Teledyne Marine HydroPACT 660E: Compact Pipe & Cable Tracke

Industry-Standard Detection for Observation-Class ROVs

Product Overview

The HydroPACT 660E is the most compact pulse induction pipe tracker on the market, engineered by Teledyne TSS to bring professional-grade detection to smaller underwater platforms. Built upon the legacy of the industry-standard HydroPACT 440, the "660E" delivers the same market-leading reliability in a package that is 60% smaller and 70% lighter.

Designed specifically for observation-class ROVs and small inspection vehicles, the 660E consolidates the subsea electronics into a single, streamlined pod. This reduces the footprint and payload requirements significantly, allowing operators to conduct pipeline integrity surveys, cable tracking, and UXO (Unexploded Ordnance) detection using smaller, more cost-effective vessels.

Why Choose the HydroPACT 660E?

• Optimized for Small ROVs: Its reduced weight and improved drag coefficient make it the only high-performance pipe tracker suitable for light inspection vehicles.
• Massive Range in a Small Frame: Despite its size, it maintains an operating range of greater than 85% of the significantly larger HydroPACT 440 system.
• No Calibration Required: Unlike magnetometer-based systems, the 660E requires no time-consuming on-site calibration or "set-up" before a survey begins.
• Heading Independent: Provides accurate depth-of-burial and tracking information regardless of the ROV’s heading, simplifying pilot operations in high-current environments.
• Pulse Induction Technology: Detects all conductive metals (ferrous and non-ferrous), making it superior to magnetometers for finding aluminum cables or copper-core umbilicals.
