PERFORMANCE
Through the application of hydrodynamics and intensive university research, Northern Diver have maximised the efficiency and power of the DT4 Thrusters to reach their full potential. We are constantly working to ensure the user’s kit will provide the best streamlined profile underwater, to reduce drag and increase the speed of our DT4 Dive Thrusters. The development of a sleek battery cover and ensuring the battery housing harness remains as low profile as possible, will further enhance performance. Additionally, there is a dual battery option, with compatible harness to further extend time and productivity.

ERGONOMICS
The various user groups applications have been considered when designing and configuring the thrusters harness systems. The equipment has been refined for seamless integration with the user’s standard kit. The thrusters include two choices of harness and belt for wearing the kit, that is interchangeable. 

• Tactical harness improves comfort, practicality, and usability, the controller can be configured to right or left.
• A tactical lightweight belt with removable shoulder straps to further improve integration with fully kitted operators.

The tactical harness is available in S/M and L/XL sizes and the tactical belt is available in one adjustable size to cater to a wide range of combat swimmers body types. In both configurations the battery pack is protected and securely housed against the swimmer’s lower back. Both systems feature quick release buckles which allow the battery pack to be changed under water. They also have a MOLLE System for storage.

NIMROD - REMOTE CONTROL
In addition to the manual control provided, the DT4 Thrusters have the capability to be remotely operated with Northern Diver’s NIMROD underwater navigation system.
This enables the user to alter their speed without removing his hand from the navigation equipment giving complete control, whilst maintaining a smooth underwater profile. NIMROD console with DVL makes your mission fully covert.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE & SPARES
To ensure the long life of your DT4 dive thrusters we offer cleaning kits, maintenance kits and the option to purchase spare parts. 

The maintenance kit - features the basic items required to maintain the operation of your DT4 Dive Thrusters and includes a small waterproof hard case for easy transportation. Each maintenance kit includes: allen keys, spanner, propellers, silicone grease and storage case.

The cleaning kit - protects, lubricates, and maintains the best signal quality of the thruster connector cable pins. Consistent maintenance of the cable pins helps reduce intermittent connections, arcing, RFI, wear and abrasion and provides long-lasting protection from oxidation on the plated surface. Each cleaning kit includes: micro- cleaning cloth, swap pack, cleaning solution and storage case.

All components that make up the Northern Diver DT4 Dive Thruster System can be bought as a separate part if required. Each component is easy to order through your Northern Diver sales representative and available for quick delivery in most cases.
