CD42-STS Subsea Diver/ROV Pig Location and Tracking System

INTRODUCTION

The CD42-STS is a pipeline pig locating and tracking receiver that detects
pulsing signals emitted by electromagnetic transmitters in a subsea
pipeline.
The transmitter signal strength is displayed on an LED array which can
be easily seen by a diver or ROV operator who is tracking moving pigs
and/or locating a stationary or stuck pig.

DEPLOYMENT

The CD42-STS may be deployed below the ocean to depths of 8,0000 ft
[2,439 m] and is designed to be either carried by a diver or ROV. It is
rated for a maximum pressure of 3,650 psi [245 bar].

COMPONENTS

The CD42-STS is constructed of stainless steel. A control button adjusts
antenna gain, which is displayed on an array of 16 light-emitting
diodes (LED). The LEDS also indicate
transmitter proximity when tracking
or locating a pig. Diver handles may be
removed and replaced with optional
"fishtail" ROV handles (see pg. 24).
