TELEDYNE CDL SYSTEMS & SOLUTIONS
Teledyne CDL Systems & Solutions is a specialist in the development of custom solutions for unique marine applications. Customer requirements provide the initial concept, then fundamental planning and engineering create and determine the final system specification. Custom-built units reflect these requirements with special focus on the ultimate end-use at all times during the design and manufacturing process.
SYSTEMS
Our development expertise lies in creating
custom-made Firmware / Software, Off-the-
shelf & Custom Component Integration, PCB
Design, and Subsea Housing Design (AMSE
and ISO). Expert design engineers are able to
produce an array of software options, these are
designed and built to customer requirements.
Considering application and operational usage
at all times during development, these custom
interfaces can be built to show mutiple outputs
of reporting on one screen, or across multiple
screens, dependent on your space limitations.
DEVELOPMENTMultiple options for custom built GUI, PCBs and housings
Control and monitor system - 2 pressures, 2 power levels and a CDL MiniTilt
2 pressure and 1 temperature inputs, and 2 acoustic DATUMS
Multi-Monitoring System - 6 different pressures, tidal wave data, GPS positioning monitor
INsight system - visualisation tool set-up Accelerometer and Gyro data display
SWRP - monitoring 4 pressures and 2 temperatures, 3 power sources and a CDL MiniTilt, with acoustic DATUM communication package
Success and experience has meant that we can provide unique housings that are tailored and highly suitable for your specific
needs. These requirements should be depicted at the start of a project to ensure that we can fully accomplish the mission and
develop, produce and maintain a specialist systems solution for your end application or operation. Our experience with multiple
depth ratings and a number of IP protected surface housings means that we are able to count on valuable knowledge and
understanding of special materials and components to ensure we accomodate the necessary depth specifications. This is similar
with our knowledge of materials and assembly of custom-built frames; no requirement is too big or too small, we will accomodate
your individual and overall housing and frame requirements across one complete system.
Production is a key element of our systems and
solutions. Delivering quality at every step of design
and manufacture, the production and build process
is crucial as we aim to use the best materials and
components available, utilising our team’s expertise
in build, calibration and assembly to produce durable,
high-performance solutions. Our Houston-based
production facility includes gyro and motion sensor
calibration and an environmental chamber.

PRODUCTIONUnique solutions manufacture and integration
Teledyne CDL Systems & Solutions can
also provide production services in full
integration. Our engineers design systems
by utilizing proven technologies with off-
the-shelf products to provide a complete
solution. With a wealth of experience in
integrating other Teledyne Marine products
with new and existing CDL components,
PCBs and GUIs, we can provide a fully
integrated Teledyne system tailored to meet
your personal requirements. Enhancing
such products to satisfy your demands and producing fully capable systems is something that requires in-depth planning and
integration skills that our teams fully understand. Interpreting your needs is the first step in producing a custom-made integrated
system, then bringing together the required Teledyne products and mapping out ways to integrate these together, followed by
assembling them in a housing or frame completes the build. Developing a unique GUI with aspects of your choice will complete
the system. This is followed by significant testing and quality control processes on every unit and system produced. Production is
made easier and faster with our libraries of existing software repositories and firmware updates, and these are readily available
for rapid project starts and OEMs. Many Teledyne Marine products that exist today once began as an integration project based
on one customer’s needs. Success in the field and in operation meant that these solutions were in demand and production soon
became routine. Contact us today with your unique requirements and we will be delighted to discuss your applications and
operational needs. Whether it be an integration of two or three, or even more Teledyne Marine products into one system, or a
project bringing together your product with CDL components and new or existing solutions, we have the drive and capabilities
to provide the system you need.

SOLUTIONS
Client specified special projectsCDL Systems & Solutions regularly provides turnkey solutions for clients in a large number of subsea areas. We can offer solutions to almost any subsea sensor or control requirement.
Wide range of existing productsGiven the wide range of Teledyne Marine products already in the market, we are able to utilise our own off-the-shelf sensors to reduce development time.
Multi-discipline development teamOur team are highly flexible and trained in a number of electronic and mechanical design disciplines including embedded systems, algorithm development, PCB design, software architecture and many others.
Fast turnaroundTime is always short for special projects. Our existing code libraries and familiarity with our own systems allows for rapid development of bespoke solutions.
Tight deadlinesWe always work to deadlines and have a team of supporting suppliers for metal work, machining, PCBs and other parts that we can trust. Our in-house team are fast and efficient, delivering high quality on time.
Tailored solutions for unique applications
Bespoke solutions are fundamental to your unique applications. Operational problems that an existing product cannot accomodate for are evident throughout the marine sector with one-off projects requiring special custom-made products for specific deployment times, conditions and changing environments. CDL have produced many tailored products, serving as excellent solutions for a number of previous applications and projects.

SYSTEMSCustom systems with standard building blocks
ACAMS DevelopmentACAMS was originally developed after a customer request for an acoustic control and monitoring system that could be attached to a subsea well intervention capping stack. The idea was to have a backup control and monitoring system with acoustics to the ROV control panel operation.The ACAMS architecture has been designed from the outset to be simple to modify and upgrade. This allows a low cost of ownership and simplistic spares / servicing change out.• Low maintenance• Remotely upgradable• Possible to provide simulated test
