System description
cNODE MiniS 1.11-50V Ti is a family of transponders for underwater positioning and
data links, and operates with HiPAP and cPAP transceivers. cNODE MiniS 1.11-50V Ti
is designed to be a very versatile system with many interchangeable parts.
The cNODE MiniS 1.11-50V Ti transponders are used with HiPAP and cPAP systems in
underwater positioning and are ideal for positioning ROVs. They have responder and
transponder functionality, SSBL and LBL positioning, and telemetry capabilities.
cNODE MiniS 1.11-50V Ti is compatible with both Cymbal protocol for positioning and
data link and HiPAP/HPR 400 channels and telemetry.
The transponders are rated to 11000 m with a housing made of titanium. They have
an internal tilt sensor ±90°, an external on/off function and a pressure relief valve for
safety purposes.
cNODE MiniS 1.11-50V Ti powers from an internal rechargeable Li–Ion battery pack,
and can be charged from ROVs 24 V during operation. An on-deck battery charger is
available.
Configuration and software updates via an external connector. TTC10 can be used for
test and configuration.
