Compatt 5 Wideband Transponder - Heavy Load
Description
The Types 8045/8047 Heavy Load
Compatt 5 combines the benefits of
an advanced subsea navigation
transponder with the heavy lift
capabilities of an acoustic release
transponder for use in the
construction survey market.
Key Features
•
Incorporates Sonardyne’s latest
Fusion Wideband Technology
•
Multiple operating modes; tone
burst and wideband
•
Safe Working Load of 2�½ Tonnes
•
Combined LBL & USBL positioning
transponder
•
Depth rated to 7,000 Metres
•
Proven release mechanism
•
Choice of short or long housing
lengths
•
Commandable from vessel or ROV
•
Industry standard acoustics (inc.
300/400 series channels -
positioning only)
•
Excellent corrosion resistance -
Ferralium 255
•
Integrated temperature, depth and
tilt sensor
Standard features include the choice
of standard or short housing lengths,
Omni or Directional transducers,
highly reliable acoustic release
mechanism, RS232 interface for
test/setup, temperature, depth and
tilt sensors and depth rating to 7,000
metres. The unit is fully compatible
with all Fusion systems, standard
Compatt 5 transponders as well as
previous generation LBL and USBL
hardware.
The transponder has been developed
to allow a user to precisely position a
structure or load on the seabed and
then release it on command using a
Sonardyne Long BaseLine or Ultra-
Short BaseLine acoustic navigation
system. The need for a separate back
deck unit to control the acoustic
release is therefore removed, saving
operational time and money.
All Medium Frequency Compatt 5s
now incorporate Fusion Wideband
Technology which uses advanced
digital signalling techniques to
dramatically improve the
performance of acoustic positioning,
navigation and telemetry systems.
The faster and more rugged
wideband telemetry scheme
supported by Compatt 5, enables
baseline measurement and
calibration data to be acquired faster
and more reliably, allowing users to
begin work sooner.
