System description
cNODE MiniS is a family of transponders for underwater positioning and data links, and
operates with HiPAP and cPAP transceivers.
The cNODE MiniS transponders are ideal for
positioning ROVs. They have responder and
transponder functionality, SSBL and LBL positioning,
and telemetry capabilities.
cNODE MiniS is compatible with both Cymbal
protocol for positioning and data link and FSK channels and telemetry.
The transponders are rated up to 7000 metres depending on the housing. They have an
internal tilt sensor ±90°, an external on/off function and a pressure relief valve for safety
purposes. Several models are available with dedicated pressure sensors.
cNODE MiniS is powered from an internal rechargeable Li–Ion battery, and can be
powered from ROVs 24 V during operation. An on-deck battery charger is available.
Update the configuration and the software via an external connector. TTC30 can be
used for test and configuration.
