3000 Watt Surface Power Supply. Converts supply AC power to
DC at ~360 VDC for transfer to the LBV via the tether used on all 6
thruster LBV‟s
Un-Manned Launch and Recovery System. A remotely
controllable launch and recovery system consisting of a tether reel
system, surface power supply, a power sheave, and control circuits
for remote launch and recovery of the LBV system.
Tether (Note): Historically the term umbilical was used, hence the
UMB in the reference to the part numbers. Going forward umbilical
is now referred to as “tether”. Example: In deep water applications
where the LBV is flown from another larger ROV or TMS (Tether
Management System), an umbilical is the line that leads from the
topside handling system to the larger ROV or TMS.
Video Overlay Board. Creates the characters for displaying the
video overlay information from the LBV onto the monitor.
Vehicle Power Supply. Converts the ~360 VDC tether supply
voltage to the 28 VDC required for LBV operation.
