Datasheet
Compatt Mk4 EHF (Discontinued)
Description
Key Features
The COMPuting and Telemetering
Transponder (Compatt) is a
microcomputer controlled subsea
transponder used for acoustic
navigation and positioning. The EHF
system is suitable to a wide range of
tasks such as underwater
measurement, remote control and
monitoring.
• Sequential mode operation with
twelve individual channel
frequencies
The Type 7801 Compatt Mk4 is the
Extra High Frequency (50-110 kHz)
version of Sonardyne’s fourth
generation family of transponders
built to complement the existing
range of Long Baseline products. Its
lightweight design permits easy subsea installation and removal by
divers and ROVs making it an ideal
tool for use in spoolpiece
measurement applications.
• Simultaneous receiver card for high
speed positional updates fitted as
standard
• Unique addresses allow up to 768
Compatts to be used in close
proximity
• Programmable address codes
• Conventional Enable and Disable
commands for normal transponder
operation
• Advanced telemetry facility replies
to all commands with Compatt
address, confirmation of command
executed and error-checking
• Direct measurement of baselines
between Compatts greatly
improves array calibration
accuracy
• Baseline measurement 20 mm
• Temperature and depth
measurements allow sea-bed sound
velocity evaluation
• Battery check records remaining
battery capacity and time since last
charge
• Remote status Monitory
• Cycle mode permits up to eight
preset commands to be executed
on receipt of one command
• Internal tilt sensor ±45°
• Battery count auto-disable at 90%
battery pack usage.
