Sending Benthos Commands
The EdgeTech 8011M Acoustic Deck Unit can communicate with legacy Benthos acoustic release models
865-A, 866-A, 867-A, and 875-A using Benthos rate encoded commands. This is accomplished by
configuring the 8011M to Benthos command mode to transmit and receive specific frequencies that
Teledyne Benthos describes as in-band and receive out-band codes and setting repetition rates.
Compatible codes can be found in example tables in this manual addendum or printed on the labels of
the acoustic releases.
