Figure 3-6: Assembly of the coil frame
Note that the centre coil is mounted above the other two coils, making it further
away from the target. The System will not function correctly if it is below the other
two coils. The port and starboard coils must be mounted such that there is a gap
of 5-10 mm between them as defined by the mounting holes in the coil mounting
frame.
It is important for accurate readings and continued functionality that the Coils are
not bent and that the mounting frame is rigid.
Attach the coil frame to the ROV
To construct the coil frame and assemble the coils to the ROV you will need the following facilities,
components and items:
❐
All the components and fixings of the coil frame supplied by Teledyne TSS.
❐
Stainless steel bolts or U-bolts to fix the coil frame to the ROV.
❐
A drill together with 16.5mm and 5mm drill bits.
