Product Description

Description

The CHASING E-Reel Electronic Tether Reel is an efficient cable management solution designed to simplify tether deployment and retrieval during underwater exploration, inspection, and observation. Featuring an automatic winding mechanism, adjustable retrieval speeds, and a high-capacity rechargeable battery, the E-Reel helps reduce the time and effort required to recover an underwater drone's tether after each mission.

With support for up to 200 meters of tether cable, the E-Reel is suitable for underwater operations that require extended cable deployment. Its three adjustable winding speeds allow users to select the appropriate retrieval rate, with the fastest specified retrieval time for 200 meters reaching approximately 220 seconds. The manual cable handling function also provides flexibility when operators prefer to unwind or retract the tether manually.

Powered by a 4800 mAh rechargeable battery, the E-Reel supports up to 30 retrieval operations per full charge under specified conditions. Its IP65-rated enclosure provides protection against dust ingress and water jets, making it suitable for use in splash-prone environments such as boat decks and shorelines. The replaceable tether design offers additional flexibility, with compatible cable options available in 50-meter, 100-meter, and 200-meter lengths.

Designed for convenient operation and repeated use, the CHASING E-Reel is a practical accessory for underwater drone users who want to improve cable handling, streamline equipment recovery, and reduce manual workload during underwater missions.

Technical Details

Automatic Tether Retrieval System:

The E-Reel features an electronic winding mechanism that automatically retrieves tether cable after an underwater operation. This reduces the physical effort associated with manual winding and helps make equipment recovery faster and more convenient for frequent underwater deployments.

200-Meter Cable Storage Capacity:

Designed to accommodate up to 200 meters of compatible tether cable, the E-Reel supports underwater activities that require extended cable reach. Different cable lengths, including 50 m, 100 m, and 200 m, provide flexibility for different operating requirements, subject to cable compatibility.

Three Adjustable Winding Speeds:

The E-Reel offers three selectable winding speeds, allowing operators to adjust retrieval according to their working conditions. For a 200-meter tether, the specified retrieval time ranges from approximately 220 seconds at the fastest setting to around 9 minutes at the slowest setting.

4800 mAh Rechargeable Battery:

The integrated 4800 mAh battery powers the electronic winding mechanism and supports up to 30 retrieval operations per full charge under specified conditions. This battery capacity makes the E-Reel suitable for repeated use during inspection projects, underwater exploration, and other field activities.

IP65 Dust and Water-Jet Protection:

The E-Reel carries an IP65 protection rating, indicating protection against dust ingress and water jets under specified test conditions. This makes it suitable for splash-prone environments such as boat decks and shore-based operations. IP65 does not mean the device is waterproof for underwater immersion, so the unit should be kept out of the water.

Replaceable Tether Cable:

The E-Reel supports replaceable compatible tether cables, with available lengths of 50 meters, 100 meters, and 200 meters. This allows users to select a suitable cable length for their operational needs and replace the cable when required. Compatibility should be verified for the specific underwater drone model and tether configuration.

Manual Cable Handling:

In addition to automatic retrieval, the E-Reel supports manual cable winding and unwinding. This provides additional flexibility for deployment, cable adjustment, and situations where manual handling is preferred.

Wide Operating Temperature Range:

The specified operating temperature range is -10°C to 45°C, supporting use in a variety of environmental conditions. For best performance, operate and store the device according to the manufacturer's temperature and maintenance guidelines.

Convenient Charging:

The E-Reel supports charging with the specified 25.2 V charger, available in 1.5 A or 2.9 A configurations according to the supplied charging setup. The stated charging time is approximately 4 hours, although actual time may vary with charger output, battery condition, and charging environment.
