Transponders
The transponders have a depth rating of 7000 metres, and the housing is either an
anodised aluminium tube or a titanium tube which is polyurethane coated to protect
against corrosion and abrasion.
There are several models available with different beam
widths. Some models have a pressure sensor. All
transponders have an internal tilt sensor ±90° and
a rechargeable Li-Ion battery. The transponder can
be charged from an on deck battery charger or from a
ROV’s 24 V during operation.
Battery charger
Charging a battery is a process with an inherent risk so check applicable procedure(s)
prior to charging in order to first assess the level of the inherent risk; and then, if
necessary, apply suitable controls to mitigate the inherent risk before charging.
The battery charger charges the internal battery in
approximately 1 hour. The LED charge status indicator
shows when charging is complete.
