Datasheet
SIPS 2 HGPS Transceiver
Description
A key component in Sonardyne’s
SIPS System, HGPS (Head and Gun
Positioning System) transceivers are
intelligent, shock-mounted acoustic
devices designed to position seismic
sources and tailbuoys.
HGPS Transceivers are hard wired
into individual channels on the SIPS2
Controller cards and do not need
batteries. A two wire D.C.
differential system with a floating
ground powers the HGPS units. The
communications are superimposed
on the D.C. level this is the same as
that used by XSRS transceivers.
