LBV300S2 - Overview

The SeaBotix LBV300S² is designed to expand the capability of the LBV150² systems with an increased depth rating to 300m (1000ft), extended umbilical length of 350m (1148ft), more powerful Brushless DC Thrusters, 480 lumen internal LED lighting, Fiber Optic video/data electronics. The LBV300S² is a compact, ideal offshore tool that is easily transported by a single person.

Enhanced Capability
Taking the proven design of the LBV150² systems and increasing the depth capability to 300 meters (1,000ft) offer operators the ability to expand their inspection parameters. To work at depth the LBV300S² system is supplied with 350 meters (1,148ft) of umbilical and powerful high output Brushless DC thrusters.

Powerful Thrusters
The LBV300S² 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 . 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.

Full Depth Capability
The LBV300S² can operate at its full 300 meter (1,000ft) depth with a generous 350 meters (1,148ft) of our revolutionary small diameter umbilical. Managing the long umbilical is simple with the heavy duty reel. 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 LBV300S² 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 and data electronics provide 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. Use of Fiber Optic electronics include multiple RS232 channels for options such as sonar and positioning system. The programmable Video Overlay displays heading, depth, temperature, thruster gain settings, auto settings, cable turns, and time/date.

Options
The LBV300S² 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 LBV300S² 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.
