The Multi Purpose Electrical Hand Carried Reel can be used for different survey, calibration and measurement tasks. Because the reel is suitable for multiple measuring instruments and sensors, the system is flexible to use within maritime, offshore and industrial projects.

Examples of applications include:

• maritime survey measurements;
• offshore measurement work;
• industrial measurement projects;
• suction pipe calibration measurements;
• density measurements;
• pressure measurements;
• temperature measurements;
• Doppler measurements;
• CTD measurements;
• turbidity and sediment concentration measurements;
• dissolved oxygen and pH measurements;
• customer-specific measurements.

Thanks to its multifunctional design, the reel can be configured to match the measurement requirements of the project. This makes the system suitable for standard measurement tasks as well as custom solutions requiring specific sensors, formulas or measurement programs.

An important benefit of the Multi Purpose Electrical Hand Carried Reel is that the reel is not limited to one fixed measuring instrument. Different sensors or instruments can be connected via the umbilical cable.

Via the local touch display, the user selects which instrument is connected. The relevant measurement values can then be read directly on the display or via the web interface.

This makes the reel suitable for projects where measurement setups may change. For example, during survey work where a CTD sensor is used at one moment and a sensor for density, pressure, temperature, turbidity or sediment concentration is used at another.

Customer-specific instruments can also be integrated. MSA-Service can develop custom software, calculations and step-by-step measurement programs for this purpose.

Measurement data can be viewed directly on the touch display of the reel. This is practical for operators and survey teams who want to check on site whether the correct measurement data is available.

Remote access is also possible via the web interface. The reel is equipped with local WiFi, VPN connectivity, a USB connection and a network connection. This means measurement data can not only be read locally, but also viewed, stored and downloaded remotely.

This combination of local operation and remote access makes the reel suitable for use on board, at offshore locations, in the field and within industrial measurement environments.

The Multi Purpose Electrical Hand Carried Reel can automatically register measurement data. Based on the project settings, the system can generate CSV reports.

Reports can be created based on:

• a set time interval;
• depth;
• a manual request.

The automatically generated reports can be downloaded via the local display or via the web interface. This makes measurement data easily available for analysis, quality control, project administration and reporting to the client.

The data that is registered depends on the connected instrument or selected sensor configuration. Examples of measurement values include:

• depth;
• density;
• pressure;
• temperature;
• turbidity;
• sediment concentration;
• conductivity;
• pH;
• dissolved oxygen;
• customer-specific measurement values.

The reel has been developed for mobile use in demanding environments. The compact design, wheels and lifting handle make the system easy to transport and quick to deploy on location.

The Multi Purpose Electrical Hand Carried Reel is supplied with two batteries and one charger. This allows the reel to be used at locations where fixed power is not always available.

The operating time depends on the battery capacity, the connected instruments, the cable length, the measurement frequency and the power consumption of the connected instrument. The exact battery life can be determined on a project-specific basis.

No measurement project is the same. That is why the Multi Purpose Electrical Hand Carried Reel can be adapted to the specific requirements of the customer.

MSA-Service can support with:

• integration of existing measuring instruments;
• connection of new sensors;
• development of customer-specific software;
• implementation of custom formulas;
• setup of step-by-step measurement programs;
• project-specific data logging;
• custom CSV reports;
• configuration of the web interface.

This makes the reel suitable not only as a standard measurement solution, but also as a flexible platform for custom survey, calibration and measurement projects.
