The Kongsberg Maritime Fluorescein Dye Detection Package is based on the highly successful OE14-366 ROV Zoom Inspection Camera and the OE11-135 Underwater Floodlight.
Modification of the colour temperature output of the lamp allows dye to fluoresce when illuminated. Modification of the light wavelength response of the camera allows the camera to only detect the wavelength of light corresponding to the dye fluorescence. This system allows for easy detection of leaks during integrity testing.
The system is supplied with a baseplate to ensure that convergence of the lamp beam and camera field of view occurs at around 2 metres. This innovative solution to leak detection offers significant improvements in detection speed and operational costs.
A variation of the system for diver use is also available.
The Standard OE2800 Dye Detection System consists of:
The Kongsberg Maritime Ltd OE14-366 (PAL) and OE14-367 (NTSC) Colour Zoom Cameras use the latest Hyper-HAD solid state sensor to provide excellent light sensitivity and image definition. These cameras have been designed to offer maximum performance and flexibility for ROV inspection tasks.
The OE14-366 has now been modified to create a variant for Dye detection, the OE14-366F. The OE14-366F enjoys all of the features of the OE14-366 but has been additionally adapted to detect the wavelength of light emitted by Dye when excited.

Kongsberg Maritime Ltd's range of underwater lamps have been designed to address the specific requirements of high quality underwater video inspection and observation tasks.
The OE11-135 is a compact high power lamp specifically designed for diver and ROV deployment applications.
The OE11-135 has now been modified to create a variant for Fluorescein Dye detection, the OE11-135F. The OE11-135F enjoys most of the features of the OE11-135 but has been adapted by the incorporation of a filter system which modifies the lamp colour temperature. This modified output allows Fluorescein Dye to fluoresce when illuminated.
