Cygnus Instruments offers two dedicated ROV mountable thickness gauges in this design. Available in 2000 m and 4000 m depth rated, these multiple echo ultrasonic thickness gauges are truly versatile and designed to measure metal thickness through coatings in the harshest operating conditions. Dedicated software displays the time, date and thickness readings on the surface which can all can be stored or logged. Alternatively, an optional Topside Repeater (TSR) is available which has the facility to display the thickness measurements remotely and overlay them on to a video signal. This allows the measurements to be superimposed on the ROV camera’s monitor screen.

- Available in two models: M5-ROV-2K 2000m (6,526 ft) depth rated and M5-ROV-4K 4000m (13,123ft) depth rated.
- The Cygnus Topside Repeater (TSR) is available as an option and has the facility to display the thickness measurements remotely and overlay them on to a video signal. This allows the measurements to be superimposed on the ROV camera’s monitor screen.
- Selectable Deep Coat mode for measuring through coatings up to 20mm thick.
- Supplied with CygLink software to display and log thickness measurements from the ROV on a computer at the surface which can be saved to a file and printed out.
- CygLink has two data logging facilities: Quick Log for simple recording of thickness measurements and Structured mode with four templates available - Single Point, Multi Point, Grid Point and Key Point.
- The ROV Gauge sends thickness measurement data to the surface via an RS-422 serial link, Cygnus can supply the RS-422 umbilical cable up to 1200m (4000ft) in length. For longer distances the ROV Gauge can output data in RS-232 mode.
- Fitted with a safety Pressure Relief Valve and Securing Eye.
- Easy calibration at the surface via CygLink software or Topside Repeater (TSR) unit.
- Removable end plate for full servicability with access to the Option Switches, Fuse and Status LED.
- Wet mateable 'MC' style underwater connectors.
