Model 3102 Test Transducer
The test transducer is used for testing and configuring beacons in air.
Model 3190/1 Transducer
The 3190 transducer is a medium frequency (MF) transducer complete with integrated cable for
typical deployments over the side of a vessel for acoustic release and ranging applications. The
transducer can be deployed either free hanging or pole mounted depending on application, see
Model 3190 deployment options. The 3191 transducer is the Low Frequency (LF) complete with
integral cable for LF ranging and release operations.
The cable is integral to the transducer and provides a safe means of deployment together with
electrical connections. To prevent damage to the cable and minimise potential problems, please
ensure the following points are observed:
Ensure personnel cannot step on, or trip over, the deck cable.
Keep the cable away from sources of electrical noise such as electrical generators, sonar
sources (bang boxes etc.).
Avoid trapping the cable in doorways, hatches and alike.
Ensure the cable is not bent less than the minimum bend radius of
150mm
.
Ensure the cable is not laid over sharp edges.
When deployed over the side of a vessel, ensure that the cable is secured to any mounting
pole to prevent chaffing, strumming, and excessive movement.
Ensure the polyurethane outer jacket of the cable is not breached allowing water ingress.
