Magtrack 415
Subsea cable tracking system for cables down to 1500m depth
Centimetric relative and accurate 3D cable positioning
Precise cable fault pinpointing
Roll/pitch compensated sensors
Low power consumption
Compact, robust and lightweight
Description
The Magtrack is a cable tracker system with 4 small sensors which integrate 3-axis fluxgate magnetometers and inclinometers. It can accurately detect cable positions, track the cable and show burial depth. It is typically installed in front of and in the rear of an ROV or a trencher which allows to also determine the slope of the cable.
The subsea electronics module (SEM) is the hub where pre-processing of the sensor data takes place. Raw and pre-processed data are transferred from the ROV to the surface vessel. The Magtrack data can be processed further in a survey system together with other relevant information.
