Cable Chimp II Remotely-Operated Cableway Vehicle Reliability For Consistent Measurements The Oceanscience Cable Chimp II is a great choice when choosing a remotely-operated cableway vehicle. High data-quality stream gauging requires slow, even and repeatable towing, making the Cable Chimp II the best and most reliable way to consistently collect high data-quality from small tethered boats. All Transects Are Not Created Equal The Cable Chimp II remotely moves slowly across the line to pull your tethered boat across the waterway at the perfect transect speed. The Cable Chimp II is intended for use with Oceanscience Riverboats having instrument wells up to 5 inches in diameter or smaller “board” style boats, and is suggested for slow to intermediate flows of not more than 3 m/s. The Cable Chimp II can be used for larger Oceanscience Riverboats in flows lower than 1 m/s. The Cable Chimp II is not intended for use in areas with debris or standing waves. Standard Configuration The Cable Chimp II is operated by a handheld transmitter and is capable of running continuously for 2-3 hours depending on speed. The drive wheel is designed for use with 1/4” (6mm) high-grip line, continuous filament low stretch three-strand polyester or Kevlar line. An optional “safety line” can be used on the clamp between the Cable Chimp II and boat for peace of mind Optional Equipment Add a water resistant Pelican transport case, shown to the left, for an easy and compact way to transport the Cable Chimp II from site to site. Rechargable batteries with charger are also available for your convenience. www.oceanscience.com
