V10/2015
1. DESCRIPTION
Thrusters are DC motors which are put into the aluminium halls 12. The rotation transmision to
the screw propeller is realized with aid of magnetic coupling disks.
One disk is fastened at the motor's shaft in the body, and the other one – at the screw
propeller's shaft inside the cone-shaped head 13, which is filled up with water. The cone-shaped
head may be removed by operator for cleaning ( see manual).
The vehicle is connected with the operators console via thin cable, which transmits power
voltage, operation instructions, data and video signal from the vehicle.
The cable with diameter 6mm is stregthened by Kevlar threads (breaking effort is 90kg) and by
additional polyehylene shield. The cable length is max up to 250m. To compensate the weight of
vehicle and give neutral buoyancy to it, the float made of foam polysyren is used, and it is put
in front part of vehicle. Similar floats can be put on the cable to change the neutral buoyancy to
little positive buoyancy. Maximum operating depth of vehicle is 200m.
Using the control pads and joystick the operator can move GNOM forward-backward, turn to the
right – left, up – down; adjust the thruster speed and the lights brightness. All data is displayed
on the monitor in "TV-text" mode. By pressing one of the buttons on the joystick the operator
can pass to the menu of tuning up some vehicle's functions – calibrating of the depth sensor
and the compass as well as some other functions.
Control Panel "Sony PS" is connected to the control and power module installed in a
waterproof case in which also 15 "monitor is built. The power supply operates from 100 to
230 VAC or 12 VDC.
