STANDARD FEATURE |
NOVA RAY® ROV MODEL 3500
SPECIFICATIONS |
Depth Rating |
305meters (1,000 feet). |
Stability in Strong Currents |
Accurate wing design counters destabilizing effects of cable
drag. Results in faster, more stable performance in currents with
less cable. |
Dual Operation Mode |
Can be towed or use thruster power in strong currents. See Speed for
knots. |
Speed |
Up to 9 knots in currents under tow. With thrusters: 4 to 6
knots (1/4 or 1/3hp respectively) |
Cable to Depth Ratio |
Under tow, Nova Ray® provides deeper operation with less cable
than other Underwater Towed Vehicles (UTV). Nova Ray® can operate
up to 70% deeper than conventional UTV systems using the same cable
length. Under tow, operates at a ratio of 2.38:1. With thrusters,
the Nova Ray® can reduce the ratio to 2:1. With less cable, the Nova
Ray® system is lighter, smaller and easy to deploy anywhere in the
world on a rapid response basis. |
Thrusters |
DC brushless rare earth motors. Two (1 port; 1 starboard) magnetic
drive; 1/4hp standard with 150 volts DC. Optional 1/3 hp. Propellers
and Thruster Guards (HMW plastic): 75mm for 1/4 hp., and 90 mm for
1/3 hp. |
Control Surfaces |
Rudder provides directional control; two elevons provide vertical
positioning (depth control). |
Length, Diameter, Type |
Length: 300 ft (91.4 m). Diameter: 15mm. Type: 12-conductor,
neutrally buoyant. |
Custom Umbilical |
Length to fit user specifications; optional fiber optic available. |
Operating Range |
-2 to 42 degrees C. |
Integrated Control Console |
3 axis joystick; mode selection buttons and slide throttle;
auto pilot capability; LCD monitor; laptop with proprietary Windows™
based software ; LCD video display. I/O: video out, monitor in; RS-232
and RS-485, hydrophone ready. |
Digital Onboard Electronics |
Fully Digital: Precise control and easy integration of digital
peripheral devices. Proprietary embedded software. |
Flight Control |
Choice of manual or 3 auto pilot modes: Heading Hold, Wings
Level and Depth Hold (optional altimeter provides an additional mode:
Altitude Hold). |
Depth Sensor |
Depth gauge with range of 0 to 340 meters. |
Compass |
Solid state with pitch and roll correction and integrated thermometer. |
