Apollo-X Models
Apollo-X7
The long tube variant of the Apollo-X is the standard model, equipping the largest power
supply by capacity and physical size.
While the Apollo-X7 operates in the same manner as the standard long-tube Apollo, this
model uses seven
size D 1.5V alkaline batteries with a nominal voltage of 10.5V.
The Apollo-X7 has a depth rating of 11,000 meters.
Apollo-X3
The short tube variant of the Apollo, the Apollo-3 offers a shorter, lighter package for
easier mooring and has all of the capabilities of the standard version.
While the Apollo-X3 operates in the same manner as the Apollo-X7, this model
requires
three
Saft LSH20
size D 3.6V lithium batteries with a nominal voltage of
10.8V. It also has a different voltage threshold to account for its different battery
pack for low battery mode.
Like its larger counterpart, the Apollo-X3 has a depth rating of 11,000 meters.
Apollo-X1
The X1 is a miniature, low voltage version of the Apollo-X beacon. The X1 incorporates
all operational functionality of the Apollo-X7, but is certified to a depth of 6000m.
The smaller profile of the X1
requires
one
Saft LSH20
Size D 3.6V lithium battery.
Apollo-XRH
The Apollo-XRH is a remote head variant of the Apollo-X line, designed for easier
mooring and weight distribution. Apollo-XRHs operate in the same manner as the
standard Apollo-X, and can be ordered with long alkaline, or short lithium battery
tube.
Since the Apollo-XRH can also be powered externally using its included cable, it
can also be powered within the range of 6 to 28VDC.
