SONARDYNE 8190

Sonardyne's existing Wideband Sub-Mini transponder (WSM) is typically interrogated by a responder trigger sent down the ROVs' umbilical or a narrow band tone signal. In some situations, reverberation or multi-path of the tone interrogation can cause interference problems. The new WMT is Sonardyne's first mini-sized transponder.

The WMT is available in three depth versions: 3,000 m, 5,000 m and 7,000 m. The 5,000 m and 7,000 m versions have a higher acoustic output power level for improved long range operation. An On/Off switch (3,000 m only) helps to ensure the battery pack is not discharged when not in use. 

Remote omni or directional transducers are available for both the WMT and existing WSM range. These make installation on a ROV easier as the remote transducer can be installed where there is good line-of-sight and is easily replaced if damaged.
