Mooring Guide for benthic SubCam deployment

📄 Download the PDF version (4-page printable layout).

This guide describes the standard mooring configurations for PEBL SubCam benthic deployments. Moorings are documented for three exposure ratings (Low, Med and High) to suit a range of tidal and wave-energy environments.

What's in this guide

• Camera Configuration covers how the SubCam mounts on the frame, and how field of view, slant range and reach are configured.
• Frame Configurations covers the three exposure-rated Microlander frame builds (Low / Med / High) with weights, tube diameters, prices and full mooring examples:
  • Low Exposure, 5 m depth, <2 m wave / <1 m/s
  • Med Exposure, 10 m depth, <5 m wave / <2 m/s
  • High Exposure, 20 m depth, <10 m wave / <4 m/s

Exposure ratings at a glance

Exposure	Max. wave height	Max. current speed	Example depth
Low	< 2 m	< 1 m/s	5 m
Med	< 5 m	< 2 m/s	10 m
High	< 10 m	< 4 m/s	20 m
