Chasing Waterlinked DVL Kit for M2 Pro – Ultra-small 4-beam Doppler Velocity Log for Accurate Underwater Positioning

The CHASING Waterlinked DVL Kit is a Doppler velocity log accessory suite developed specifically for the CHASING M2 PRO. Waterlinked DVL is the world's smallest DVL by far. It combines a compact form with capabilities designed to help ROVs maintain stable navigation in challenging underwater environments.

Key features

• High-performance Doppler velocity log technology.
• Ultra-small 4-beam setup for precise velocity measurements.
• Integrated AHRS / IMU for additional attitude and heading reference data.
• Open interface protocol for integration flexibility.
• Low cost relative to its feature set.

How the DVL helps ROV missions

ROVs equipped with the CHASING Waterlinked DVL kit can carry out missions without being disturbed by complicated underwater conditions. The DVL assists in key navigation tasks so the ROV can perform more reliably in the field.

• Hovering: The DVL provides velocity data that helps maintain a stable hover.
• Fixed-point location: It supports keeping a precise position over a target or area of interest.
• Position correction: The DVL supplies corrections that improve overall navigation accuracy during operations.

Software and firmware requirements

Make sure you have the latest versions of both the Go app and your drone firmware. If you use older versions, the DVL kit will not work properly. Follow these steps to prepare your system:

Software Update:

• Update the GO1 APP to the latest version available in the app store.

Firmware Update:

• Connect the drone to the latest GO1 APP.
• The GO1 App will automatically identify whether the firmware (ROV and Docking Station) is the latest version. If not, the app will prompt you with instructions on how to upgrade the firmware.

After completing the above steps, the GO1 APP can automatically recognize the DVL.

Important compatibility note

The CHASING Waterlinked DVL kit cannot work simultaneously together with CHASING Distance Lock Sonar - 117424. Ensure you do not attempt to run both devices at the same time on the same platform.
