SCC Smart Sensor Cable Payout Measurement System
The Hydrographic Survey Products SCC Ver. 4 is an automated, cable payout indicator system, specifically designed for the offshore survey and Oceanographic industries. It is ideally suited to measure the cable layback of Side Scan Sonar, Magnetometer, and Sub-Bottom Profiler tow fish as well as a wide range of Oceanographic sensors and corer systems. All counting and processor functions are integrated into the sensor itself, so costs have been reduced, whilst retaining all the required capability of higher priced systems. By offering the sensor alone, a very cost-effective upgrade path is available for users with existing, non-instrumented sheave wheels. The sensor may be fitted to almost any sheave wheel or supplied fitted to a wheel of the customer’s specifications.
A number of magnets, attached to the wheel, are used to measure movement and direction of the wheel and hence movement of the cable as it is deployed or retrieved. The sensor is environmentally sealed with waterproof connections, making it ideal for harsh oceanographic environments. The Display / Interface Unit option provides a very simple to operate display of the cable deployed, cable line speed and an RS232 output as well as providing power to the sensor.
The urethane jacketed deck cable is terminated with IP 67 connectors and can be supplied in any length.
The Version 4 sensor can be installed on most Sheave Blocks from 6 to 36-inch diameter.

SCC Winch Display
The SCC Winch Display is a simple, compact water resistant display that can be added to any SCC Cable Payout system. The winch display is designed to be installed close to or onto an oceanographic type winch.
The SCC Winch Display can be installed between the SCC sensor (mounted on a sheave wheel) and the SCC Display / Interface unit (located inside the instrument room) or as a stand-alone display.
When used in conjunction with the standard SCC Display / Interface a second deck cable is required or if cable length permits, the existing deck cable can be cut and re-terminated.
When used alone, a source of 12V dc power is required.
The SCC Winch Display uses a 3.2” organic light emitting display OLED which provides high brightness and wide viewing angle whilst requiring modest power.
SCC Sensor USB Interface with UPS
Allows direct connection between SCC Sensor and USB equipped computer. Integrated uninterruptible power allows counting to be maintained when computer is disconnected, rebooted or moved. UPS is charged vis the USB when available. Duration unconnected is at least 2 hours.
Deck Cable
The deck cable connects power and data from the display or computer to the sensor.
The outer jacket is constructed of polyurethane offering superior abrasion and water resistance.
The deck cable can be supplied in any length and terminated with a female IP67 connector at the sensor (wet) end and 4 pin male XLR connector at the inbound end.
