collar
Prerequisites

transponder’s transducer and the ship’s transducer.
The minimum length of the sling between the
transponder and the weight should be 2 m to avoid the
transponder from hitting the weight when it lands on
the seabed.
Procedure
1 Connect the lifting device to the rope on the
floating collar.
2 Lift the transponder with caution to avoid
slamming into other solid objects.
3 Release the transponder into the water.
