[email protected] www.sonardyne.com Datasheet Programmable Acoustic Navigator (PAN) Description Sonardyne’s Type 7145 Programmable Acoustic Navigator (PAN) is a microcomputer-controlled unit dedicated to the transmission, reception and decoding of acoustic signals. It is part of Sonardyne’s integrated family of underwater acoustic navigation and telemetry equipment. The system is applicable to a wide range of tasks in underwater engineering measurement, remote control and monitoring. The Medium Frequency (MF) version operates in the frequency band 18 to 36 kHz. This provides the best compromise between long range, accurate positioning and operation in high level of noise. When operating in the Low Frequency (LF) band, transponder ranges of over 10 km are obtainable. When working with Extra High Frequency (EHF) Compatts, accuracies of 30 mm or better can be achieved. PAN is available in all frequency bands (LF, MF, EHF) and is field convertible by substitution of circuit cards. Key Features • Command of template positioning systems and spool-piece measuring equipment • The PAN can be controlled by a computer terminal or master computer via an RS232C serial data link or the popular IEEE 488 instrumentation bus. • Internal rechargeable batteries allow operation away from mains supplies • Two transducer ports which are software-selectable • LF, MF or EHF versions • Portable or rack mounted models available Sonardyne UK (Head Office) T. +44 (0) 1252 872288 F. +44 (0) 1252 876100 E.
