic tracking and plotting technology and has a high-resolution LCD screen. Sperry Marine, Northrup Grumman Corp.
Shore Power Monitor
ShIP 110TM is a monitoring and alarm device that prevents destructive overheating at the shore power inlet plug on docked vessels. The ShIP system also will automatically disconnect the AC shore power when an unsafe temperature develops at the power inlet plug. Prime Technology LLC.
Water Mist System
FlexFOG® can be integrated into a single-supplier fire detection and suppression system. It has a pump pressure that is about 20 percent of similar high-pressure systems, and it reduces weight by approximately 2 tons. Autronica Fire and Security AS.
Payload Control System
Aqua MicroBAT is a small stabilized payload control system for micro and mini platforms. Successfully depth tested at 2 meters, it can be installed on a variety of vessels. Bental Industries Ltd.
Analog Proximity Switches
Series 509 C8 analog sensors, with a compact rectangular housing of 8 by 8 by 50 mm, have a sensing range from 0 to 4 mm and a temperature stability between -25 and 70°C. M8 analog sensors are also available and feature output voltage ranges of 0 to 5 V or 0 to 10 V. Contrinex Inc.
