Teledyne TSS

Product catalog summary

Overview
Teledyne TSS is a leader in marine instrumentation, offering a range of motion sensors designed for accurate measurement of roll, pitch, and heave in marine environments. These sensors are crucial for various applications, including hydrographic surveys, dynamic positioning, and hull stress monitoring.

Product Specifications
The motion sensors have a dynamic roll and pitch range of +/- 5° to +/- 30° with varying RMS accuracy. They offer a maximum calibrated range of heave ±10m and roll and pitch ±30°. Data resolution for heave is 1cm and for roll and pitch is 0.01°. Digital data output rates can reach up to 100Hz, with analogue output rates up to 500Hz using an optional DMS repeater. The sensors support RS232 or RS422 interfaces, with some models also supporting Ethernet.

Applications
These sensors are used in hydrographic surveys (both multibeam and singlebeam), dynamic positioning, hull stress monitoring, crane de-rating, rig monitoring, and ROV operations. They are essential for providing compensation data to ship systems, ensuring accurate and reliable operation.

Technology and Service
Teledyne TSS sensors are designed to meet IHO standards, offering high accuracy and flexibility. The accompanying software is Windows™ based, providing an intuitive user experience. Teledyne offers 24/7 technical support and warranties of 24 months for DMS sensors and 12 months for MiniSense products, with options for extended warranties.

Where is a motion sensor used? Marine motion sensors are used to accurately measure a vessel’s roll, pitch and heave movement that is generated by the sea and it’s conditions. TSS motion sensors are designed to be used to provide compensation data to ship systems on board surface and subsea vessels and platforms. This in turn enables other systems to provide accurate and reliable data essential to the vessel’s efficient operation. When combined with other inputs such as position from GPS systems, a motion sensor becomes an essential part of the vessel’s operational equipment. Heave-only sensors...
