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.

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.
