SECTION 1: OVERVIEW
The model 4380 series multi-beacons are general purpose acoustic targets that can be used as
transponders, responders, or timed pingers. The 4380 series Multi-Beacons are extremely flexible, and
can be user-configured in the field to accommodate a wide variety of mission requirements.
The 4380 series multi-beacons use an externally-accessible serial port, allowing the end user to quickly
adapt the beacon to meet their tracking needs. The unit can act as a standalone transponder, operating
on its Lithium ION batteries, or it can be connected to an external power source and keyed externally as
a responder, if desired. The 4380’s internal battery charge management circuitry eliminates the need for
a beacon-specific battery charger; a 24 – 55Vdc power source capable of delivering 1 amp is all that is
required.
A diaphragm-isolated, 1500 PSI pressure transducer comes standard with the 4380. When enabled, the
pressure telemetry feature supplies the topside with pressure information that is used to compute depth,
which increasing acoustic tracking accuracy. The standard 4380 is equipped with an Omni-directional
transducer, but a directional transducer version is also available (see
Figure 1-1 ).
