Aux Devices
Rayfin Aux Ports simplify integration by enabling plug-and-play support for LEDs, Lasers, and NMEA sensors.
Aquorea Mk3 LED Strobe and Lamp
The Aquorea LED is available in White or in various wavelengths for specific deepsea purposes like far-red (734 nm) for natural species behavior studies. Deep-blue (457 nm) for subsea fluorescence and leak detection, and other wavelengths to meet your needs.
White - Aquorea-Mk3-xxxx-BH5-beam(80)-c(white)
500m - SUBC52-MCBH5WAS
6000m - SUBC52-MCBH5W
Color - Aquorea-Mk3-6000-MCBH5-beam(80)
Deep-Red - SUBC52-MCBH5DR
Deep-Blue - SUBC52-MCBH5DB
Other wavelengths available on special request

MantaRay Mk2 Parallel Lasers
The MantaRay Parallel Laser is calibrated for 10cm spacing out to 5m. It is built from Grade 5 Titanium and sapphire to be very durable. Available in two configurations:
6000m Standard
Observatory option - where the laser is configured to be On when powered up
Standard: SUBC49-TI1002P1 - MantaRay-Ti-100-2-P-1

Skate Mk2 Line and Grid Lasers
The Skate Mk2 is stocked in standard models with Line and Grid patterns. All Skate Mk2 lasers are 6000m rated, constructed from Grade 5 Titanium and Sapphire.
Line - SUBC59-MCBH5MLN - Skate-Mk2-6000-Ti-MCBH5M-Line-53.6-520nm
Grid - SUBC59-MCBH5MGR - Skate-Mk2-6000-Ti-MCBH5M-Grid-10x10-520nm
Other patterns such as cross and multiple lines are available on special request with a long lead time

NMEA Sensors
Sensors such as altimeters and CTD can be connected to the Rayfin Aux ports. To work properly it will need to be configured correctly.
The cable pinout has to match Aux bulkhead wiring below
Configured for serial RS485 @ 9600 or 115200 baud
The device has to be set to a 1Hz or slower output rate
The string is a standard NMEA format starting with a ‘$' character and ending in a ‘\n’ or ‘\r’ character
Has to be able to handle voltage from 24-30Vdc
Aux Port Bulkhead Wiring
All SubC Aux Devices have the same bulkhead and pinout to ensure compatibility with Rayfin cameras.
Pin # | SubConn MC-BH-5M |
1 | Ground |
2 | VIN (generally 17 - 30 Vdc) |
3 | TTL Modulation |
4 | RS485 B(-) |
5 | RS485 A(+) |
