The GAVIN NT Scooter has been specically designed to quickly transport divers and equipment safely to and from a dive location to maximize the dive times. The manufacturing of the GAVIN NT is of the highest standard with reliability being a consideration at every stage of the development and testing process. This commitment to quality has lead to the perfection of the GAVIN NT.
Key attributes:
Controls:
Simply point and press. The GAVIN NT controls are all integrated into the handle. From one position the GAVIN NT can be switched on or off, control your speed and for safety contains the "dead-man" switch.
The Power:
The GAVIN NT power comes from the purposely designed propeller to fit the high performance servo motor with a built in digital control unit that can be adjusted to the individual needs of the diver, as required. This type of servo motor will out-live and out-perform the standard bushed motors that are found in previous versions of GAVIN Scooters.
The Construction:
The GAVIN NT pressure body uses only the best quality materials available in its construction to minimize corrosion, leading edge erosion, general wear and tear to ensure a trouble free long life in salt water environments.
Safety First:
In the unlikely event of the GAVIN NT propeller being stopped while in use, the brushless motor is digitally controlled to turn off, even under extreme torque for your safety. This prevents the GAVIN NT motor from becoming damaged and unusable during your dive. Simply clear the propeller, restart the GAVIN NT and your back on track. If you use all the battery power during your dive, the digital control unit will automatically turn off the GAVIN NT for you. Ensuring no unwanted surprises of turning on again further along on your dive. After your dive, simply rinse down the GAVIN NT with fresh water, dry and recharge. When recharging the GAVIN NT, simply plug it in to the charger. The recharge level is controlled and will automatically stop when the charge is complete, and with the integrated BMC (Battery Management Controller) there is no worry of damage or overheating during the recharge process. It is simply ready for your next dive.
The Water Proving:
The GAVIN NT clever design has incorporated commonly found standard seals to help with trouble free maintenance where ever your dive is worldwide (Refer to the Spare Parts List). The propulsion shaft is sealed by a high pressure ceramic mechanical seal which allows a high rpm under high pressure in conjunction with the use of radial seal to allow for differential pressure changes without impacting the performance from shallow to deep dives. If the unbelievable should happen and you do spring a leak in the pressure body, don't worry, the optional IP 65 motor is designed as a sealed “off the shelf” unit. Drain, dry and reseal, and the GAVIN NT is ready to use with a minimum amount of fuss.
