[email protected] www.sonardyne.com Datasheet SIPS 2 XSRS Carbon D Description The Type 8086 XSRS Carbon D is the next step in the evolution of Sonardynes XSRS transceiver range, designed to take the best ideas from the type 7885 & 8005 XSRS units and improve where possible. An XSRS transceiver is an intelligent acoustic device used to measure one way slant range distances underwater, the units are battery powered and are mounted on the streamer sections using industry standard collars. They can also be mounted on tail buoys. The XSRS units communicate with the XSRS controllers by means of the inductive coils and communication circuit within the streamers. The type 8086 offers superior corrosion resistance, even in extreme conditions, due to its carbon composite housing and duplex stainless steel construction. This construction means that the unit has a low in water weight, reducing the need for floatation near the device. The type 8086 is compatible with all previous SIPS2 transceivers and as such uses digital acoustic signals and digital processing techniques to enable it to transmit and receive signals in the same event. In addition, as with all SIPS2 units, it is able to transmit and receive tone burst signals for ranges in poor acoustic environments. Key Features With the option of using standard ‘D’ size Alkaline or Lithium cells the type 8086 XSRS provides users with a low battery cost / long battery life unit. • Choice of Alkaline or Lithium battery packs With the ability to upgrade from previous versions of SIPS2 XSRS transceivers and a lower purchase price than its previous equivalent unit the 8086 XSRS offers large savings in both capital equipment and operational costs. • Superior corrosion resistance due to carbon composite housing and duplex S/S construction • Light in-water weight • Long operating life • Lower purchase cost than previous equivalent unit • Upgrade path from type 7885 and 8005 XSRSs • ASV version available (Type 8088) • Compatible with all SIPS2 transceivers • Capable of receiving 16 ranges per cycle • Designed to transmit to an unlimited number of units • Flash upgradeable firmware • Sealed electronics compartment Sonardyne UK (Head Office) T. +44 (0) 1252 872288 F. +44 (0) 1252 876100 E.
