Made from 6082 grade aluminium, the lights are designed and manufactured to operate in the toughest conditions. With low power consumption (34 - 40 W), light weight, high brightness (3520 lumens) and a long life, these lights are ideal for the subsea environment. With a depth rating of 3,000 msw, these lights are made to fit a variety of vehicles and are compatible with existing Saab Seaeye vehicles in the field.
Ideal for vehicle camera / light platforms and multi-beam sonars, the units are rated to 3,000m. The side entry lid provides easy access for maintenance and inspection. The Pan and Tilt incorporates common units for both the pan and tilt functions, making the units easier to maintain and fault-find. 24 VDC brushless motors drive harmonic gear modules to provide a high output torque, combined with precise control and positional feedback in a compact design. Control is via RS485 (PT35N) or Castle 2 Protocol (PT35N-C2). The housing is oil filled with an integral compensator and includes a low oil level alarm.

Our connector receptacle shells, plug and mounting threads are made of high strength stainless steel and are corrosion resistant to salt spray, sea water, sand, mud, mineralised or demineralised water and hydrocarbons etc.
Watertightness and depth pressure rating have been given high priority during the design of the connectors and cable whips.
