SeaRecovery RotoDrum
The SeaRecovery RotoDrum enables recovery of the mooring anchor once the C-ROM has been released and surfaced. The injection molded, medium density polyethylene (MDPE) RotoDrum is installed over the C-ROM (and C-ROM Plus) following hardware and instrumentation assembly. Available in lengths up to 500m, the 0.95cm (3/8 inch), high strength, Oletec-12 rope can be pre-loaded for rapid deployment.
Stable Anchor Platform
The C-ROM Stable Anchor Platform is a steel platform with antifouling paint designed to attach the ROMOR 90.0kg (200 lb) anchor to the base of a C-ROM.
Buoyancy Enhancement Set
Buoyancy enhancements modules are avaiable for the use with the C-ROM and C-ROM Plus. Each module adds approximately 3.2kg (7.0 lb) of buoyancy (depending on depth rating), in seawater. Note: Custom modules can be made available upon request.
ROMOR's Complete C-ROM Solution
C-ROM has standard fitting kits for most popular acoustic release systems including Benthos, Applied Acoustics, Sonardyne etc. In addition the system also provides standard mounts for XEOS RF, Satellite and flasher recovery beacons, Nortek Aquadopp and AWAC, RDI ADCP, Satlantic SUNA and Stor-X, WETLabs Instrument sets, ASL Acoustic profilers. Custom instrument mounts and additional battery packs are easily accommodated.
A unique feature of the C-ROM system is that it inverts at the surface so that the release transducers remain in the water and thus able to be ranged upon. The tracking beacons are mounted to the underside of the C-ROM, so that they are above the water when the float is on the surface.
