System Integration and Ship Requirements |
Integration varies by ship/vessel. SubC systems include integration support and training. The following are the basic requirements to operate a drop camera system: 
|
A small vessel with the capability to mount a winch weighing 130 kg to 160 kg or a pot hauler with a minimum lifting capacity of 80 kg or more, having a cable roller with a minimum diameter of 8”. |
|
The ship should include GPS and sounder systems. GPS can be added. |
||
|
The ship should have 110/120 or 230 VAC, 1800W available. Can run on a small generator. |
||
|
An A-frame on the aft of the ship or a boom on the side to mount a cable sheave and deploy the system. The system can be deployed using a winch or a pot hauler. Requirements for the deployment system are given above. |
||
|
A rugged PC with at least Windows 10 that can run on board or on the aft deck will be required. A daylight-readable monitor is recommended. |
||
|
At least 2 personnel are available to learn to operate and maintain the system |
||
|
Loading |
The winch comes with attachable lifting posts for 4-person carry but may require a small dock crane depending on the vessel. |
|
|
Integration |
Each commercial system includes two hours of virtual integration support with SubC’s team to support installation aboard the vessel. Details such as where power is being sourced, how deck cables are being routed, where Ethernet equipment is located, and where the control laptop will be located are discussed. |
