Rating and load qualifications
- 100–150 kg is an unresolved load record, not confirmed equipment-only payload. Configuration mapping and battery basis must be clarified before selection.
- IP65 drizzle and IP67 buoy retain their source scope. Wind resistance level 4 is not silently converted to Beaufort or Sea State.
- 8 h endurance, 1.5 m/s working speed and 5 m/s maximum speed are separate brochure records; full test conditions remain unconfirmed.

On small screens, values wrap within the table. Manufacturer metric values remain authoritative.
| Parameter | Brochure value and definition |
|---|---|
| Hull dimensions | 2500 × 1400 × 1250 mm (L × W × H); approximately 8.20 × 4.59 × 4.10 ft. |
| Vessel / hull material | Catamaran; nano carbon-fiber composite material. |
| Vehicle weight, including battery | 85 ± 1 kg (approximately 187 ± 2 lb). Configuration notesVehicle weight is separate from the source load-capacity field. |
| Standard and Ultimate load capacity | 100–150 kg (approximately 220–331 lb); load definition unresolved. Configuration notesThe source does not map the two values to configurations or say whether batteries are included. Neither value is a confirmed net equipment payload. |
| Draft | 35 cm / 0.35 m (approximately 13.8 in). Configuration notesCheck clearance and loading for the actual instrument configuration. |
| Cruising capacity | 8 h, manufacturer brochure reference. Configuration notesBattery capacity, speed, instrument load and test conditions are not fully specified. Not an 8 h guarantee at maximum speed. |
| Intelligent navigation | Equipped. Configuration notesNavigation hardware, software, positioning accuracy and mission functions to confirm. |
| Working modes | Fully automatic / Manual. |
| High-definition camera | Equipped. Configuration notesCamera model, recording and streaming package to confirm. |
| Waterproof reference | IP65 drizzle; IP67 buoy, as written in the source. Configuration notesDifferent component/condition references, not a whole-vessel IP67 claim or verified product certificate. |
| Drive mode | DC brushless electric propulsion; waterproof cover and anti-tangling design. Configuration notesManufacturer design description, not a guarantee against all weeds or debris. |
| Communication mode | 4G / digital transmission. Configuration notesConfirm radio hardware, network coverage and operating link conditions. |
| Data transmission | 4 km (approximately 2.5 mi), brochure reference. Configuration notesActual usable link depends on the quoted equipment and site conditions. |
| Image transmission | 3 km (approximately 1.9 mi), brochure reference. Configuration notesSeparate from the 4 km data record; no guaranteed universal coverage. |
| Wind / wave reference | Wind resistance level 4; 1 m waves (approximately 3.3 ft). Configuration notesThe source does not establish equivalence with Beaufort or Sea State. Confirm the rating definition and task limits. |
| Working speed | 1.5 m/s (approximately 2.9 kn / 3.4 mph). Configuration notesPublished reference, not a current-resistance rating. |
| Maximum speed | 5 m/s (approximately 9.7 kn / 11.2 mph). Configuration notesDo not combine maximum speed with the 8 h endurance record as a simultaneous promise. |
| Battery type | High polymerization lithium battery, source wording. Configuration notesCapacity, charger, transport documentation and spare-battery scope to confirm. |
Task and integration scope
Applications and configuration
The brochure describes winch-supported temperature-chain and layered-sampling equipment. Confirm instrument identity, cable length, lifting capacity, mounting and delivery scope; this drawing proves neither an included winch nor tested compatibility.
Application scope
Water-quality monitoring
Optional multiparameter and full-spectrum COD instruments can support the manufacturer's described monitoring configurations. The '9+X' parameters depend on the selected instruments, not the bare vessel.
Target-point water sampling
The manufacturer describes its automatic water-sampling system and mixed sampling from several target points into one bottle. Confirm bottles, sample volumes, depth, contamination controls and ground-station/software scope.
Underwater mapping and flow measurement
Single/multibeam sonar, RTK, side-scan sonar and ADCP are listed as instrument options. Define the survey deliverable and validate the exact installation and data interfaces.
Depth-dependent instrumentation
Winch-supported temperature chains and layered sampling are described by the manufacturer. Confirm clearance, load and deployment requirements; these are not a verified supplier project.
Selection limits
Do not choose by the unresolved 100–150 kg load field alone. Confirm its definition and the instrument package first; consider another platform if required clearance, load, communications or operating conditions cannot be met.
Documented vehicle equipment
Vehicle functions
The specification table lists intelligent navigation, automatic/manual modes and an HD camera as equipped; actual hardware and software versions remain to confirm.
Hull and propulsion
Modular catamaran, large instrument cabin and DC brushless propulsion with an anti-tangling design are manufacturer descriptions. The quoted battery and delivery list must be agreed.
Optional equipment and integration
Water analysis instruments
Multiparameter online monitor, full-spectrum COD detector, oil-content analyzer, and total phosphorus/total nitrogen flow-injection analyzer are listed options; parameter coverage depends on the selected package.
Sampling and depth equipment
Fully automated 10-water-harvesting system, stratified sampling system, temperature-chain/depth equipment and winch-supported deployment are described options, not universal inclusions.
Survey and flow instruments
RTK, single-beam/multibeam sonar, side-scan sonar and large-scale ADCP are optional mission equipment. Exact makes, interfaces, calibration and outputs need confirmation.
Lidar and situational equipment
Mapping-grade and obstacle-avoidance laser radar, surveillance dome, megaphone and warning light are listed. No universal obstacle-avoidance or navigation outcome is promised.
Control and data services
H30 ground station and AquaHelpers Cloud System are listed options. Confirm access, software, data handling, licenses, service availability and communication equipment.
Stern towing hook
The brochure describes material transport and emergency-related use of a stern hook. No verified rescue performance, towing limit or safety certification has been supplied.
Interfaces to confirm
Send instrument model, dimensions, mass, center of gravity, mount, power demand and data protocols. Compatibility evidence and interface drawings are not supplied. The modular cabin, option list and renders do not establish universal third-party compatibility.
A brochure equipment reference is not a final delivery list. Specify each instrument, controller and accessory in the quotation.
