Underwater node

Product catalog summary
Product Overview
The -4H-Underwater Node is designed to route power from shore or batteries to sensors and equipment in underwater monitoring networks. It provides secure global access to the system and connected elements, supporting long-term underwater operations for various subsea monitoring applications.

Operating Principle
The nodes reside on the seabed, interfacing with networked underwater observatories. They ensure reliable access for data collection and parameter configuration, employing a Smart Safety Concept for network protection in case of failure.

Subsea Data and Power Management
The system supports complex underwater sensor and environmental monitoring networks, offering customizable configurations to meet specific customer requirements.

Custom Projects
Options include backup or primary batteries, ConnectorBox for sensor connections, durable Lander frames for sensor mounting, and technology-agnostic systems with customer-specified sensors and cables.

Applications
The node is crucial for power delivery, operational control, and data management in subsea networks, particularly in offshore wind farm developments. It supports continuous ocean and coastal observation, with installations near Helgoland and in the Arctic.

Features
  • Control and monitoring of housekeeping data (amperage, voltage, temperatures)
  • Integration of various measuring techniques
  • Modular operation of benthic systems
  • Remote sensor checking and adjustment
  • Internet access for node management
  • High data transmission speed up to 100Mbit/s
  • Time synchronization server
  • Virtual PCs for on-site data evaluation
  • Automatic data management
  • Underwater pluggable connectors
  • Depth rating to 300 m

PRODUCT SHEET SUBSEA DATA AND POWER MANAGEMENT Dependable operation of complex underwater sensor and environmental monitoring networks The -4H-Underwater Node routes shore or battery power to the sensors, instruments and equipment in even the largest, most complex underwater monitoring networks, while simultaneously providing secure global access to the system and individually connected elements (dependent on individual capabilities). As a complete system for long-term underwater operation for a variety of subsea monitoring applications that depend on multi-sensor, multi-parameter data, the -4H-Underwater Node is designed to facilitate fast, resilient automated and remote operation. OPERATING PRINCIPLE -4H-Underwater Nodes are seabed residents that act as the interface for networked underwater observatories (RS232/ RS422/ 100BaseT/1000BaseT) ensuring reliable, easy access for operators to collect sensor data and configure parameters according to current requirements. The system also deploys a Smart Safety Concept to automatically secure and protect the subsea network should a failure occur. CUSTOM PROJECTS We support customers to configure Underwater Nodes to their exact requirements including Customer-specific design of measurement setups. Further options, add-on and variables include: ● Back-up battery or primary batteries for non-cable power to smaller sensor networks ConnectorBox for connection of single sensors or complex sensor systems Lander – durable frames for optimised sensor mounting either standalone or integrated to a subsea network T echnology agnostic system with customerspecified sensors and

PRODUCT SHEET -4H-Underwater Node APPLICATIONS The -4H-Underwater node can be used for power delivery, operational control and data management for any subsea monitoring network and is set to be a key enabler for new offshore wind farm developments. Developed under the COSYNA (Coastal Observing System for Northern and Artic Seas) framework, -4H-Underwater Nodes can be installed with a cable connection to shore up to 30 km for year round operation. Through this, it provides the opportunity for continuous observation of processes in the oceans and coastal areas for commercial and scientific users....
