Dynamic Positioning Transponder with Inclinometer (DPTi)
Description
Key Features
The Type 8132 Dynamic Positioning
Transponder with dual-axis
inclinometers (DPTi) is designed to
monitor the angle of the riser flex
joint on a drilling vessel.
• Depth rated to 3000 Metres
Available with a 3,000 metre rated
directional transducer, DPTi’s are
equipped with a depth sensor and
advanced power and gain controls if
required.
DPTi’s support Sonardyne
Wideband™ signals, tone
frequencies and all HPR
300/HiPAP® channels. DPT also
supports Sonardyne command and
control options.
• Incorporates Sonardyne’s latest
Wideband™ Technology
• Multiple operating modes; tone
burst and wideband
• Hundreds of operating channels
allowing truly independent acoustic
operations
• Standard Sensors – inclinometer,
depth & temperature
• Mounting kit to ensure relocation
into the same installed position
after battery change
• Easy to set-up and test using PC
software, PTT or DTU
