SunStation™ Mini
SunStation™ Mini
The Polatrak® SunStation™ Mini is a retrofittable version of the SunStation™ light-powered LED readout system that uses solar panels instead of batteries. It can operate in depths of up to 3,000 meters to display numerical data when activated by a powerful light source, which is normally the ROV's headlights. The SunStation™ allows ROVs to collect CP data without using a stab probe.
Unlike the larger SunStation™, this smaller version doesn't require a RetroClamp™ to provide an electrical connection to the asset. The readout unit is installed first, with magnets on its base providing a strong attachment to the steel structure. Attached to the readout is a flying lead that also attaches magnetically to the structure, which is placed via ROV on the location to be monitored and makes the electrical connection that provides the CP readings.
Measuring 18.6" x 11" x 6" with a weight of just 33 lbs, the SunStation™ Mini can be quickly and easily placed on or near structures, pipelines and underwater equipment to be monitored.
The magnet on the end of the flying lead (the cupholder-looking apparatus on the side of the SunStation™) secures the lead to the structure and provides the electrical connection for the CP readings.
Four magnets on the base of the SunStation™ Mini secure the readout to the structure.
