Underwater DCV control systems
June 2024
OceanTools recently delivered two bespoke underwater control systems to a customer with expertise in industrial pump technology, to improve dry-running protection for a hydraulic pumping system.
Following successful deployment of our solution, repeat orders for further systems are anticipated soon.
Each system features a subsea depth rated anodised aluminium control pod with custom electronics and customer-supplied temperature probe. The system monitors pump stator temperature and generates digital signals to automatically open and close a hydraulic directional control valve accordingly.
The current temperature and valve state information are also output via RS485 serial to be displayed on a connected OceanDISP-7K subsea LED matrix display. The deliverables include a set of underwater cable assemblies and a transit case.

Attitude Monitoring Package
April 2024
Are you looking for an attitude monitoring package that operates in deep water applications? Look no further as we have the solution!
The AMP is a precision-engineered, self-contained package combining several OceanTools products in a robust frame to create an integrated subsea inclination measurement system which operates down to 3000m. At the heart of the AMP is a very precise OceanTILT-4K dual axis inclinometer and high visibility OceanDISP-7K LED matrix subsea display, housed in the same underwater housing frame.
The AMP contains an integral OceanCELL-12 battery pack which eliminates the need for an umbilical to the surface, and a C-Switch underwater switch to isolate power from the inclinometer and display when not in use. The unit can either sit horizontally on a metrology stab or magnetic base, or can be deployed vertically using a V plate mount and receptacle. A fishtail tooling handle on top of the frame makes it ROV deployable and recoverable.
Applications for the AMP include the installation of subsea manifolds, suction anchors, templates and other underwater structures.
