TRV-005 Series Ultra-High Thrust Inspection ROV
The TRV-005 is rated to 3,330 fsw operating depth (1000m)

This robust ROV is primarily designed for offshore use. The compact size and weight allows it to be economically transported and deployed. The TRV-005 class is large enough to provide a stable platform for video and sonar surveys offshore and with most ancillary 3rd party data acquisition. The TRV-005 excels where productivity, reliability, ultra-high thrust, and minimal down time is essential to a project's success.

Standard Features and Benefits:

Frame

The TRV-005 Series has an open, angular frame made of T6061 marine grade aluminum which allows superior through flow for better hydrodynamics. The rugged frame is designed to take abuse and allows secure mounting of any auxiliary equipment. Finally, the aluminum frame contributes significantly to the mass required for stability.

Thruster

The thruster configuration on the TRV-005 (Port, Starboard, Lateral and 2 x Verticals) allows for a 6 kt. Forward, 3 kt. Lateral and 4 kt. Aft capability. In addition, the TRV-005 rotates 120 degrees per second and provides the above performance figures at only 45% power. This is designed into the TRV-005 whereby the desired performance is achieved without running the system at close to maximum power, thus providing greater reliability on all components.

Modular Design

In an attempt to minimize downtime, the TRV-005 has a totally modular design. This allows minimum expertise to maintain the TRV-005, keeping the vehicle in a fully operational condition. Telemetry, Power and Capacitor bottles, HPU and Valve Pack are separate for easy change out. From convenient, easy to remove connectors, oil filled cables and simplicity in removing the foam block for complete access, the  TRV-005 was designed for the true offshore environment.

Maneuverability

TRV-005 has the ultimate in vehicle maneuverability with ability to proceed Fore, Aft, Rotate, Lateral, Vertical (normal mode), Vertical (pitch mode).

Independent Variable Gain on Horizontal and Vertical Thrusters

To maximize pilot control, TRV-005 has 0 to 100% Variable Thruster Gain on 2 circuits (Horizontals and Verticals). Forward Trim is also standard.

Pitch Mode

Pitch and Roll Annotation in degrees, automatically displayed when selecting Pitch Mode.

Cathodic Protection

Ag/Ag/Chl Proximity Probe including CP Annotation with 1mv accuracy.

Novatech Strobe

Recovery strobe with pressure switch.

Sonar

TRV-005 comes standard with an MS 1000 Sonar or comparable model as per client's request.

PA 500 Altimeter

Altimeter standard on TRV-005

Auto Altitude

Four-function HD Manipulator with Rope Cutter

Modified Hydro-Lek 4-function manipulator with 1" Rope Cutter, all fittings changed to Swagelok including the Stainless Steel hoses. When stowed, the Manipulator is completely protected from accidental impacts and does not interfere with Camera vision.

Cameras

TRV-005 comes standard with 4 Cameras: 1 x Color Camera with Zoom, Focus, Pan & Tilt, 1 x low-light Black & White with Pan & Tilt, 1 x 70 degree Color Manipulator camera and 1 x 50 degrees Color camera with 360 degree rotate.

Penetrators

TRV-005 comes standard with 3 spare penetrators to allow for additional functions as they become necessary.

LED Lighting

Five LED lights on 2 circuits with 0 - 100% variable gain.

Tether

TRV-005 allows up to 3300’ excursions in live boat mode. Deeper options are available with side entry cage. TRV-005 comes standard with a spare 1500’ terminated tether. Other tether lengths are available as per client’s request.

Annotation

TRV-005 comes standard with 10 pages of user annotation including Heading, Depth, Altitude, Turns Counter, C.P., Pitch, Roll.

Remote Joystick

TRV comes standard with a remote joystick which is selected by the Pilot for launch and recovery assistance.
