Chasing WaterLinked DVL kit for M2 Pro Max

CHASING Waterlinked DVL Kit for M2 Pro Max – World's Smallest DVL with Ultra-Small 4-Beam High-Performance Setup

The CHASING Waterlinked DVL Kit is a Doppler velocity log accessory suite developed specifically for the CHASING M2 PRO MAX. Waterlinked DVL is described as the world's smallest DVL and offers a compact, high-performance solution for underwater positioning.

What this DVL kit provides

• High-performance Doppler velocity logging using an ultra-small 4-beam setup.
• Integrated AHRS/IMU for orientation and motion sensing.
• Open interface protocol for integration with compatible systems.
• Designed as a lower-cost DVL option compared to larger systems.
• Mounting bracket for M2 Pro Max is included with the kit.

Operational benefits and use cases

When mounted on ROVs such as the M2 PRO MAX, the Waterlinked DVL Kit helps the vehicle operate reliably even in complicated underwater environments. With DVL assistance, ROVs can:

• Perform stable hovering in the water column.
• Maintain fixed-point location for inspection or tasks.
• Apply position correction to ensure accurate navigation during missions.

These capabilities help meet the needs of advanced application scenarios and assist exploration of unknown waters.

Software and firmware updates — required steps

To ensure correct operation, update both the GO1 app and the ROV firmware before using the DVL kit. Using older software or firmware may cause the DVL kit to not work properly.

1. Software update:
   • Update the GO1 APP to the latest version in the app store.
2. Firmware update:
   • Connect the drone (ROV) to the latest GO1 APP.
   • GO1 App will automatically check whether the firmware for the ROV and Docking Station is up to date.
   • If the app detects older firmware, it will prompt you with instructions on how to upgrade the firmware.

After completing these update steps, the GO1 APP can automatically recognize the DVL kit.

Compatibility and limitations

• Developed for CHASING M2 PRO MAX ROV systems.
• The DVL kit cannot work simultaneously with the CHASING Distance Lock Sonar (product number 117424).

FAQ

Question: Will this DVL kit work with my CHASING M2 PRO MAX?
Answer: Yes. The CHASING Waterlinked DVL Kit is developed for and compatible with the CHASING M2 PRO MAX. A mounting bracket for the M2 Pro Max is included with the kit.

Question: Do I need to update any software or firmware before using the DVL kit?
Answer: Yes. You must update the GO1 APP to the latest version from the app store and connect the ROV to the GO1 APP to check and apply any firmware updates for the ROV and Docking Station. The GO1 App will detect whether updates are required and guide you through the upgrade. After updating, the GO1 APP can automatically recognize the DVL kit.

Question: Can I use the Waterlinked DVL kit together with other sonar accessories?
Answer: No. The DVL kit cannot operate simultaneously with the CHASING Distance Lock Sonar (product number 117424). Avoid attempting to use both devices at the same time to prevent incompatibility issues.

Question: What navigation improvements does the DVL provide for ROV missions?
Answer: The DVL provides Doppler-based velocity data and integrated AHRS/IMU information. This enables tasks such as hovering, fixed-point holding, and position correction, which improve navigation accuracy in complex underwater environments and support advanced exploration tasks.
