LBV200L2 - Overview

The SeaBotix LBV200L² takes the highly capable and successful LBV150² to the next level with a longer 250 meter (810ft) umbilical, an increased depth rating to 200m, more powerful Brushless DC Thrusters, 480 lumen internal LED Lighting, fiber optic video and FSK electronics.

Exceptionally Well Equipped MiniROV
The LBV200L² includes as standard many of our most requested options. There simply isn’t a more feature-packed turn-key ROV in the Mini or Micro range with the performance characteristics of the LBV200L². The result is a truly complete system at a very reasonable price.

Powerful Thrusters
The LBV200L² is equipped with four powerful, oil-compensated, Brushless DC Thrusters. There is 1-lateral, 2-forward, and 1-vertical thruster, enabling maneuverability in four axes, just like a helicopter. The additional lateral thruster adds the capability to fly sideways, allowing the operator to keep either camera on target while piloting along a ship hull or dam surface. On-the-fly, 10-step variable power control to each axis allows for smooth video and sensor recording. For added reliability, serviceability, and peace of mind, each thruster is identical and independent of the vehicle enclosure, ensuring no dynamic seals penetrate the vehicle’s electronics enclosure.

Long Umbilical
The LBV200L² can operate at its full 200 meter (660ft) depth with a generous 250 meters (820ft) of our revolutionary small diameter umbilical. Managing the long umbilical is simple with the heavy duty reel. Use of fiber optics in the umbilical is transparent to the operator by using a special transmitter potted into the umbilical, with only a wet-mating connector needed externally. The extremely small-diameter of our umbilical presents at least 25% less drag than other systems meaning the vehicle is controlled by the operator, not the umbilical.

Intuitive Controls
Operation of the LBV200L² is simple with the standard Integrated Control Console featuring the acclaimed LBV Hand Controller. Standard Auto-Heading, Depth, and Trim, as well as all system functions are at your fingertips in a logical, simple layout. Added features include the 38 cm (15") monitor behind a waterproof panel, sunshade for direct light operations and sealed components for harsh environment operations. The programmable Video Overlay displays heading, depth, temperature, thruster gain settings, auto settings, cable turns, and time/date.

High-Quality Video and Sensor Data
The Fiber Optic video system provides crystal-clear images from the standard high-resolution color and low-light B/W cameras. Both cameras have a total 270º field of view through 180º rotation of the camera enclosure. The internal, fully-adjustable LED Lighting array provides brilliant, white light as it tracks the color camera. Custom FSK electronics are included to provide an additional RS232 channel for options such as sonar for harsh environment operations. The programmable Video Overlay displays heading, depth, temperature, thruster gain settings, auto settings, cable turns, and time/date.

Options
The LBV200L² is a very complete system, however, many options are available to further customize the system to each client's requirements. Add items like a three jaw grabber, scanning sonar, USBL tracking system, external lighting and Cygnus UT probe.

Extended Support
Each LBV200L² is supplied with the SeaBotix 24-Month Limited Warranty. This added coverage along with our 24/7 Tech Support adds peace of mind and confidence. Personalized factory and on-site training is also available.
