[email protected] www.sonardyne.com Datasheet Autonomous Monitoring Transponder (AMT) Description The Type 8305 AMT is an extension to the functionality provided by Compatt 5 (extensively used for subsea survey tasks) but with unique autonomous (without surface control) acquisition of acoustic ranges and sensor data. The data is timestamped and logged internally for recovery via the integrated highspeed acoustic telemetry modem. The autonomy allows measurements to be made over a long period of time without a surface vessel or ROV being available to command the process. This enables new applications that save vessel and survey time so reducing cost and risk. Typical Applications Precision sensors (pressure, temp, sound velocity and dual-axis inclinometers) are integrated and are intelligently powered up at the requested time and sampling period, providing an ultra-low power platform for up to three years deployment, including recovery of all data via telemetry. Sampling regimes can be re-programmed remotely via the telemetry link. • Integrated precision sensors: pressure, temp, SV, inclinometers The AMT has many of the same acoustic functions as Compatt5, operates in the Medium Frequency band and is fully Sonardyne Wideband® compatible. The AMT is available with a range of transducers (omni and directional), depth ratings and pressure housings dependent on deployment duration and application. Additional sensors can be easily integrated externally via the power and communications port. • Metocean platform: Subsea acquisition of current profile, temperature, sound velocity and tidal height record • AUV survey and metrology reference, acoustic position reference, SV and tidal height correction station • Pipeline buckle monitoring • Structure settlement monitoring Key Features • Autonomous operation: acquires acoustic ranges & sensor data without surface command • Options for external sensors: current meters etc. • Easy to set-up with configuration and sampling period programmable via telemetry link • Integrated high speed modem functions • Sonardyne Wideband compatible navigation functions • 3 year deployment battery life: Alkaline and lithium battery options • HiPAP® and USBL compatible • Depth rated to 3000 Metres: (Options for 5000 Metres and 7000 Metres) • Aluminium bronze or hardanodised aluminium housing options • Integrated release mechanism option Sonardyne UK (Head Office) T. +44 (0) 1252 872288 F. +44 (0) 1252 876100 E.
