FiGS 2.0 usage
FiGS 2.0 is a sensor for measurement of cathodic protection activity and corrosion for assets in seawater,
such as pipelines, subsea structures and fixed installations.
The sensor is mounted on an underwater vehicle, such as a ROV, AUV or ROTV. The sensor is connected
through the vehicle control systems and sensor data is either transmitted topside to a control computer with
logging software or stored locally on the vehicle.
What does FiGS 2.0 measure
FiGS 2.0 measures the electric field gradient in a conductive medium such as seawater. The sensor reports
the electric field gradient vector as two components, FGx and FGy, with the unit µV/cm.
Overview of the sensor
The sensor system consists of:
1. FiGS 2.0 sensor with mounting bracket
2. FiGS 2.0 Power bottle
3. Connecting cable
4. Open-ended connector with pigtail
5. 1 pcs USB memory stick with PC control software and user manual
