Underwater GPS Accessories
Specialized projects call for specialized equipment. Below you will find details on the range of accessories that can be supplied to support the installation of the G2 system. These accessories have been chosen to enhance the user experience and offers the ability to configure you G2 system differently to meet new requirements.
Locators
There are three Locator types that can be used with the G2 system, each one has unique benefits that optimize the navigation solution depending on the type of target you will be tracking.
U1 Locator
Simply strap the U1 Locator onto the ROV or diver and start positioning. No cables, no external requirements. The U1 is powered by an internal rechargeable battery with an operational lifetime of approximately 10 hours and is charged by using a standard USB-C charger.
D1 Locator
Fully integrated Locator device with its own depth sensor and tether. The D1 Locator is suitable for installation on an underwater platform that does not have a suitable twisted pair available and is connected directly to the G2 Topside.
A1 Locator
The world’s smallest underwater Locator, it is easy to integrate on even the smallest mini-ROVs and other underwater devices which use a tether with an available twisted pair. The ROV must also have a depth sensor to provide the necessary depth information to the G2 Topside.
Topside Devices
These items can be supplied to upgrade your system or replace damaged parts.
Antenna
The Antenna makes deployment of the Underwater GPS G2 baseline fast and easy.
It contains 4 acoustic receivers which are held accurately in place by the antenna structure. This creates a perfect receiver baseline for the Underwater GPS system without the need to measure distances for each receiver separately.
The construction is based on a foldable aluminum tube system which makes the Antenna easily portable when folded. All antennas are supplied with a RAM Mount which makes it easy to mount the antenna to most boats or other structures. When deploying the antenna, you simply use the twist and lock feature of the RAM Mount to secure it in place.
This Antenna can be ordered to upgrade a system that was originally purchased to use the 4 D1 Receivers.
BlueROV2 Integration Kit
This kit provides the Homeplug card and a few additional cables to allow the Underwater GPS G2 system to seamlessly integrate with the BlueROV2.
G2 Topside - Pelican Case
The Pelican Case topside is the best option for most use cases. The housing is watertight, dust-proof and provides excellent protection against the elements. The integrated handle makes it easy to carry.
This product is normally delivered as part of a complete Underwater GPS G2 system. But if you already own a Water Linked locator and baseline, you can purchase this product to get a complete system.
D1 Receiver
High sensitivity, omnidirectional hydro acoustic receiver that converts acoustic waves to a digital data stream. In Underwater GPS applications, the receivers are connected to the topside positioning computer Master-D1.
Brackets
The following items are available in the store to allow you to quickly and easily install the G2 system on specific ROVs.
GoPro bracket for U1 Locator
This bracket will fit perfectly between your U1 Locator and your existing GoPro mount. Some ROVs come equipped with a GoPro mount as standard. This bracket is a perfect fit for those. The bracket is mounted to the U1 Locator using two of the three M3 holes on each side. So Thus, by shifting which holes you use and in which direction you mount the bracket (front, center or back of the Locator), you can achieve three different placements of the mount.
Blueye bracket for U1 Locator
This bracket will fit perfectly between your Locator-U1 and your Blueye Pioner. The bracket is mounted to the Locator-U1 using two of the three M3 holes on each side. Then everything is mounted to the Blueye using the top front mounting hole on the Blueye.
